Linus Torvalds says AI has made 'huge' Linux kernel updates the new normal
(www.theregister.com)
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
I mean it's good and bad, basically AI is finding a bunch of serious zero days... which is causing a lot of updates to need to be happening now, and that is kind of open source philosophy of security by obscurity isn't the goal.
According to Torvals/TFA:
If it's anything like Claude on our codebase then:
LOL. Speak of the devil, some slop coder just opened a massive PR on our codebase with gems like:
Uh... yes? Do you not know how pointers work? That's the point? You want to be able to run
runHandler(nil)? That doesn't make any sense. That's clearly a mistake and we should loudly fail.Uhh... yes? That's the whole point of OptionsWrapper. To hide stuff otherOpts. It's a wrapper.
This type of clanker output is why another slop coder opened a PR on one of our repos, angry because he said Claude said that one of our functions was deceptive. Claude said the description and docstring was misleading and we should change it.
Our function was called
RunNoWait()and, hold on, you may be surprised by this, Claude was, what this function does is run something... and then it.... does... NOT wait. wtf. I know. Shocking. Misleading, deceptive name. Claude wrote some big manifesto about why the docs were misleading and rewrote the function to add a wait. 🤣The dude backed down eventually, but he insisted we add more paragraphs of clarification to the function docs...
Whatever. Let the slop flow..... I give up.
Run... No! Wait.
Yeah runAsync is what I'd call it, runnowait is kind of ambiguous IMO. Or just make a comment...
