> but DOS is simple enough that it's easy to make additional copies of it (two kernel files, and one shell); in that era, I'd make all my floppies bootable.

Depending on your machines, we may have looped back to that point in the form of https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40914761 - 20MB in one file is all it takes to carry around a UEFI bootable Linux system on every USB drive you own.

You're not providing any value in pasting output from an LLM. You're just adding noise to your signal.


Why in the world am I getting downvoted for this? For the Claude summary? I also checked the repository manually, and agree with the summary. One of the prime use cases for LLMs is summarization.


No one cares. If I wanted to know what an LLM thinks, I'd ask it myself.


Your comment should not be flagged. It is useful info. I wrote the Reg article and I submitted the link, and I didn't know about the update project.

However, I do agree with the other commenters -- do not paste LLM bot output. Your own summary was better.


Didn’t downvote you, but I don’t see any value in posting a copy/paste from Claude.

You’re not saving me any meaningful time or doing something I couldn’t. It is not worth a post IMO


The main point of the post is to say that it is getting maintained in a fork now, to some degree. It's still a very rudimentary implementation though.


This summary was much better (shorter and to the point) than Claude’s ;)


I feel the same way about people who post a link to/paragraph from Wikipedia, but people don't reflexively downvote those.


Please don't litter HN with LLM generated slop. The value of HN lies in the human discussion, everyone here is capable of asking an LLM about it.


Maybe you should ask an LLM?


It would be extremely cool if this weren't the case, but current LLMs are just very bad at summarization. As evidenced by the slop you posted being a bad summary!
