in my previous workplace we had an emergency contact form we had to fill out during testing. they had an optional text field to elaborate on your condition. i would usually report something like
trapped under an iron girder, but otherwise okay

well, the issue as I see it is that - sure, we'll likely see less going forward as people get bored of the new hotness. but linux isn't a stagnant thing - code will continue being written for it, and unfortunately we're all fallible, and despite my prayers this llm shit doesn't seem to be fading - ergo, wondering if the new normal is just...this. hopefully though, you're right, and the amount of buggy code being written is drastically lower than the low-hanging fruit currently being found
Give it time. From what I've gathered, the various AI companies are running out of VC money and they're feeling the pinch. The big three providers have either increased pricing, or they announced they will by June (GitHub copilot, Anthropic).

Whenever big changes happen, there's always a lag time between the changes going into effect and the result becoming widespread.

And the beauty of the kernel not being a stagnant thing is that there's a good possibility that the people working on it will exercise better diligence moving forward. At the very least, the maintainers will probably be more scrutinizing.

Unfortunately, the S stands for SSH ☹️

I mean, ultimately, these are all bugs that already exist in Linux and other software, LLMs didn't create them, as far as I'm aware, so IMO it's better if they get fixed than if they remain there for who knows how many more years.

Also hi ^_^

I suppose on the bright side, I haven't heard of any of the fixes for these bugs causing potential perf hits like what happened with Meltdown, where the mitigation (page table isolation) caused a noticeable increase in syscall overhead on affected systems…
