He has told people that they should kill themself. I'm not trying to throw a shade on him but that's the unfortunate truth.
That's good. You can also check out btrbk - it's a tool which can take snapshots for you, like Timeshift, but also back them up to somewhere.
Absolutely, my backup solution is actually based on BTRFS snapshots. I use btrbk (already mentioned in another reply) to take the snapshots and copy them to another drive. Then a nightly restic job backs up the latest snapshot to B2.
Just a friendly reminder that BTRFS snapshots are not backups.
Yeah, I intentionally left out the word "groundbreaking" from the title when posting, because that's a ridiculous thing to say about this research. Obviously, it could be much better.
But I would say that any attempt at rational look at LLMs in mainstream media is a step in the right direction.
Well, yeah, I could've told you that too but neither of us would have any proof. It's one thing to try it out and decide that it sucks for your use case and another thing to measure and quantify it somehow.
Why such a negative reaction if you apparently agree with the outcome?
I'm not surprised by those results at all but I think it's a very good thing to see some actual research and numbers.
I use Neovim. It feels like a second nature after using it for years. I love how effortless the interaction with the editor is after you have spent hundreds of hours learning it. I have no reasonable arguments to convince anyone to do that though. I just do it because I enjoy the hell out of it 🤷♂️
Seriously, this obsession with asking DeepSeek about the Tiananmen Square is boring. Yeah, no shit, this LLM chat is censored. Like every fucking other publically available LLM chat. How is it news?
I think your last sentence hits the nail on the head. It's not perfect but it's good enough. There are some pains and edge cases but it still makes a night and day difference. This is my experience after introducing typing to the entire codebase in my work project over the course of last year.
I really don't think context changes a lot in this case. Being frustrated doesn't make statements like this acceptable. Neither does starting the sentence with "if" or being right (which he was).
Believe me, my intention is not to attack or discredit Linus. As a SE and Linux enthusiast I have a great deal of respect for him. But this is not exclusive with acknowledging that he is just a human and has flaws like all of us.
I brought this up to show that it's more complicated than just being "really nice but very honest", that's all.
