HN fails to see the intersectionality between corpo power complex politics and marshalling LUTs in firmware space. Shame, but that's life. Rob's point is bang on albeit from a technical stance. This is also ultimately why Rob failed, but with a deep groaning sigh and not a bequeathed resignation (a true nerd is at the end of the day only known by their yawp). Power junkies will try to convince you otherwise because they benefit from it. But you have to live to believe it. The life of a kernel driver maintainer of something that a large corpo entity is financially vested in is one of a diplomat saint. Newly minted VP wants to leave a mark and be goody two shoes. Good luck. The news you hear on the internet are superficial because the map is not the territory.

I’ve known a couple of people to write in this style and I still like it! Antonio had a bit of this style in ~2009, Ribbon Farm’s contributors have been throwing stuff like this off for at least a decade now, and Nikhil Suresh (The Rightful Emperor of Mecatol Rex, natch) is maybe the most anti-biotic resistant evolved form of SARS-COV-FSCK-TEH-MAN to emerge recently.

Of course it could be a modern GPT with a context longer than my dick stuffed more full of better men than my ex-wife, so maybe I’m taking to a bot, but if it gets me a Jumbotron with Ana de Armas asking if I like real girls I’m still happy to talk to a machine.
