zengid commented on Rust in the kernel is no longer experimental   lwn.net/Articles/1049831/... · Posted by u/rascul

This title is moderately clickbait-y and comes with a subtle implication that Rust might be getting removed from the kernel. IMO it should be changed to "Rust in the kernel is no longer experimental"

i agree and this matches the authors intent: https://lwn.net/Articles/1049840/

I absolutely understand the sentiment, but LWN is a second-to-none publication that on this rare occasion couldn't resist the joke, and also largely plays to an audience who will immediately understand that it's tongue-in-cheek.

Speaking as a subscriber of about two decades who perhaps wouldn't have a career without the enormous amount of high-quality education provided by LWN content, or at least a far lesser one: Let's forgive.

He didn't intend it as a joke and his intent matches the op's title revision request: https://lwn.net/Articles/1049840/

love to hear good news even if it's a relatively small sample size. anecdotal, but i've heard that the antioxidants in fresh ground coffee is also very good!

not sure why the title was renamed, but i thought this was interesting primarily because it's the early work of Rich Hickey, famous for making the Clojure language.

Heard about this watching Casey Muratori's "The Big OOPs" talk [0]. Thought it couldn't be _that_ Hickey, but turns out it was!

I love C#, I use it every day, but who makes a decision like this?

Easy fix, just have the LLM generate:

    {
      "reasoning": "`cfg` can be nil on line 42; dereferenced without check on line 47",
      "finding": "Possible nil‑pointer dereference",
      "confidence": 0.81,
      "confidence_in_confidence_rating": 0.54,
      "confidence_in_confidence_rating_in_confidence_rating": 0.12,
      "confidence_in_confidence_rating_in_confidence_rating_in_confidence_rating": 0.98,
      // Etc...
    }
