Yet more meaningless political theatre.
This generates ZERO passed bills, but lots of pre-election rage bait donations.
End-stage Alexis de Tocqueville material.
Anti-AI is rationally and logically incorrect, because it focuses on inputs, rather than outputs.
The Linux kernel has always been focused on outcomes and outputs, which is the right focus. Here's Linus: https://x.com/LundukeJournal/status/2110524360377458786
Outputs: Code quality and long term maintenance matters.
Outputs: Serving users with correctness, security and performance matters.
Focus on "purity of input" is a faith-based political filter, not engineering.
Testing and feedback welcomed, heading in to 1.0 release soon.
Humbly requesting feedback and testing from users and their agents.
Primary question: Continue to implement legacy BASIC audio/video and select PEEK/POKE's, or no?

Rough draft for comment - passes core cpython 3.12 tests with an inspired design.

The next iteration of awk?
Passes 100% of userland tests, supporting 99% of linux syscalls (though very few filesystems!)

Early boot and early page table setup, logging single characters to simulated serial console.
Then keep adding tests/features/tests/features/...
I always wanted a kernel where I can experiment with the device driver model, eBPF, device tree and more. Now I've built one:

Accelerated by Claude Code, leashed tightly by unit and integration tests, and test-driven development.
Speaking as a compiler and kernel expert, the productivity boost for domain experts is real.
Compiler status: Full C99 compliance, test suites pass, alpha-beta stage, starting to test on Gentoo and open source package builds "real world builds"
Posixutils status: Very close to 1.0 (all POSIX utils, all POSIX util features, tests pass)

Love this! I had the same idea, and was pondering funding apps like this. Was going to call it "SimpleFree" and focus on privacy, offline, mobile, games.
