Happy to welcome two new orange mayhems into our home.

(This is Tater. His brother Wesley is roaming somewhere out of reach of the camera.)

@ljs @a1ba @vbabka writing Perl is easy, you just redirect /dev/urandom into a file and lightly edit until it runs. ;)

Fascinating to see the Times slowly trying to come to grips with the way they’ve been played by Moscow.

It takes them seven paragraphs to get to the fact that the allegations against Biden were (passive voice) “made up.”

Not till paragraph twelve does the real protagonist appear: Russian intelligence. It’s a Russian disinformation operation. Let’s see if we can say that out loud. https://masto.ai/@Nonilex/111984017335877297

European Commission

Two years ago, Putin started a full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

Some predicted that it would fall in a matter of days.

Instead, the Ukrainian people have proven the power of fighting for something.

Putin made a mistake because he cannot understand what drives a human spirit when it is free to think and dream.

He cannot understand that if you give people a choice, they choose liberty. 

Ukraine chose to fight for its freedom and a better future.

And Europe will be with you.

@drewdevault 100%. Having to keep a much larger instance just to survive the pubswarm when Linus occasionally posts really speaks volumes about the protocol's inefficiency.

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.

@yura Yes, I look forward to that being in the new release (coming out this weekend, I believe).
