Linus Torvalds "Did What I Preach", Used AI To Make Code Decipherable & Uncovered More Bugs

After using Claude Code to draft code to help make a fundamental improvement to the Linux kernel, Linux creator Linus Torvalds continued using AI this weekend and talking up its benefits. Beyond generating initial patches and a test program for that noted I/O enhancement, he separately talked up using AI/LLMs for making patches more decipherable to understand in the process the AI noted more long-standing bugs within the Linux kernel...

My colleague installed Eclipse to see what programming in Java is like, and then used Claude to figure out which files he needed to delete to cleanup the pile of stuff it installed. Claude found this:

6 years after releasing rusty-s3, downloads keep growing. Of all of the stuff going on this year, I'm happy to see it continue to be adopted with little effort on my side. Happy that this small little crate is slowly finding it's own niche of users that dislike bloated autogenerated API bindings.

After this "gift", I expect more PRs sent to open source projects. Huge sloppy descriptions, the author using the PR review feature to talk to it's own clanker. 🙄 Maybe I should give Qwen it's own GitHub account so that clankers talk to each other and I don't have to even think about this mess /s

Revolut: ne parlano tutti ma non ho letto una sola riga concretamente utile... Quando arriveranno, se arriveranno, le indicazioni su COME PROTEGGERSI saranno tardive, generiche e utili quanto un asciugamano sul Titanic. Ci provo io, non sarà piacevole, ma devi sapere cosa ti sta accadendo.

L'immane data breach che ha coinvolto le PEC governative e le banche mette a rischio tutti noi. Breve guida ai rischi all'orizzonte e come proteggersi.

Google's "Painful To Maintain" Binder C Linux Driver Being Removed In Favor Of Rust - https://www.phoronix.com/news/Google-Binder-C-Goodbye

Google's "Painful To Maintain" Binder C Linux Driver Being Removed In Favor Of Rust

Google's Binder driver written in the C programming language has long been part of the mainline kernel as the inter-process communication (IPC) mechanism used on Android. The past few years the Binder driver was rewritten in Rust as one of the first "real" drivers in the Rust programming language. The Rust Binder driver was upstreamed in Linux 6.18 and now for the upcoming Linux 7.4 kernel cycle, the old Binder C-based driver is set to be retired...

Migration almost complete. I'm starting to appreciate the GitHub Actions-style CI, despite the flaws, after my years long love-hate relationship with Gitlab CI. The UX in general is amazing and snappy. Maybe I'll move some of my smaller projects to Codeberg, who knows...

Finally got around to trying Forgejo. Performance is better, except some endpoints where for some reason it takes 150ms to list commits in a tiny repo, which still feels like too much. Anyway, if I stop complaining about GitLab you now know why.
