No, really, and I mentioned it in the first message, LWN provides good explanations, links to articles, personal opinions, references etc. I wouldn't put LWN and a chatbot on the same level at all! One has skilled writers knowing their topic and explaining how stuff works and why certain choices are made, the other one is basically the chatty coworker that everyone prefers not to hear for too long. Here it's "just" a rough summary of a conversation and it's not capable of dealing with too large a context. I really love to read LWN to *learn* some very interesting stuff. A summary like the ones Konstantin and I shared is more aimed at letting you decide if you're interested in going deepeer into that thread. And BTW my initial experiments were clearly on this: "am I interested in reading that thread or should I skip it". > I would be _VERY_ interesting having a discussion here with the > relevant parties (Hello Jon!) to see which direction we as a > community will want to go.
