Linux Kernel to Deprecate AppleTalk Protocol, Citing AI-Generated Patches
C'est la fin d'une époque. Le noyau Linux, le cœur du système qui pilote le matériel et les communications, s'apprête à supprimer le support d'AppleTalk, ce vieux protocole réseau qu'Apple utilisait dans les années 80 et 90 pour faire dialoguer ses Mac entre eux avant que TCP/IP, le langage commun d'internet, ne s'impose partout. À l'époque, c'était plutôt malin: vous branchiez deux machines et une imprimante, et elles se trouvaient toutes seules, sans la moindre configuratio
The Linux kernel is set to remove support for AppleTalk, an obsolete network protocol used by Apple in the 1980s and 1990s. This decision comes after a surge of AI-generated patches for the protocol, which developers found to be unproductive and time-consuming to review. Jakub Kicinski, who oversees the kernel's network stack, opted to remove AppleTalk entirely rather than have his team process numerous unsolicited AI-generated fixes for a defunct technology. This move, dubbed the "LLM-pocalypse," follows the removal of other legacy protocols like ARCnet and ISDN in previous kernel versions. While AppleTalk support is being removed from the main kernel, its code will be archived for historical purposes. The situation highlights the challenges of managing AI-generated contributions in open-source projects.
Linux is removing support for the outdated AppleTalk protocol, partly due to an influx of unproductive AI-generated patches, highlighting challenges in managing AI contributions.
