My thoughts on work, open source and occasional rants about world affairs. When in doubt, turn it inside out. Also on Mastodon: @[email protected]

Sneak peak at a slide from my RCU talk at @KernelRecipes . This "Life cycle of a grace period" block diagram serves as a reference for me too now ;-)

Every single one of the 11 Meta superintelligence hires is an immigrant who did their undergrad abroad. 7 China, 1 India, 1 Australia, 1 UK, 1 South Africa. 8 are PhD or PhD dropouts in the US. Immigration is key to US AI innovation.

A bit late to the party, but I really think #GitLab is a very nice alternative to #GitHub. The user interface feels a lot simpler and intuitive, and the free repository limit of 10GB/repo is 5x that of GitHub. A kernel repo is >2GB with history. Iโll continue to use both though.
Elon's week be like...
I am wondering why #LLM coding benchmarks like #Aider Polyglot reveal the coding problems they are testing on. Doesnโt that give the models an opportunity to be trained on the problems in advance, thus defeating the scoring? aider.chat/2024/12/21/polโฆ github.com/Aider-AI/polygโฆ
It is my honor to be designated as Godfather of the 2025 Kernel Recipes. The conference organizers asked me to help increase the speaking skills of the presenters. This blog series is a first step in that direction: people.kernel.org/paulmck/kernelโฆ
Here's our statement on the results of the 2024 presidential election:

AI video gen is heating up. This is going to disrupt commercial video advertising AFAICT. Multiple ready to use tools now exist: Kling ai, Flair ai, runway ML etc
lwn.net/Articles/99509โฆ OpenSSL adds a number of new encryption algorithms, support for "โdirectly fetched composite signature algorithms such as RSA-SHA2-256โ"
The ourouborous has begun. Wikipedia is an important source of training data for AIs. At least 5% of new Wikipedia articles in August were AI generated (To be clear, this does not mean that AI will fail as it trains on its own data, synthetic data is already a part of training)

Half the country is voting for a climate denying criminal fascist. This is absolutely insane #Harris
No one should ever blindly trust anything coming out of a large language model & IMO avoid using it for anything beyond simple / pattern-matchy tasks: youtu.be/tTG_a0KPJAc?siโฆ AI including new OpenAI models (o1) lack surprisingly by a staggering amount in reasoning, as paper finds

If youโre going to scheme, scheme with the best people in your field!
My main motivation for attending conferences is to get fired up about stuff and meet people. This time for #LPC, I had a lot of fun digging into sched_ext internals with some talented people. As for attending presentations, those are recorded, so I'm not sweating it too much.
Our teachers, nurses, and firefighters should not be paying more in taxes than billionaires. Thatโs why I support a billionaire minimum tax and will ensure corporations pay their fair share.
Looking at trends in the richest people in the world, in 10 years the richest person should hit a trillion USD. Thatโs insane. No one should have that kind of wealth. Thereโs something very wrong with that pictureโฆ and most of the wealthiest are from the United States.
