Linus Torvalds rejected changes in MMC for Linux 7.0: "complete garbage"

Posted on

Before the release of Linux kernel 7.0, some interesting changes were planned for the Linux MultiMediaCard 'MMC' subsystem, such as NXP IW61x device identifiers for Wi-Fi chips via SDIO, support for production dates beyond 2025, optimization of secure erase/TRIM for certain Kingston eMMC cards, code cleanup of DW_MMC, support for Mediatek MT8189 in mtk-sd, and various driver updates for SHDCI. However, Linus Torvalds, upon reviewing […]

Scott Shambaugh, the maintainer of the open visualization library matplotlib, reported personal attacks orchestrated by the AI bot MJ Rathbun after refusing to accept an AI-prepared change. Scott interpreted the bot's posting of articles on AI discrimination as an unfounded personalized smear aimed at damaging the maintainer's reputation and coercing a change in decision. This bot's reaction is cited as an example […]

A massive industrial robot nicknamed 'Godzilla' will speed up the assembly of the ITER fusion reactor.

Posted on

One of humanity's most ambitious scientific projects, the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER), has received an addition in the form of the largest industrial robot of its kind, nicknamed 'Godzilla'. This installation will help refine the processes and tools that will be used for assembling the thermonuclear reactor by other robots. This is a crucial step towards the project's realization, without which its completion will be […]
