Just imagine every person complaining about #AI contributions on a daily basis would take a habit of helping struggling FOSS projects daily, even one small bit at a time, so that they have an easier time avoiding AI. I guess that's not as "ethical" as raging on the internet...

I built the new release from source and tried it. The run command needed no extra permissions. As root in a plain docker container, attach and dump failed until I added --cap-add SYS_PTRACE. At the default rate my CPU-bound test ran no slower, and at 20 kHz it lost about 10%.

Coding agents reduce software development to a simple matter of: * specifying requirements * verifying correctness and quality * maintaining and operating software you didn't write As we all know, those have always been the easiest, most well-understood parts of the craft, so everything is fine!

I've read two "LLMs are lying to you" takes this morning alone, so this is a useful reminder. #AI has no more intention than your vacuum cleaner smearing dog poo all over your living room. It's you who assigns the notion of truth to its output.

I’m looking to discuss a scope around bare-metal lifecycle architecture for GPU infrastructure. Your Redfish inspection work is a useful example of the decisions involved: when to trust out-of-band data, when to boot an agent, and how to keep the controller’s state consistent through failure.

The opportunity I’d put forward is to carry that expertise into GPU platform qualification, provider integrations and recovery semantics. The aim is a repeatable software platform for operating hardware as OpenAI’s planned compute buildout grows.

I’d want to align the technical scope with what you’d like to own next. Would you be open to a conversation?

Relatedly, when you shame someone for doing something, you give them two options, more or less: - Admit that you're right, and feel intense shame. - Deny that you're right, and feel the relief and satisfaction that comes from avoiding shame. Guess which one most people do.
