That ChatGPT suicide lawsuit.. yikes. Generative AI providers have gotta get out of this notion that chatbots should be friendly councillors.

Total respect for Alyssa Anne Rosenzweig, @lina@vt.social and all the other developers from Asahi Linux for reverse engineering Apples M1 GPU architecture to the point where they surpassed Apple by providing Vulkan support.
That is so unbelievable outstanding!
No one else of all those other senior developers in the whole wide world didn't even bother to try. Meanwhile someone born 2001 (like Alyssa) did – I think the others are mostly in the same age range.
I can only repeat, this is outstanding!
Congratulations and thank you all for your incredible work!!

Hungarian #FolktaleMoment of the day:

You know the folktales where fairy maidens are taking a bath, and the "hero" steals the dress of one of them to force her to be his wife?
(Also in Selkie stories)

Well I just read a Hungarian folktale where the guy steals the dress - at which point the fairy walks up to him, slaps him across the face, and takes the dress back.

Pop off, queen.

Formal verification is a process for reducing programmers' confidence in their ability to write correct code.

I've been working on improving a few of Git's man pages and I could use a few more test readers to read the existing documentation and identify what's confusing about it! Here's the signup form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdYd9FrjiBg8IbJXk-51p7zewt7aiVOamUImnpb90hK29w3Qg/viewform

I'd especially love test readers who use Git on the command line but aren't 100% comfortable with it.

The new NetScaler CVEs for the EITW 0days are published. No, not those ones. No, not those ones either. These are new ones. Yes, newer than those new ones you're thinking of.

I've updated the first chapter of linux-insides on the Linux kernel booting process to reflect modern 6.16+ kernels - https://github.com/0xAX/linux-insides/blob/master/Booting/linux-bootstrap-1.md

The thing I like about writing blogposts is that I need to verify everything I say, so I usually find a few small errors and learn a couple of new things in the process. A lot of work but a very good learning exercise.

#USB keyboards can't interrupt the CPU themselves, but the USB controller continuously polls them and will interrupt it on their behalf. Loudly.
