I asked claude 4.5 : """ Please, with an absolute minimum of content modification, edit this text with proper paragraph-formatting, spelling, punctuation and grammar. Do not alter vocabulary, language, or tone. """

And then fed it your input.

And the output was a very easily readable, enjoyable plain-ascii-text, with no Ai-ick, except for an em-dash or two.

Tried pasting it here, but that removed paragraph formatting

Next year will be the year of Hurd on the desktop, I am sure of it.

You mean 1337 right? You are almost there, just need 20 more.

New comment by voxelghost in "Why is it all in the kernel?"

voxelghost — Wed, 05 Aug 2026 06:53:53 +0000

I mean it's an old term in algebra/analytics that predates sytem-kernels by 50 years or so. And even in the meaning compute/solver/gpu-kernel, even thuough predated by systems kernel, it has still been in use at least 30 years.

So proof kernel is not that far fetched, I think. I only skimmed the article though ... so not saying if it was good use here or not.

Since the log trend seemingly started before the age of LLMs papers - cant we just innocently hope that this reflects increasing popularity of prepublishing on arxivx?

Now, your dogs may very well be smarter than mine. But here's how I imagine a convo with my dogs would go.

- Let's go see what's on the other side of this door, friend, maybe there's food !!

Ok, friend, here you go. - opens door.

- Wow super cool, now let's go see what's on the other side of this door, friend, maybe there's food !!

You made that up, no one's ever heard of such a thing.

The globe is cool, but I find it unsettling that Japan is missing.

Regarding compilecommands.json ... I assume you intened crow packages to be portable, how would one specify macos , linux, windows compile command separatly?

Most libraries build with cmake, make etc, how does this interact?

In Sweden,the Employment Protection Act, (LAS ) mandates 'last in - first out', meaning if there are layoffs due to over-capacity, people with seniority (years of employment) take priority for available positions. This is kind of partioned by profession-group, so yes you can fire nurses but keep doctors, or other way around. (Its been a while since I looked into it, but thats the rough gist of it)

Thats a wonderful explanation (and roughly the conclussion I arrived at after browsing the paper), I just wish it would have been in the original post.

After a quick content browse, my understanding is this is more like with a very compressed diff vector, applied to a multi billion parameter model, the models could be 'retrained' to reason (score) better on a specific topic , e.g. math was used in the paper

I think it will be even worse. Like, "Im having terrible pollen allergies - what can I do?"

Response will be very scientific sounding version of; You need some brand XYZ anithistamin , it will give the best effects, and the others you should only try if you low-key are looking to die.
