How to Use AI for Linux Kernel Development

This is about using AI for Linux kernel development, though most tips can apply elsewhere.

I know, I know. AI is quite polarizing in today’s world, to say the least. I will be addressing ethics later. But for now, let’s focus on the tech.

AI is useful because it prototypes fast, multitasks well, and gives you something to work off of instead of making you start from zero. Do I think it replaces...

Another is that once the context window resets, it often loses the information it was working from.

But the economy does not usually care about the distant future as much as the now.

I like that you do discuss the ethics in your article, shame you it came across as "not a problem now" in your post

@psud @psud thanks for reading! :)

there are aspects of ai that definitely needs to be systematically addressed (eg from the blog: warfare). im unsure how & why it came across as “not a problem now”

It's just the way it was cut, in the context of the article "that's for later" just means later in the article, cut from the article it looks like something you're not going to cover

I'm not sure how you avoid it other than rewriting the lede to only talk about the main point.

@psud ohhh gotcha yeah, that’s something i noticed too reading the comments

i was hoping that it would be a good hook to get people to read the article, but seems to have caused a knee jerk reaction instead. i wouldve posted the entire article here, but unfortunately on mastodon im limited to 500 chars :(

i might have to rethink how i present my hooks in the future. regardless, thanks again for reading and giving ur thoughts! :)
