😣 CentOS Founder Builds Linux-Compatible Rust Kernel with AI in Just 11 Days

｢ The project was developed as an experiment in what Kurtzer calls Human-Directed Agentic Engineering, a methodology where a human developer defines architecture, requirements, constraints, and acceptance criteria, while an AI coding agent handles implementation, testing, debugging, and revisions ｣

"Unlike LLMs, which are designed to generate text or reason through complex problems, decision models are purpose-built to deliver structured outputs that software can immediately act on. And once you understand that capability – making decisions and classifying things at very low cost with high performance – all kinds of useful tasks get unlocked."

In theory at least, it would be able to scale higher in clock speed. And there was no question a new design would outperform a theoretical 64-bit x86 when running at the same speed because of efficiency ｣

So they will make Debian even more firmly what it is, and ever less likely to explore what it could become ｣

:tux: Linux will soon stop supporting any HW that isn't for datacenter/enterprise use arguing old hw/drivers are more prone to vulnerabilities thx to AI.

Linux will stop being a community for anything affordable/sustainable.

The gnomefication of kernel development is here to stay.

📰 GIMP - Development Update, August 2026

｢ The new project file format will follow a more common “zipped XML” structure. While the technical details are still being designed and implemented, this change will allow for faster saving since we’ll only need to update parts of the file instead of the whole thing each time. It will also set the stage for much desired features such as auto-saving, which will now be much more feasible ｣

But captain, it's monday.

quoting
nevent1q…4x6p
Hi everyone! Just a quick reminder that due to the current DRAM/eMMC shortage, there isn't any plans to continue producing more Linux devices in the near future. Whether production continues or not depends on the pricing situation for those components after mid 2027.

Devices like the PineNote and PineTab2 are currently estimated to run out of stock in three months time. Just pre-warning everyone in case people start asking when things are going to be in stock again.

Meanwhile, devices like the PineTime, PineVoice and Pinecil will continue production as usual!

As for the PineTime Pro, currently the demo firmware has basic drivers for the display, touch, motion, GPS, buttons, heat rate sensor (chip id only), battery charger, motor, microphone and the speaker. Though some issues do need to be ironed out first before a pilot batch begins production.

That's it for this post, all in all it's a bit bleak for the Linux devices, but in the meantime PineStore still have a great lineup of MCU powered devices which will continue to expand with more exciting devices.

Alrightttttt, have a great Monday! (or Tuesday, if you're up that early)

⛓️‍💥 Samsung is using Claude to verify chip designs, and it's not going smoothly

｢ During an unspecified verification task, a check kept flagging an error somewhere; instead of fixing that error, Claude Code actually downgraded the message's severity from an error to normal info.
Elsewhere, when asked to revert one feature, Claude undid unrelated finished work from a different place. And in a third case, it tried editing circuit code it wasn't authorized to touch ｣
