I was gonna say, no way their memory estimate is anywhere near real world for some of those. This feels quite useless because “using the apps will blow past the floor” is some real “draw the rest of the owl”.

Especially since they said this was inspired by beginners not knowing what they can actually run on what, this is gonna get them way underestimating what they need

It was a whole thing back and forth that Linus finally ruled on. It’s supposed to be under the purview of a specific human ultimately but as we’ve seen with countless other projects people get lazy fast with LLMs and testing and review does slip. I trust Linux overall to be better than many other projects yes, but to state AI is not doing development too when it’s very much allowed and discussed is blind to what’s been happening in the project.

The same way Windows is “fixing bugs” with AI? Large volumes of dubiously tested code is never a good idea

Normalized here means inflation adjusted. They’re saying RAM hasn’t been this expensive in a very long time

To the average person (and this includes politicians, basically anyone not a software engineer developing the tools )who Cory generally writes to try and inform, they are the same.

Really appreciate the Gimli meme usage

I’ve always heard Ducky is the go to entry keeb. I’m running one and so far pretty happy with it. Nothing fancy, just a full mechanical keyboard

Most teachers I’ve seen already do and are terrified of what they’re seeing it do to their students
