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.

Id like to see Linus explain to me how a LLM works.
He is clearly ARROGANT and STUPID.
"Don't use a compiler then."
Does he not realize a LLM is not a deterministic system for "English to code". I've long be suspicious of his "genius" and this confirms it for me.
A giant gaping asshole riding off the work of the original unix philosophy and system, while spewing putrescence.
He might be a genius in the past. He has always been arrogant. Now he's just stupid and arrogant.
Maybe you're stupid? Because the argument seems pretty fucking clear. Is a compiler deterministic towards the INTENDED functionality? I input instructions in the front and out comes something that produces the EXACT functionality I INTENDED? Because that's the relevant comparison here.
