The output is a feature, a bug fix, a product.

Correct me if I’m wrong aren’t they the innovators of multiple things like skills sub agents mcp and whatever this memory thing is agents files

Seriously they are the apple iPhone or AWS of LLM a decade or so ago.


Why doesn’t you ask it and find out ;)

Because the model doesn't know but will happily tell a convincing lie about how it works.

What were the challenges out of interest. Some of it is the use of gcc extensions? Which needed an equivalent and porting over to the equivalent

`asm goto` was the big one. The x86_64 maintainers broke the clang builds very intentionally just after we had gotten x86_64 building (with necessary patches upstreamed) by requiring compiler support for that GNU C extension. This was right around the time of meltdown+spectre, and the x86_64 maintainers didn't want to support fallbacks for older versions of GCC (and ToT Clang at the time) that lacked `asm goto` support for the initial fixes shipped under duress (embargo). `asm goto` requires plumbing throughout the compiler, and I've learned more about register allocation than I particularly care...

Fixing some UB in the kernel sources, lots of plumbing to the build system (particularly making it more hermetic).

Getting the rest of the LLVM binutils substitutes to work in place of GNU binutils was also challenging. Rewriting a fair amount of 32b ARM assembler to be "unified syntax" in the kernel. Linker bugs are hard to debug. Kernel boot failures are hard to debug (thank god for QEMU+gdb protocol). Lots of people worked on many different parts here, not just me.

Evangelism and convincing upstream kernel developers why clang support was worth anyones while.

https://github.com/ClangBuiltLinux/linux/issues for a good historical perspective. https://github.com/ClangBuiltLinux/linux/wiki/Talks,-Present... for talks on the subject. Keynoting LLVM conf was a personal highlight (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6l4DtR5exwo).


Or want to diversify to reduce exposure, after all a loan inherently has a risk. Doesn’t mean ( it could ) it’s a fire sale a eggs basket situation

Not within a mayor’s control

Not kill children is the start , then not kill the innocent and then move to the civilized world conduct. Fairly low bar to meet.

So just ignore the atrocities Hamas/male Gazans committed and move on? Not exactly realistic?

they are not synonymous as you’d like to make us believe, just cant be a homogeneous group.

Yes I think countries shouldn’t kill innocent people, you’d think people that experienced a genocide wouldn’t commit genocide so easily


The disclaimers speak loudly what are you trying to say

Writing the plugin seems to be a hard problem. It’s not clear from the link if there are non trivial plugins written for real formats, not toy not POC but a for reals plugins


occam isn’t a law of nature, it’s an expression or a sharp quip

I don’t see a conspiracy here other than sheep herd mentality of hire hire hire then too many
