  1. Wedding Day
    Today is Mathew's and Nicolas wedding day. Starting off with Tracey getting hair done, I've had breakfast of scrambled eggs and black pudding. Mathew and his friends are playing games in the back room before getting ready and I'm filling to pool (water was low). Nana, Aunty A and Liam are over.

    More to come as the day progresses

  4. « Linux creator and longtime lead maintainer Linus Torvalds turned to Anthropic’s Claude Code to tackle a kernel performance problem that developers have struggled with for more than two years. On Tuesday, he submitted a 10-patch series that delivered a 23-fold throughput improvement in a synthetic benchmark running on his Ryzen Threadripper.
    […]
    Reviewers have since identified a race condition and raised concerns about memory reclamation. Torvalds has handed further development to Kiryl Shutsemau, a Linux kernel developer who previously worked on the same bottleneck. »

    "Here's 10 PRs of workslop, someone else go fix it."

    « Torvalds said the assistant wrote the implementation, tests, and initial documentation, and reviewed the code under his direction. »

    So apparently he's already given up on "I'm reviewing all the code".

  5. Right, I've got OpenBSD running acceptably on the ThinkPad. WiFi, sound, suspend and resume, trackpad, RAID.

    Last two minor issues are xenodm ignoring X11 DPI, and the CPU scaling needing to be turned down a bit so the fans don't run all the time.

    Goodbye Linux, and 🖕to Linus.

  25. In physics, curved spacetime is the mathematical model in which, with Einstein's theory of general relativity, gravity naturally arises, as opposed to being described as a fundamental force in Newton's static Euclidean reference frame. Objects move along geodesics—curved paths determined by the local geometry of spacetime—rather than being influenced directly by distant bodies.
