The latest would be that it's deprecated and will eventually be replaced: https://www.undeadly.org/cgi?action=article;sid=20260415050032
I personally enable do hw.smt=1 when rebuilding base as it finishes about twice as fast, but I don't notice performance differences other than in compilation.
The two-character term "AI" is grossly overused and overloaded. It can describe a multitude of techniques which have few commonalities between them, and even the same techniques can be used in very different ways (are fuzzing and testing tools the same as writing assistants, grammar and spelling checkers, fancy autocomplete, and expert systems? does lumping them together help discourse or development? is it helpful at all to place those tools in the same categories as machine vision, OCR, speech recognition, etc?). "GenAI" might be a better tag.
OpenBSD on my daily driver laptop, but my main desktop machine runs Linux.
This is an excellent post. Thank you for the share!
e: It'd be cool to have this as a
manual page, all of the syscalls laid out in a table with code references. I'm keeping this in mind as an OpenBSD user.
It wouldn't be too hard to generate one, but it could lead to confusion for people if they use random internet manpages because the syscall codes are not guaranteed to be stable across versions on OpenBSD and syscalls get added/removed/deprecated sometimes.

I like how there are bootable drives for linux.... Is their a way to do this with BSD?
There are a few distros like FuguIta , an OpenBSD-based live image. FreeBSD and NetBSD-based live images also exist but BSD distros aren't as numerous or as long-lived as linux so you'll have to check whether they are up-to-date.
