Linus Torvalds is using AI to develop Linux kernel code now

Linus Torvalds is using AI to develop Linux kernel code now

Published by skeptic

ZDNET’s key takeaways Torvalds just released a set of patches, which were largely written with Anthropic’s Claude Code. These new patches address an unsolved memory cache slowdown problem when using multiple cores and processors. Linus Torvalds had been moving closer to favoring AI, and this was the final step toward embracing it for Linux development. It had to happen. Linus Torvalds announced to the world that he used AI to write code for the Linux kernel. Who’d thought it? Well, me for one. Over the last few years, I’ve seen Torvalds’ attitude change from skeptical to seeing AI as a useful tool for programmers and maintainers.  In his Git submission, he wrote, “The code, the test programs, the review behind the list above and the first draft of this text were done with an LLM coding assistant (Claude Code) under my direction.” Also: ‘I use AI to do the things that I’m bad at’: Linus Torvalds on why it works for him Tackling a shared-memory bottleneck Specifically, the fix addresses contention in Linux’s page cache, …

Lego Promo Code | 20% Off October 2026

Published by skeptic

If there’s anything the WIRED team loves, it’s Lego. Just about everyone has heard of Lego and its block sets. You can use them to build just about anything. It’s great for all ages, a great gift, and even great for date night. My husband and I have gotten Lego Botanical sets for four years in a row for Valentine’s Day to build together. Lego sets are constantly fought over at every White Elephant party I attend, which is why you’ll always find a set recommended in our White Elephant gift guide. We love Legos as a gift so much that we have an entire gift guide dedicated to it. There are even Lego smart bricks that let you add sounds and light effects to your Lego set of choice. If you’re shopping for a specific Lego set ahead of the holiday season, like a Star Wars Lego set or Harry Potter Lego sets (or, if you’re my husband, a specific One Piece Lego set that features an entire ship and all the characters), it …

Anyone with eggs urged to check code as food poisoning warning issued | UK | News

Published by Sam Flores

Check the eggs for a certain code (Image: Ekaterina Goncharova via Getty Images) Anyone with eggs bearing a specific batch code has been advised not to consume them and to dispose of them immediately after Salmonella was detected . Posing a serious risk of food poisoning, common symptoms of Salmonella typically include fever, diarrhoea and stomach cramps. Those experiencing symptoms are urged to remain at home and away from work, school or nursery, until they have been symptom-free for at least 48 hours to prevent the spread of the illness to others. UK households and businesses have been put on alert after the Food Standards Agency (FSA) issued an official food warning. The eggs, originating from Yasensvit Ltd, Ukraine, are stamped with the batch code 3UA1012066. The FSA has called for all affected eggs to be pulled from sale and not eaten. It added: “All eggs with the code 3UA1012066 should be withdrawn from the market and recalled from consumers. These eggs should not be consumed.” Recalled eggs Raw shell-on eggs Product code: 3UA1012066 From: …

VS Code has been letting you write invalid JSON for years, and it’s completely intentional

VS Code has been letting you write invalid JSON for years, and it’s completely intentional

Published by skeptic

My VS Code settings.json file is full of notes to myself. One line explains why autosave waits a moment; another reminds me why the build folders are hidden. After adjusting a handful of VS Code settings that make coding feel lighter, those comments are how I remember why each one exists. Yet hand that file to Python’s built-in JSON parser, and it fails on the very first comment. The difference is intentional. Since version 1.19 in November 2017, VS Code has opened its own config files in a separate mode that allows comments on purpose. Related VS Code finally has a serious rival, and it feels absurdly fast I switched for speed and stayed for everything else. Your settings file quietly breaks JSON’s rules Comments and trailing commas were never part of the standard Screenshot by Yasir Mahmood JSON, short for JavaScript Object Notation, is the plain-text format countless apps and websites use to pass data around. Its official standard, RFC 8259, allows objects, arrays, strings, numbers, true, false, and null. It doesn’t allow comments, …

How I made a paid Mac app in 11 days with Claude – without writing a single line of code

How I made a paid Mac app in 11 days with Claude – without writing a single line of code

Published by skeptic

ZDNET’s key takeaways I shipped a Mac app without writing a single line of code. Vibe coding took 502 directives, not one magic prompt. App Store promo images took almost as long as the app. At around noon on Sunday, Sept. 20, I came up with an idea for a Mac app. One week later, on Sunday, Sept. 27, also around noon, I submitted my completed app to Apple. Four days later, Apple accepted the tool, and it went live on the App Store. Also: AI completely changed how I develop iPhone apps … and I think I love it Icons were good to me When I started my first software company, one of the first products I introduced was Icon Factory for HyperCard. It won several awards. This product supported my company and our employees for years. Those icons were all black and white, as was HyperCard. Also: After the vibe-coding rush comes the debugging hangover In 1997, after years of customer requests for colorful Finder desktop icons, we created a three-volume set of 32×32 …

I wrote 12 lines of code and made my keyboard do things Windows won’t

I wrote 12 lines of code and made my keyboard do things Windows won’t

Published by skeptic

The one thing that Caps Lock has successfully done for me over the years is accidentally turn my perfectly normal sentences into SHOUTING. I almost never use it on purpose, and it’s taking up space on my keyboard. So after years of pretending it served a purpose, I actually made it worth the space. I installed AutoHotkey and used a few lines of code to create shortcuts for specific tasks that the Windows keyboard doesn’t usually do. It made enough of my everyday typing easier that I started wondering why I’d left the key untouched for so long. Caps Lock does something useful now I turned one neglected key into five shortcuts I actually use With the complete script, I gave Caps Lock five new functions: Shortcut What it does Caps + A Toggle Always on Top Caps + T Insert the current timestamp Caps + U Uppercase selected text Caps + L Lowercase selected text Caps + Q Put quotation marks around selected text While it feels efficient to have five new keyboard shortcuts, …
