Do we need to add "/v2" behind every json import statement in every old codebase to future proof that shit or does plain encoding/json use the v2 systems under the hood? I understood that nothing should break with this version at least?
All of them. Didn't you read that like 85% of US stockmarket growth in 2025 was about the "AI boom". They need people to think that this AI meme will actually work. AI is the floor that keeps US economy afloat rn, or at least illusion of normalcy.
This is a fucking stock manipulation ploy, just like every 'rogue agent' AI scare. The companies are not making promised advancement and their promised AGI dreams are dead. What better than to cook up an excuse that 'le ebil goberment' made us stop research than to face the investors who will ask what happened to all the money. Diffuse the stock bubble more slowly instead of a full on high speed crash.
What Linus is saying that LLM review is finding decades old esoteric bugs in the kernel code, like dirtyfrag. And the amount of bugfixes and mitigations are pushing the update sizes up. This is making the kernel more secure and stable in the long run. It will be just a rocky couple of years.
idk, code was always written only once, but it will always be read many times. Writing code with LLM centric way and just focusing the high level gets hazardous pretty quickly, since somebody actually needs to understand the codebase deep down (or at least the relevant part) when something goes wrong. When you have 100k+ line codebase with multiple contributors with LLM it can very quickly turn into a black box, which nobody understand anything deep down anymore and everybody are more and more incentivized to use LLMs to interact with the thing to get anything real done. Then it's couple hallucinations away from turning into a fragile mess, where things break unexpected and nobody knows why.
Youtube and X is basically a private monopolies. They only care about the profit margins. Any and all extra expenditure to R&D or consumer satisfaction is just a cut to their profits today and since they don't have any real competition, so why raise quality of service above the bare minimum? Their only real selling point is that everybody uses them, so everybody will have to keep using them, if they want to be seen or access most things. they don't care if they serve slop, because you and me and the wider masses are going to eat it up anyway.
The whole US economy rests on the promise that their fancy autocorrect will become a god. Of course they will grab onto anything that they think will keep them afloat
it's really inefficient to pursue such a massive research endeavor if ASML was just normally open for business. To do all that work was only justified by it opening a chance in domestic semiconductor production which is the real price for China. Now they are probably also wanting to compete in DUV machines in the future, to recoup the development costs, even if the real price is the self-sufficiency that they bring.
ASML is a victim of US sanctions and Dutch/EU spinelessness. China would never had bothered to pursue lithography as serious as it did if US wasn't continuously trying to stop China on every technological front. The Europeans let US do it in the hope and under the promise that China would never succeed.
Doesn't change the fact that US stock market was already massively overpriced. Ai companies can't make good on the promises of astronomical profits, but neither can Apple. This is just lose less option, but now it's apple that is getting overvalued.
Yeah... for global gaming market disk sales are like under 5% of total sales, even for consoles it's like 10%. It's a nice option for you and me, a collectors item, aftermarket sales, a hedge for digital "ownership" rugpulls? For publishers and devs it's just a cost that doesn't even justify itself, because nobody is buying or putting their money where their mouth is. How low would the marketshare have to go for them to be justifying pulling the plug. Nobody really gave a shit about physical until few days ago.
Plus 90% of the games that come with disk option these days are irredeemable AAA slop anyway. Digital distribution enabled the indie scene where all the innovation is these days. if we had disks we we wouldn't have indie studios. Companies like EA, Sony, and Ubisoft would dominate totally and act as gatekeepers, because only they would have the resources pay for the upfront cost of publishing to make the damn things. Digital won, accept the caveats and be happy about the upsides.
This is poison for every American AI company's business model. They want to have the best model that they can then cash in with. Chinese just provide the world with models that are as good, better or good enough, but always for the fraction of the price.
Who the fuck even pretends these packages even make a difference now. They just pass the N:th package on habit every couple of months, because not passing one would mean that the sanctions and the people who lobbied and forced them down on everyone's throats were wrong about sanctions all along.
US soldiers are cowards, not brave risk takers or supersoldiers, but they don't need to looking how US fights. The whole myth (inflated, but not totally ungrounded) that even allow US military to even operate is the idea that they are so technologically ahead to everybody that nobody is in any actual risk of dying or getting hurt and military is just some field trip for poor kids to get college. I guess it's kinda of a bravery when your wars are all air campaigns and your bravest and most machho soldier is some F35 pilot firing standoff munitions to some school 200km away.
When it comes to wars US has all the freedom to choose target countries, that it thinks are weak, softened by sanctions and intelligence undermining, and not ready to put up much of fight. It has always been this way, and US isolated geography gives them this freedom to pick their battles, US never needs to play defense or think about long term consequences, since "war" is always something happens to somebody else somewhere else. The same goes for political imperative of American wars, any amount of bodies that can been seen coming back in coffins is too much.

He is rich tho.

they are NOT vibe coding the kernel.

Pleasing stock traders on the side really is poison for anybody that even remotely works in anything creative.

And don't forget bitrot. The modern bluerays are scarecrow and wind chime material in like 2-3 decades after manufacturing.

Slap "AI" into a business name or a plan and watch the investors roll in. It doesn't matter if it's a good idea on paper or not.

MPV. I like the minimalism. and everything I need is under the hood in MPV.
