The AF_UNIX garbage collector is an interesting piece of the kernel. It exists because sockets can be sent with SCM_RIGHTS but they can become unreachable from user-space while still being kept alive by the kernel, which is not memory efficient; in this situation, the garbage collector intervenes to free them. Not long ago, the subsystem was rewritten from scratch on top of a ...
The intersection of AI and politics is like the Hobbits and Treebeard, where AI advances at a lightning pace while policy moves slowly, creating a mismatch in timescale that is painful and requires collective action to meet the moment.
