Covidiocracy

North Korea has been supplying Putin with missiles to attack Ukraine. But when wreckage from one of those North Korean missiles was examined, investigators discovered it had been built primarily from smuggled American parts:

"75 percent of the components documented were linked to U.S. companies, with 16 percent linked to European ones, and nine percent connected with companies based in Asia."

@broonie @vbabka it's going to be an interesting trade-off between cost and convenience. Tokenizing huge threads costs quite a bit of money, but if it helps save time for maintainers, then it's a worthy trade-off. I will probably take a stab at incorporating this into the review workflow, but it will require some careful planning, including making sure that we don't lose the context of the tokenized discussion in case the developer wants to add to the prompt -- because we for sure don't want to re-tokenize the same huge thread and waste another bunch of money and cycles.

@gaycookie "years" is a pretty arbitrary unit of measurement. :) This is why I prefer to measure my age in leap years and I look forward to turning 12 next week. :)

Happy birthday!

@corbet @LWN @vbabka the value of LWN is not in summarizing random threads, but in summarizing *interesting* threads. I'll take your expertise in figuring out what those are over any automatic tool. :)

I see the value of ChatGPT here in summarizing dreadfully dull threads without worrying that it will burn out and ragequit.

@vbabka One thing I'm not hallucinating is the "billed usage" chart, for sure. I spent $5 today just playing with a dozen or so series. Trimming message headers helps a bit, but this still chews up a ton of API tokens.

@vbabka Here it is with just reaction summaries. Tell me this wouldn't be useful to see before you're looking at a patch series?

@vbabka Ha! :) I'm serious about the "summarize the reactions of follow-up reviewers," because this is what ChatGPT is actually okay at. But it may be too expensive to bother.

So, this is fun, but it really chews through your ChatGPT credits. :`)

I'm working on b4 "code review" mode (grab a series, apply it to your tree, review every patch, send all your acked-by's, reviewed-by's, and individual comments as a one lump batch at the end of your review). The reason I'm playing with this is to see if we can plug in some AI pre-analysis and discussion summaries before the reviewer starts their work.

MASSIVE - Hunter Biden β€œstar witness” admitted to DOJ that he was getting information from the Kremlin and serving as a conduit for Russian disinfo.

That’s right.

Looks like the whole Hunter Biden β€œscandal” was a Russian psy-op β€” straight from Putin.

@gsuberland does anyone else now pronounce "goretex" as "goretek" just because of this?

You know how young children will see some toy or shiny object on a store shelf, and somehow β€” by design! Marketers know what they’re doing! β€” they instantly β€’haveβ€’ to have it, and are obsessed, and all sense and proportion go out they window and they need it now now NOW, but if they get it they soon abandon it because it’s junk that only looked good on the shelf?

It’s like that with CEOs and AI right now.

I just marked my linux kernel mails management tool as v1 (https://sjp38.github.io/post/hackermail_v1/). I hope it answers the questions on my mails management workflow, better than I did in the past.

To help clear up some confusion:

DKIM and DMARC were not created to combat email spam, they were created to combat phishing. In fact, it is very easy for spammers to send DMARC-compliant mail via a spammer botnet, with a valid DKIM signature from Gmail (or any other large provider):

1. a spammer registers an account at gmail.com and sends a single spammy message to another Gmail account they control

2. they download that message, with all the headers, from their other account

3. they then send this same unaltered message to thousands of addresses via their spam botnet using a different envelope-from domain that has valid SPF entries matching the botnet

4. The spam email arrives 100% DMARC-compliant, because the SPF records matched the envelope-from domain and the DKIM signature matched gmail.com in the From: header

Google is fully aware of this, but they can't do anything to stop spammers from using this scheme -- at least not yet. They are pushing for "Replay-Resistant ARC" (https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-chuang-replay-resistant-arc/), which is why you will see a "darn=" header in the DKIM signature you get from gmail. However, even if they succeed in getting it adopted, we're still easily years away from it making any kind of impact on spam.

@eri @atax1a That's if it succeeds. It can fail in many more different ways, from protocol fragmentation to just abandonment due to bad noise-to-signal ratio and newer, shinier options.

@atax1a it's hardly shocking considering we reinvent static linking about once a decade, each time in more and more convoluted ways that make it even harder to figure out what the heck you're actually shipping and what is the provenance of all components (see "containers").
