lina@vt.socialI regretfully completely understand Wedson's frustrations.

A subset of C kernel developers just seem determined to make the lives of the Rust maintainers as difficult as possible. They don't see Rust as having value and would rather it just goes away.
When I tried to upstream the DRM abstractions last year, that all was blocked on basic support for the concept of a "Device" in Rust. Even just a stub wrapper for struct device would be enough.
That simple concept only recently finally got merged, over one year later.
When I wrote the DRM scheduler abstractions, I ran into many memory safety issues caused by bad design of the underlying C code. The lifetime requirements were undocumented and boiled down to "design your driver like amdgpu to make it work, or else".
My driver is not like amdgpu, it fundamentally can't work the same way. When I tried to upstream minor fixes to the C code to make the behavior more robust and the lifetime requirements sensible, the maintainer blocked it and said I should just do "what other drivers do".
Even when I pointed out that other C drivers also triggered the same bugs because the API is just bad and unintuitive and there are many secret hidden lifetime requirements, he wouldn't budge.
One C driver works, so Rust drivers must work the same way.

years of trying removing “bad bias” from LLMs and you can still get them to generate unwanted content if you phrase it differently enough.

it's like I'm often so eager for a reason to be changed
asking, gentle requests, suggestions,
"won't you be a badger? surely you'll like being a badger~"
"here, look at this cutie, aren't they nice?"
"just really into dragons lately, fluffy or scaly, who wouldn't love being a dragon"
or someone I know well takes it a bit further,
"miette. you're a red panda."
"tell me what's on your mind, maybe something fun will happen~"
or out of nowhere there's just like a mention of otters and mrfgh 🧡

linguistic hypothesis: language exists so that we can make silly little sounds and other purposes have just been bolted onto it and corrupt the concept

extremely weak saphir-whorf hypothesis: Utterances are used to convey meaning
very weak saphir-whorf hypothesis: The language influences the way we talk about about things
weak saphir-whorf hypothesis: The language influences the way you think about things
strong saphir-whorf hypothesis: The language causes you to think differently
very strong saphir-whorf hypothesis: Your thoughts are limited to those expressible within a language
extremely strong saphir-whorf hypothesis: Things that cannot be expressed in your language cannot exist

for all the talk about rust language toxicity, no kernel C maintainer has resigned because of toxicity from the rust crowd
