Same. But if I was working for an organization that measured token usage, you can bet I would be doing things like creating a cron job that uses claude to create a customized bespoke report update of the current status of all my open assigned tickets and message that to myself 4 times a day... token burn for zero purpose whatsoever.

Microkernels, unikernals, hardware-enforced capabilities are all technical approaches to limit the attack surface area and blast radius of bugs. They seen to have had limited penetrate the current Linux-based VM / Container / VPC provider stacks a lot of us (most of us?) are using for production environments. The huge Linux ecosystem it's probably more of a driving factor than overall performance at this point, the Linux performance compared to systems that use these approaches was a driver in the past.

If the pace of advancement in using LLMs and coding agents to find and exploit bugs continues, do you think that Linux will need to adapt the approaches it uses to be able to limit the impact of bugs in drivers and other ancillary code? Do you think that alternative approaches like Unikernals will be a beneficiary of the advancement instead? Or do you think Linux just has too much developer manpower and ecosystem strength that is will mostly just adapt through the "rough patch" but remain mostly unchanged structurally afterwards?

Interested, hear what other people think could be a reasonable response if LLMs continue to get better at finding and exploiting software bugs.

Is it really just that Anthropic now owns bun and zig is "anti-LLM" for contributions? Was there more justification given elsewhere?

You can clearly see this in the shot of the Mini mobo: CPU/GPU ASIC with 2 separate ram chips packaged next to them: https://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Mac-mini...

France certainly has a higher % of expenditure to GDP than other comparable countries, and you would expect the USA health care to GDP % to decline to be more inline with other countries with universal coverage if a national program was introduced.

However, because France is still offering more public social services and benefits overall vs. a "USA + universal health" that it's hard to make broad claims either way about who is wasting more money or which system is more effective for citizens based purely on % of government expenditure to total GDP.
