Otherwise, I occupy my time with various bits in RISC-V land.

@sima Right. I would have thought that, given it's a "screening" interview, figuring out whether they understand the "culture" of upstream OSS projects (I guess with the assumption that upstream is involved) and how to deal with the various personalities and debates that are involved would be more important than their technical ability as an engineer.
I thought I should just chalk that up to having unrealistic expectations cos of my exposure to various upstream projects, but if you're looking for someone that's managing engineers working with those projects, it doesn't seem all that unrealistic after all...

@sima Could you explain why they're confused that a kernel maintainer is interviewing people for a management role of kernel engineers? To me that is very similar to having someone with a title like "technical fellow" being on the interview panel for an role managing engineers in their organisation.

If anyone cares about the Canaan k230 being supported in mainline Linux and has time on their hands (which there may very well not be anyone) it could do with some "help". There's a bare-minimum series for it on LKML (https://lore.kernel.org/all/tencent_22BA0425B4DF1CA1713B62E4423C1BFBF809@qq.com/) that just has CPUs and serial ports, which I was going to include as 6.11 material but after some discussion came to the conclusion that it should really be fleshed out more w/ clocks/resets/pinctrl before acceptance.
Lot's of the peripherals are dw, so there's already drivers for things like spi/i2c in the kernel for those, so getting something more complete once clock etc drivers exist shouldn't be too hard...

@elly 4) can you even trust the base64 decode from an LLM, when it can demonstrated to fail at simple maths?
3) my company has some internal instance of chatgippity for people to use. I've not used it myself, but I've seen it severely wasted time of juniors that should've just asked a real person. Instead of an X-Y problem, there's an X-AI problem where you might end up debugging why the LLM provided solution didn't work!

I bought Diablo 4 to play this past weekend, knowing all the "D4 bad" memes, thinking that I'd at least have fun with the campaign even if endgame wasn't worth playing.
Turns out the game's moment to moment combat is frustrating and not fun :)

I love what @XOrgFoundation does with sharing so many blog posts from folks involved with displays.

mattdm@hachyderm.ioRed Hat is hiring a kernel engineer for RISC-V enablement and support. This will be highly Fedora-focused work.
Note that the job is out of the Waterford, Ireland office.
PS: if seriously interested, and if we're at least acquainted, contact me _before_ applying and I'll send you a referral link!
