Hell yeah. K-shaped economy embodying the core value of “fuck everyone else because I got mine.”

Our best and finest left the safe combo next to the safe and then left for 6 months.

We’re barely even trying with the massive cuts to cyber security. It’s almost the exact playbook you would use if leadership were actively hostile.

Breached? But we left the keys in the ignition and the door was wide open. We could have, you know, tried.

Who cares about the risk? It’s not going to work otherwise.

There are even supposed to be safe harbor protections, but the reality is that individuals don’t have the legal resources for it to matter.

Reminds me of a job I had where we got scored based on the number of issues closed. Suddenly, every minor typo or style disagreement became its own issue. We’d close hundreds of issues a day wordsmithing on comments.

I figured out that it always works for me if I only ever visit the site with private browsing, clearing everything on exit.

But seriously, if they cut me off, I’m just not going. It’s barely worth it as it is.

What, did enough manufacturers not step up to grease your palms?

That’s like eating exactly one potato chip.

Why do people buy organic fruits and vegetables?

I care about where the code comes from. I like the community to come together on a good solution rather than have one spat out of unknown quality. I want to both test and have that community working together towards a common goal. Fundamentally, I think that sharing our answers and cataloguing them as developers is a good strategy. Way better than AI.

If AI is ultimately borrowing its answers from open source, wouldn’t it be better to just go use open source? At least then there’s some hope that if people find issues and edge cases that I might get those fixes in the future. Why limit your upside to zero? Like, I can put my entire program in one source file maintained by just me but it doesn’t mean I should. Is this an argument against why libraries are a good idea?

I’m glad you figured it out! Thank you for sharing your solution.

Sounds good! Basically, the problem I had boiled down to a super old driver no kernel dev wants to touch with a ten foot pole and they’re just kinda hoping it’ll die a death to irrelevancy, but there are a few systems out there that do still use it.

The rest of the design moved on to more advanced architecture.

Hey! This was my first real job. Is Matlab code written by physicists who just recently learned programming.

It’s detectors all the way down.

But of course, as a tortoise, you would know that.

I had this problem specifically dealing with the way that IOMMU maps devices conflicting with a really old USB root hub. I had to set something like intel_iommu=off for my case.

Would you be willing to share the output of your dmesg ?

I have a brilliant friend who works there. However, only projects that integrate AI are really getting approved.

Not if I use AI to hide my use of AI first!

Enforcing that ban is going to be difficult.
