Code will soon have ANTITODO notes which request that AI not do the stupid thing it keeps trying to do like an idiot on repeat who can’t learn. Wait, why are replacing things that learn with things that can’t?

    I've seen where Torvalds said that he considers them as just another tool in the Arsenal, he doesn't really care, if the code is good.

    He doesn't want his time to be wasted  He'll scream and shout if an LLM creates that time pit

    These following words an extreme version of me would say

    It looks like you will have to stop using Linux. Since from your perspective anything that uses remotely an LLM is bad, you will have to stop, otherwise you will contribute to the environment being destroyed willingly and actively

    In practice that is impossible. If you drive a modern car it has the Linux kernel. If you have a smart TV or more you're also using the tainted kernel. Even if you have a stick which also streams or a camera you will have a Linux kernel in many cases.

    These LLMs are an infection of the planet's  code base

    Since you're already using BSD a solution would be to cut using Linux on your computers drastically

      These are some of the great textbooks to teach to undies:

      • V6, Lions
      • SVR2, Bach
      • MINIX3, Tanenbaum
      • Xinu, Comer
      • xv6 (V6 clone), Cox

      But there is a space to create an even smaller, sleeker, simpler, study OS:

      • Barebones 32-bit OS that runs on a cheap Cortex-M3 board (STM32 Blue Pill) or RISC-V board (ESP32-C6)
      • Keep the code under 10k lines of C (or Ada, Rust, Zig, ...)
      • Support only UNIX-like soft-realtime scheduling (no RTOS)
      • Support user and kernel modes
      • Multiplex the single-core CPU to multiple processes
      • Map a handful of interrupts to signals
      • Provide a subset of the POSIX API, just enough to run a simple I/O executable (button pushy/LED blinky) in multiple processes, simultaneously
      • Single-user (root only) operation
      • No security, accounting, etc.
      • Shell on a terminal emulator, via a USB-TTL adapter

      The goal is to create a smallest, simplest, bona fide OS for the cheapest ($0.99) hardware, so as to steer kids away from Scratch, MicroPython, Processing, and similar other harmful influences, during the early phase of their system education.

      To make explicit the implicit premise above, the marvellous Arduino teaches the kids to do the easy thing repeatedly, but a comparative-joke C64 forces the kids to do the right thing persistently.

      It is infeasible to teach, in detail, the essentials of an OS (scheduling algorithms, process management, memory management, memory protection, authentication, authorisation, encryption, disc I/O, network I/O, graphics I/O, ...) in just one semester.

      In contrast, the kids could master the above mentioned focused curriculum in just one semester, thereby gaining much confidence in system .

        Point me please, to projects which are heavily dependent on LLM code generation which are older than 10 years.

        The Linux distributions I use,  have no code which is 100% LLM generated

            React-like syntax with WebComponents.

            ​After spending some time with Lit, I really appreciated its lightweight footprint but wasn't a fan of the class-based components. While Vue offers a great approach, I still prefer the intuitive nature of React's syntax for debugging and deterministic rendering. This led me to a challenge: could I build a UI framework using WebComponents that completely eliminates the need for transpilation?

            ​I have written a breakdown of the concept, the architecture, and where I want to take it. I highly invite you to take a look, check out the code, and explore the live demo.

            * How it works: positive-intentions.com/docs/p
            * Checkout the code: github.com/positive-intentions
            * Storybook demo: dim.positive-intentions.com

            ​Please note, while the project is open-source, this is a personal exploration rather than an attempt to launch "yet another framework." It is not production-ready and is built for my own upcoming project migrations, but I am sharing it in hopes that the methodology is educational or interesting to the community.

            ​I would love to hear your thoughts on this approach. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or want to discuss the implementation details.

              "I had the pleasure of serving as the summer instructor for 15-150, the introduction functional programming class for computer science students at Carnegie Mellon, in the Summer 2023 semester.

              This course typically serves as the second or third course in the traditional computer science undergraduate sequence, a privilege which not many other universities get to enjoy, as functional programming is often considered a niche topic.

              Despite this, I (and CMU) believe this to be of the utmost importance. A disciplined, type-oriented, safety-first view of programming can be of utmost benefit to burgeoning computer science scholars, and I have often heard feedback from students that it is has a transformative view on their perspective of computer science in general.

              To that end, I have made my lecture materials from my iteration of the course available for free on the Internet. Please feel free to use this knowledge in any way that you see fit, and I hope that it aids you in your future endeavors."
