"only a small number of users care about this" is a bad argument when those users are the people everyone else asks before spending money

Hi. Over the last 24 hours we had three separate small incidents that affected Codex reliability. Those are three too many and we are taking active steps for them to not reproduce. I have reset usage limits for Codex across all paid plans. May the tokens flow again.

<obligatory hermes-agent shillpost> no but fr hermes is based and you can use your ChatGPT account with it too! (the nous tool gateway continues to be killer, though)

A little secret. About 5% of our production traffic is on the Pi harness, about another 5% is on OpenCode. Reminder you can use your ChatGPT account in a flourishing set of other tools. We’ll continue to make Codex awesome, but you have options.

Hyperthread is the Intel branding from the Intel region of France. Otherwise it's just sparking Simultanous Multi-Threading.

i miss when security breaches were caused by actually skilled threat actors rather than fuckwits with a copy of claude code

tl;dr: Qualcomm do not have an excuse here. they have the resources, engineers, and upstream experience. other non-x86 vendors with far less leverage have already shown it can be done. they could ship a sane client platform compatibility story. they are choosing not to.

Intel review system: burn Ubuntu LTS ISO, boot installer, install, reboot, works. Qualcomm review system: no boot menu, Fedora won’t boot, OEM says "QC say no Linux support" so they won't upstream a DT. That is not a serious client platform.

I do not care about firmware abstraction theorycrafting. I care about what works today.

hoisting this out of the thread: I do not care about ACPI as a technology fandom object. I care that new hardware should not require kernel changes just to boot. UEFI ACPI has delivered that experience at scale. The alternatives have not. That's all.
LoongArch uses ACPI. Server ARM systems use ACPI via SBSA. Phytium desktop ARM systems use ACPI. Huawei Kunpeng desktop ARM systems use ACPI. Server RISC-V systems can use ACPI. So if Loongson, Phytium, Huawei, etc can do this, why can’t Qualcomm, MediaTek, Samsung, and friends? And to be clear: I don’t actually care whether the abstraction is ACPI, DT, or something else entirely. I care about the end-user experience. On x86, I can take a ten-year-old Windows or Linux installer and boot it on a system released yesterday. Some things might be flaky, especially DVFS/platform-specific power management, but the machine will generally boot and work. On SDX2E, I can’t even boot a Linux distro from six months ago, let alone ten years ago. I’m not sure there’s a single normal distro installer ISO today, other than maybe Gentoo/Arch-adjacent stuff, that boots on it out of the box. As an end user, that is not acceptable. If non-x86 architectures want to be taken seriously as general-purpose client platforms, they need an end-user compatibility story at least as good as x86’s. Otherwise, why should anyone care? The point of ACPI in this context is not “ACPI good because ACPI.” The point is that new hardware should not require kernel changes just to boot. ACPI provides standard interfaces for common platform devices, and lets firmware provide the platform-specific glue needed to translate those standard interfaces into whatever weird little thing the SoC actually needs. Can that be done with DT? In theory, yes. There are even generic DT class drivers for some common device types. But in practice, it’s optional, still a moving target, and usually more effort than just adding another compatible string and another driver path. So people mostly don’t use it that way. On ACPI systems, those abstractions are the default path for common platform functionality. A PCIe controller, for example, should not need a bespoke per-board DT binding and kernel-side special casing just to exist. Maintaining upstream DTs for every device does not scale. It cannot scale. We already have too many. The constant schema churn also makes firmware-supplied DTs basically non-viable: OEMs cannot reliably target a moving upstream interface forever. We’ve tried this. It does not work. So again: I don’t care whether the answer is ACPI, better DT class abstractions, or something else. But the requirement is simple: I should be able to boot a normal OS installer on new hardware without waiting for a bespoke kernel port. x86 already delivers that. Non-x86 client platforms need to stop treating it as optional.

ASUS PR: "Upon confirmation with our chip supplier, @Qualcomm, there are currently no plans to support Linux systems on the Snapdragon X2 Elite platform." QC assured us that SDX2E would have day-0 linux support, multiple times. so that was a %#&$ing lie
