Even in death, I serve the Omnissiah.

I am the primary author of an open-source framework for Ethernet in embedded systems. There is not a single line of fucking AI slop in that repo, because I am not an irresponsible hack.

Seems I was mistaken. My previous statement was based on what others have said, but I haven’t actually run the tests myself. In any case, I have learned not to rely on statements made by the accused in this type of dispute.

Yes, there’s been several regressions that would’ve been caught by the original tests, but missed by the new vibe-coded tests. That’s what prompted the blog post linked by OP.

The whole rsync repo is 65k lines total. Recent AI-centric changes account for +16k/-6k, including massive changes to the unit tests. Somehow that’s not even considered a “minor” update (v3.4.1 to v3.4.3).

That’s not responsible use of AI, that’s malpractice.

I understood that reference. ♥️

Insurance never covers damages from war, because that’s a good way to bankrupt the insurance company. Even they don’t have infinite money.

I was skeptical, but the source checks out.

Luminet, J.-P. (1979). “Image of a spherical black hole with thin accretion disk”. Astronomy & Astrophysics. 75: 228–235. Bibcode:1979A&A…75…228L

I have a very similar setup (Vive + 4070) working under Ubuntu 24.04 LTS. The only special workaround was to install Steam natively, downloading directly from Valve instead of using the Snap provided by Canonical. Aside from that, everything worked immediately right out of the box.

OK, now explain why you can’t find a decent ISP in a major American city. (That’s right, it’s because of monopolies and enshittification.)

Counterpoint: Every developer should have to test their app on a machine with 1 GB of RAM and a dialup modem before inflicting their bloat on the rest of the world.

JAQing off

Were you talking to John Carmack or John Connor?

What? This is a press release from the California Attorney General literally taking about what they are doing in court right now.

How do you go from that to “thEy’Re DoiNg NothIng”?

This mirrors my experience with my 2017 Prius Prime. On the rare occasion when I activate gas mode (e.g., for long trips) it gets 50 mpg no problem. Otherwise it’s an electric car and the gas engine is completely shut down.

During COVID lockdowns, we were driving a lot less. We got a warning message that we needed to burn at least 5 gallons of gas each year to keep it from going stale. So we drove it exclusively in gas mode for a while, then went right back to not caring about gas prices at all.

Why would they name it “Visio”? That is already the name of a different Microsoft product.

This is just for city of Los Angeles, which is a small portion of Los Angeles county, let alone the entire state of California.

NVR = Network Video Recorder. It’s the box that has the hard drive(s) to record all the video streams coming in from the cameras over WiFi or Ethernet.

I have a Reolink setup that’s entirely air-gapped. No app required, just configure everything through the NVR unit.

To be a completely fair comparison, you should give your baby access to nuclear weapons.
