    what personal gain is there to be had?

    The satisfaction of being “on the good side” and “sticking it to the man” with righteous outrage, as usual with these things. I fucking hate AI, but trying to tear down Linus (and the rest of the Kernel team) over them trying to see if it makes sense to use is silly. They aren’t planning to drop their rigorous QA or to accept code the submitter can’t explain/maintain. Ethics are a concern, but since the end result will be FOSS I personally don’t care as much either (YMMV).

    I’m also really interested in hearing how this will go for them and what policies they will ultimately implement. I expect them to do this properly, which then means that everyone can point to their implementation when confronted with vibe coding at work. And then the suits will decide that they’d rather just do it cheap & fast, fucking everything up yet again, but at least they will have been told so.





  • I don’t get it either. If you don’t have the skill to do something you can always pay someone. That doesn’t make you the one with the skill though. If they did it for free then you still aren’t the one doing the thing. You’re just an ideas person. That’s not a bad thing but it usually is the easy part of any creative endeavor.






  • I’ve only learned to drive fairly recently so I still remember getting to the point where I’m sort of comfortable with manual shifting. There’s two ways of doing it (that I know of). The simple way: Put it in first gear, then very slowly let the clutch go, don’t touch any other pedal. You’ll find some point where it engages and the car starts creeping forward. A bit further an you’re out of the danger zone and can drive normally. Took me a bunch of tries but I’m reasonably fast with it now without fear of stalling the engine.

    The other one is mostly the same idea, but you start accelerating pretty much right when it’s engaging, without really waiting for creep happening. I’ve actually found that easier on some cars, but it’s also a great way of creating interesting noises.
