I don't think it's really about the movies. He always knew his success was temporary and just pumped out movies while he was still getting high paying roles. A lot of them were very entertaining, but everyone knew there was limits to how long that formula could keep going.

His public persona suffered quite a hit after the whole DCU thing I think. He really wanted to be Black Adam, but that character starts off as a villain. That was an issue, because Dwayne Johnson always has "I don't lose any fights" in his contracts. So obviously he can't be a movie villain, because the villain isn't supposed to win. So they skipped straight to where he is a hero, without the build-up, and everyone learned that his contracts require him to never lose a fight, which makes him come off as an ass, unlike his public profile prior to that.

Then he stages some kind of DCU coup which I'm not sure how he has the chops to do, and spends a lot of political capital on getting Henry Cavill back as Superman, but immediately after the whole DCU leadership is upended and all of that is scrapped. I don't know how that affected his industry connections, but I doubt it was in a positive way.

TL;DR: Everyone knew Dwayne Johnson wouldn't last, including himself, which is why so many movies with him were pumped out while he was still on top. Then he lost some popularity among fans and execs due to some DCU stuff.

Those two things aren't incompatible if you shield it with a massive heatsink.

Still harder than just doing it on earth, though.

No, he's admitting that the third time won't be by election.

That makes them a great example. This person spent hundreds and couldn't even grow strawberries.

Many experiences? How many fines have you been racking up?

You could have stopped after collecting all eight.

My employer rolled out an AI-based bot which commented on code reviews. It was absolute garbage, and every single comment I ever saw it make was a false positive. Disproving the false positives was a huge waste of time. I hated it with a passion.

Recently it was upgraded with a modern model. Now I've only ever seen it give legitimate feedback. It's like night and day. Sometimes the feedback is overly pedantic, and more often than not suggesting an improvement slated for later, but still legitimate feedback with an appropriate tone for the severity.

I believe recent sentiment from the curl project (who previously complained about drowning in slop PRs), is that their AI-based pull requests have also improved significantly.

I'm still not a fan of AI-generated code, since I mostly think in terms of code and AI fucks up the process for me, but I have to acknowledge that quality of output has improved greatly the past year or so.

"Accidental" and "conspiracy" aren't the only alternatives. You don't need to start a conspiracy with someone this easy to manipulate. You just nudge them in the direction you want them to go.

A big reason why there probably isn't any conspiracy is that Trump would have blathered about it if there was one.

I've used Debian since 2001 or so. I reinstall whenever I have a new computer, unless I'm decommissioning another computer at the same time.

They don't need to. There's not a lot of other people willing to join them.

Last time I saw Linus in the news he was ripping into someone submitting a huge blob of code after the deadline, and said that would not be going into the next kernel. So he's at least expecting humans to review things thoroughly, otherwise why allocate time for human review?

The context of the quote is not code generation, it is an AI-based code review tool which caught real issues which made it past human review. He's not arguing for lowering the code quality standards, he's acknowledging that in the past year, AI-based code review tools have started to provide real value.

He has vibe-coded at least one non-kernel hobby project, though.
