It requires root

Running eBPF programs doesn't strictly require root.

It requires cap_bpf which is considered a high privileged capability.

You can also enable unpriviledged ebpf.

I’ve seen LLVM dependent builds hit well over 30GB. At that point it started breaking several package managers.

Prompt for a login or to check for updates on every start or once a week. It wouldn’t be difficult to get the numbers up for the number of online devices.

What does the LHC physics program have to do with military applications?

Research on interactions between particles can probably be helpful for nuclear weapons R&D.

You'd be surprised how creative the military can be when there's demand

Would expect with a message meet that criteria of exiting with a more helpful error message? From the postmortem it seems to me like they just didn’t know it even was panicing

This isn’t the case in some other fields.

There is also pixi (which uses uv for the python side of things) which feels like uv for conda.

Pixi is great! It doesn't purely use uv though. I just love it. It solves "creating a repo that runs natively on any developer's PC natively" problem quite well. It handles different dependency trees per OS for the same library too!
