  • I was thinking the same thing about a video I just watched covering Linus ranting to someone who asked a question on the mailing list about big endian support on risc5.

    Basically some guy asked in a single sentence if there was a chance for support and Linus and everyone else wrote essays about how dumb it would be, and I’m wondering why bother reporting on such a niche and completely arbitrary tirade about experimental CPU architecture.

    That said it did include Linus writing a long list of similar examples of hardware choices that he finds offensive that was entertaining, and that’s probably why people report every time he rants about stuff; he puts a lot of effort into his opinions and it give people a lot to chew on if they are interested in those topics.










  • That’s probably good for Google’s Adsense, they will sell advertiser’s a place in the AI summary source list, or only include info from those paid sources. It’s like the normal ad results, but without the giant “don’t even bother clicking me” label.

    Idk what to think of the low interaction with the AI source links, I can’t imagine just reading the summary and believing it without skimming the sources.
