Not sure how this relates to desktop, but from the article it seems that Arm got some nice involvement going:

> Another huge change is Arm officially joining the party. We were not only given access to some documentation, but they also took an active part in the review process and two developers are currently flagged as co-maintainers of the kernel driver. Some would say that this was already the case when Panfrost got merged, but we have strong reasons to believe Arm's involvement is going to grow outside the kernel space this time.


Mali is meant for Android devices and Arm provides official drivers for Android. Arm doesn't provide any drivers for the desktop Linux stack so people are spending years reverse engineering drivers.


Except that it never happened.


Can you please elaborate?


"In an update provided to Aerospace, Hamilton explained that he “misspoke” when telling the story, saying that the ‘rogue AI drone simulation’ was a hypothetical “thought experiment” from outside the military, based on plausible scenarios and likely outcomes rather than an actual USAF real-world simulation.

He said: “We’ve never run that experiment, nor would we need to in order to realize that this is a plausible outcome … Despite this being a hypothetical example, this illustrates the real-world challenges posed by AI-powered capability and is why the Air Force is committed to the ethical development of AI.”"


i also read the word 'simulated', as well


> I am filled with rage just thinking about how we took a fundamental part of the Internet, simple enough that anyone can implement an HTTP server,

Ahahahahahah, yes, anyone can implement a HTTP server, just badly. HTTP/1.1 is quite complex, the spec alone spans over eight RFCs: if you can implement all of that I doubt the HTTP/2 serialization is much of a concern. :P


Right. In my opinion it's even worse. The thing that piss me off about Spock is that ignoring the emotional component is a very illogic thing to do. :)


Important to whom?


Anyone who depends on, or is invested in, the security/stability of the Linux kernel, or cares about such a reputation. Which should include core devs.


Maybe "In previous Rust versions you could already define traits, ..."?



Right, shaming mothers does more damage than anything else, even if breastfeeding was a big deal (and I think it is, sort of).


Doesn't that applies to the kernel, libc, openssl, the X server, desktop environments, and web browsers?


Arguably, if the situation is the one described, I'm not sure what "the best maintainer" is. :(

Changing name and leaving the old project eventually die or be subsumed by the fork (like egcs did with gcc) would have probably been a better choice.


Arguably, SJ-related topics get their share of downvotes too.

But yeah, I agree with you on the fact that HN is mostly an echo chamber. I'm just less sure that we're hearing the same echo. :)
