From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I do find it amusing that “AI Bros” seems to have very little literacy of how the instruct LLM tools actually work, even at the executive level of companies. It reflects the sort of “confident ignorance” you see with being unable to look up documentation and such.
I find this frustrating because I consider myself a local LLM tinkerer and find it… Isolating. I love the problem solving loop and hammering gritty details out to coax decent tokens out quickly, or getting it to use documentation/forced syntax effectively, or assembling a bizzare dataset for some weird style or dialect, and that’s like antithetical to the culture.
I guess what I’m saying is there are problem solvers who use LLMs. Maybe they’re pink elephants.
