📰 The Linux kernel now allows AI-written code, but you're on the hook for it In a world where AI code is entrenched within people's workflows, developers of all walks of life have had to draw a line somewhere. Some places will outright ban AI code, while others will fully embrace it, and each side has its advantages and disadvantages. Well, it turns out that the world of Linux has finally agreed upon where AI code fits within kernel development. Turns out, it's totally fine if you submit AI-generated code to the kernel;... 🔗 Source: https://www.xda-developers.com/linux-kernel-now-allows-ai-written-code/ #kernel#linux

📰After one of its choppiest preview cycles in years, Linux 7.0 is almost ready Linux 7.0's kernel hasn't had the best of release candidate phases. From the get-go, the release candidates showed more commit activity than usual, which sounds like it should be a good thing, but it really isn't. The release candidates aren't where new features get added; it's where features that have been added undergo testing. Therefore, the more activity a build has, the buggier it is. 🔗 Source: https://www.xda-developers.com/after-one-of-its-choppiest-preview-cycles-in-years-linux-70-is-almost-ready/ #kernel#linux
