Parent article: Milepost GCC released

I saw the announcement on Slashdot a few hours earlier. The few hours difference have allowed LWN to at least provide a correct and well summarized account of the event. While LWN has the title "Milepost GCC released", which summarizes well the event, /. has "IBM Releases Open Source Machine Learning Compiler", which is rather very partial and even wrong.

IBM Israel (not IBM at large) is only one of the 5 partners of the Milepost GCC project, the 4 others are from Europe, indeed the project is funded by the European Union. So I see little ground to emphasize the role of IBM in general, and to clearly downplay the European academic contribution.

Slashdot misrepresenting an article? Now that has never happened before... :P
