Linus: "I don't want to be part of the hype"

Last sane person in the tech industry.

"let's wait".

As a programmer that started in 1986 and went to the Tattered Cover Book Store in Denver in 1993 to buy Linux in a book, hearing him say "let's wait" is very good advice.

Don't be so quick to adopt new things in software. Most are just fads.

It's so interesting that great projects like Linux came from the dissatisfaction of one developer. So believe in your own needs, it often means there are enough people who have the same needs.

bro, the editing... don't repeat the clips in a 10 minute video please.

Thats the guy i'd love as a leader, down to earth, not sleeping with his investors.

And Crypto was followed by Metaverse/VR. Facebook even changed their name to Meta. There’s always some tech hype going on to lure investors money. They don’t seem to afford to not jump early into each bandwagon.

1:01 he deserved more laughs for that, including from the host. That was very well-timed 😆

I was looking for midi files to listen to (this is what I used to listen to before MP3s) and was surprised to find some sites with web rings that still function. It brought me back and made me think about using the web then and using the web now. Exploring the net-scape using web rings and link boards is like taking a relaxing and refreshing walk near a gentle stream. Not long after my search for midi files, I had to return to googling for something more urgent, and I realized that modern web usage is not exploratory at all; it's more like hailing a cab in the very busy downtown of a large super urban city. Definitely we need the urgent method sometimes, but I wonder if we do not overrely on it.

At 8:10, "beautiful science" in results in "beautiful science" out. That's B.S. and it's what you get when you use poor data to train a machine learning model. However, we are getting to a point where we can "generate" data to do training. However, the hard things for people to do are not always easy to train a model to do. This is what Linus was talking about when he said he wanted AI to help him. But that is problematic.

A little earlier (at about 7:10) Linus Torvalds mentions the very complex tools used to modify kernel source code. Being able to do this with "AI" would be very useful he says, but I'm guessing it is one of the further-down-the-line places we are going to get.

When refactoring/modifying code to do complex things like change the size of a data structure that is accessed directly in assembly language, or low-level C, fixing the offsets and finding all the references to the code can be tricky. Writing algorithmic code (as opposed to a data-driven machine learning model) is exceedingly complex, so I'm guessing it will happen much later.

One of the things we ARE seeing is machine learning models that learn by trying. Google has some robots that play soccer and someone else has a robot that sutures wounds. These can learn by trying. Learning how to fix problems like Linus is talking about is very hard to set up. Perhaps this is a good research project for someone.

I wanted to see a meme of Linus waving at the camera and saying “Nvidia, thank you!” 😂

"Beautiful Science is what he meant." 🤣

He's right..

The best play especially to programmers is to only use the AI for specific syntax searches and NOT to fill out or have it write lines of code for you. You won't be a great programmer by doing that sort of thing.

I'm reminded of auto-correct... think of how many words you cannot spell because of it.
