Just came back last night from winter camping with a bunch of scouts. We ran the usual challenge of building snow shelters and sleeping in them, which was particularly tough as it was -25Β°C overnight. Out of 14 scouts who went out to sleep in the cold, only 4 came in to the heated cabin and 10 others stayed out till morning, which was a new high number. When it was similarly cold two years ago, only 3 scouts out of 15 stayed the night. I like to think it's due to better preparedness and better guidance from us scouters and not just due to better gear. πŸ’ͺ

@jerry and if you're not doing it, your manager wants to have a "quick meeting."

@conor @llvm I didn't care for New Vegas, but then again, I like building settlements and destroying the Institute's technofascist ass, so FO4 is right up my alley.

inspired by CLAUDE.md, I’ve started putting markdown files named after coworkers into work code repos so I can remind them to stop doing shit to the codebase that annoys me

for some reason they’re all mad at me now, which means ill be adding commands to JEREMY.md for an attitude adjustment

@arstechnica Thank god, these are awful in winter. The number of times I had to bang on the door to get that exact handle unstuck! Teslas were obviously designed in California.

My inbox is a disaster. Sorry! I'll try to answer all waiting requests tomorrow.

Because a LOT of people are missing the point:

No, Elon Musk is NOT serious about putting a million data centres into orbit. It can't work: laws of physics say "nope".

But SpaceX is expected to go public this year.

Elon is talking up his company's future prospects in front of gullible investors because he needs a growth narrative beyond Starlink, which is already priced in. Something to justify the Starship proram beyond NASA's lunar ambitions.

So it's salesman's bullshit, lies for fools.

First actual agent-assisted review with "b4 review tui":

Screencast of the whole process, using issues identified by "claude code" and rolling them into the TUI:

(Lots of refinements still needed, but it's doing useful things, at least.)

Trying out the review TUI on arbitrary patches in LKML. ;)

`b4 review tui` reviewing a patch series for b4 itself. Note the displayed comments provided by "Claude Opus 4.5 (CO4)" assisting with the review.

@jani if you are happy with your workflow, then I obviously don't want to interfere with it. However, I'm hoping this will help others, plus it can integrate with agent-assisted reviews (not yet done).

Here's a prototype of "b4 review" with a nicer textual ui. What do you think?

The Prize for Excellence in Open Source … goes to…

Greg Kroah-Hartman, Fellow at the The Foundation!

We could think of no one more deserving of this Award than Greg - who has ensured through maintaining of different kernel subsystems and the Linux kernel stable releases that thousands of devices function seamlessly and securely.

The Prize for Excellence was presented by the European Open Source Academy, @bagder

Managed to work on `b4 review` today. It's almost usable now, just not sure the git-rebase like interface is all that user-friendly.

But it should make it possible to quickly review patch series, send trailers, and even annotate code.
