Hello “Zero”!

Basically nothing is ever truly zero

That’s why you need to pay for premium so you can get the 1080p premium bitrate.

Such a contradictory sentence. Can’t wait for The Final Experiment to be done with, so we can eject any remaining flerfs from society.

I think the best bet is an entirely new system from the ground up that has an open architecture that every company can equally implement that from the ground up and is as simple as possible.

This keeps getting said by people who don’t understand operating systems. Even if you build something from the ground up, you still end up with an operating system very much like Linux and Windows. The choices that were made for each OS were not random. The principles of I/O, user input, graphics display, filesystems, etc, are more or less universal concepts across all OSes.

What you will accomplish is making an OS that no one will use. Linux, Windows, and macOS already fill every market that can be filled. Microsoft tried to become a third player in the mobile market and their product died pretty quickly.

Google has been trying to build Fuschia into a new OS and they’ve asked back their ambitions (from what I recall reading).

I’m getting non-stop Samsung, insurance, food, and other kinds of ads in the middle of shows.

It makes me not want to use Prime. And in fact, I don’t anymore.

I have my money on Tesla being the first cloud-connected car (that phrase shouldn’t exist) to be hacked and push a malicious firmware that will cause all cars to simultaneously activate self driving and to pull a hard left at a specific time (time bomb).

Thank goodness they cleared out all that snow and ice so that we can finally see the pretty mountains.

He just mentioned it as an example of a kernel written in Rust. The interviewer asked if Rust isn’t accepted into the Linux kernel, would someone go out and build their own in Rust, and Linus mentioned Redox saying that’s already happened.

It was a joke

wooosh

Couldn’t even use a 16 Pro?

I think Linus mentioned Redox directly during the interview

You live in a fantasy world if you think it’s possible to catch 100% of mistakes internally.

Nice strawman. No one said anything about catching 100% of mistakes internally. But outsourcing that work to unpaid volunteers with zero verification of qualifications is the definition of “passing the buck”.

The correct answer is to hire and train up a QA team.

Not many.

Yes, literally every single person on this planet can recite a song or poem.

But there are naturally massive differences between a human brain and an LLM. The point I was making is that an LLM doesn’t copy and store books and articles wholesale. The ability to reproduce samples from the dataset is more of a quirk than a feature, in the same way that a person can memorize things.

You’re right, I’ve responded to a few comments here and I thought it was another comment thread I was replying to.

I don’t get why people who don’t like their content bother hating them.

Because for good or bad, they have a significant influence in the tech world. And since they are more bad, people don’t like them.

Take the Linux challenge, for example. They massively misrepresented the usability of Linux for the average person and for gamers. They even concluded at the end of their challenge that Linux was unsuitable for most gamers. And the release and success of the Steam Deck shortly afterwards was quite delicious.

Then there was the bit where Linus didn’t read the warning about the package manager removing the desktop environment and just hit yes, then complained that it wasn’t his fault and that the system was poorly designed.

The guy literally has an issue with accountability.

You’re upset they aren’t more knowledgeable as if everyone making tech content needs to know everything.

A better statement is that I’m upset because they preach their deep and unchallengeable knowledge and act as a be-all end-all authority in tech.

But really I’m not “upset” by them. I just really dislike them and think they’re insufferable.

And I don’t watch LTT. And there are plenty of other, and objectively better, channels about tech. And I watch those better channels, including GamersNexus.

All I’ll say is I’m willing to wait and see if they improve or if they make similar mistakes.

Their entire channel is a giant mistake. All of their content is garbage by virtue of their proven flawed and subpar provides. A process they admitted was flawed, and from what I’ve seen is still flawed with the garbage corrections in the comments nonsense they promised to fix.

They’re just going to go about business as usual and just be a little more careful with their public image. They don’t deserve the views they get.
