Our algorithmic infrastructure creates a scalable graph over source code at scale. Our AI processing infrastructure then enables us to apply AI agents, guided by algorithms, to make code modifications at scale. The core of this infrastructure is already operating at scale
He put some scale in his scale.
AI agents, guided by algorithms
Computers are guided by algorithms, amazing.
Even if you use AI, bullshit is still bullshit. That doesn't change.
Most of them are C++ developers who refuse to face the fact that they've spent years and years trying to master a language that was poorly defined to begin with
How is that worse than you, unwilling to admit that Rust is undefined completely?
*big codebase: at least 200kLoC and written over at least three years or by at least three people.
Worked with 3 or 4 big codebases* and written two myself. I think I've just barely crossed the million LoC mark if I add all that together.
It doesn't quite pass the laugh test that a single dev can supervise (I have any meaningful level of responsibility for delivering) that many LoC per month, even if he's got a thousand monkeys at a thousand terminals hanging on his every word, especially when almost all of the Windows and Microsoft products code handles oddball corner cases like hardware interfacing.
Microsoft can't even maintain compatibility between different iterations of their own product. Office365 != office for windows != office for mac.
This is a joke.
Why should Linux distributions change
Because the only "should" in Linux is responding to the needs and demands of those with the courage to abandon the perfidious shitware they were sold, and forego the agendas and interests of those that purveyed it. That's literally all Linux, and the Unix from which it inherited its spirit, really is: a highly successful reaction by those with the talent to create the alternatives they prefer. And they will continue this process of adapting and conquering, whether you like it or not.
The oil services industry aint happy either; as they were behind a lot of the platform development etc for offshore work.
That leaves us with two explainations
The Administration irrationally hates wind, no matter who is making money off it. (I doubt this, Plenty of ways to shovel money to Trump cronies)
or
There really is some national security reason. One credible thing I have seen is the turbines interfere with radars and sonars used to watch for low flying enemy aircraft and subs.
Yes but when it comes to a subject like 'Intellectual property' I think it is rather odd to characterize any opinion as 'extreme' at least as far as you are not restoring to violence or something to push that opinion.
If someone said only Chocolate is the only flavor of ice cream with eating, would you describe them as a "Chocolate Extremist"?
Why would an open source OS challenge Windows?
Because Windows is rapidly ascending the enshittification curve, and running it is self harm.
If you are really convinced generative AI makes games shitty then what's the problem? Presumably those games won't get the awards because they suck. The only reason for this policy is because you think it *will* make for good games but you want to stop its use anyway.
Yep, exactly.
Because it is a mature product. You have to sell your brand on something..
Everything else like ice on the door etc has been cloned. You can't really sell on quality. It is to difficult to educate consumers. They are standing there in Lowes' looking at 2 generally identical 22 sq ft units but one costs $300 more. Which one are they leaving with?
In the old days of appliance stores, where you would generally interact with a sales person they might explain that well the INSERT-BRAND has 25% lower failure rate and warranty period 2x as long. You might have got sales that way but now that most appliances are sold either scrolling on Amazon or at DIY place where you're lucky to find and associate and even if you do they won't have a clue about the appliance - you have to sell on gimmicks.
Slapping a big screen on it, and saying it plans your dinner for you is a nice gimmick. Its the kind of thing people will think, hey that's cool, even if they never use it later.
He entered the process "looking for a friend"
A CEO was looking for a friend?
yeah, anal should have been annual, but given we are talking about lawyers, the first auto correct works just as well.
grep me no patterns and I'll tell you no lines.
