Yann LeCun is 65. It is extremely unlikely his future research contributions will amount to anything close to what he has already done.

There’s a design problem here if the driver can’t be self-contained in such a way that it’s possible to roll back the kernel to a known good state.

A developer is much more likely to be able to fix their computer and/or restore from a backup than a typical user is. A significant problem is cascading failures, where one bozo in…

You want a “dumb sorted list” of every video on YouTube?

That’s not good behavior but I think it’s not really the same phenomenon. That’s more of a coordinated action/tragedy of the commons problem where people want to bury their heads i…
