[deep LTC cut] Who would have guessed that the unwanted task of working on MCP at IBM 20 years ago would finally pay off on the resume!
This is a great interview with @gregkh on corporate involvement in the #Linux kernel and #opensource. He goes in depth on justifying working upstream and how it made him a better engineer.
Really excited for Zim's talk at Embedded Recipes showing off all the cool things Perfetto can do! It's a really useful tool.
I helped with one of the examples, and had seen the slides prior, but even so, I *still* learned some new tricks from watching.

#LLMs are not a knowledge base!
Stop spreading misinformation!
They are statistical models that _simulate_ knowledge!
We, as a #society, really have to pay attention to the words and #language we're using.
But I guess, when talking about LLMs, details are not really important, are they!? Oh, such beautiful irony!
"If all these big companies are shouting from the rooftops that AI is up to production code the money relies on, then zero open source contributions of substance is a glaring absence."
(Original title: If AI is so good at coding … where are the open source contributions?)
@embeddedrecipes has just kicked off!
New organizers are running the show this year — big thanks to BayLibre for picking up the torch and keeping the spirit of Recipes alive: small-scale, sharing, and real exchange.
You can follow the conference live!
The 2025 edition of @embeddedrecipes starts with @gregkh

Long but cheering+ practical from @bert_hubert

"Europe has ample compute capacity and skills.... the carrot won’t be enough to make Europe sovereign again. We must have our own technology under our own control, but we must also make sure that it gets used"
Psst, hey: HACKERS ARE NOT TECH BROS. The vast majority of hackers never become tech bros. The ethics of hacking runs completely counter to that of tech bros.
Hackers make hardware do things they weren’t intended to do. They circumvent barriers. They string together contraptions that repurpose old stuff to do new things. Hackers aren’t that interested in money; they’re more interested in showing off their skills. They love to learn and make demos and create and share free tech that other hackers then build upon. All they want is acknoweledgement and the respect of their peers.
Tech bros are parasites. They’re greedy bastards who love to erect barriers between people and tech. They extract, addict, monetize. They turn everything fun and useful into a transaction, a dopamine trap, a subscription, a surveillance tool, an advertising outlet, and a vector to extract money from labor and suppliers.
Please don’t get them mixed up.
This ordinary Tuesday? Two. Two AI slop security reports arrived to #curl. So far.
