What really resonated with me was your repeated calls for us at least to be arguing about the same thing, to get on the same page.

Everything about LLMs and generative AI is getting so mushed up by people pulling it in several directions at once, marketing clouding the water, and the massive hyperbole on both sides, it's nearly impossible to understand if we're even talking about the same thing!

I believe the parent comment is referring to the harbor pilot job specifically.

Imagine being able to shut off all Ubiquiti console access in the world instantly, by posting about a grave security issue (real or not) and having a few compatriots to do the same in a short amount of time. You could trivially block a business's access to its own security cameras on a moment's notice, among other things.

If the response to an unverified issue were "just shut everything down" you effectively have implemented an exploitable DoS in your own incident policy.

> Ps.: When I say Thunderbolt, I am well aware of how Thunderbolt 4 is just USB4 with optional features made mandatory. It's not relevant to the discuss at hand.

Dear God, I hope this situation settles down in the near future. As it is I have years of USB-C-looking cables that all do different things but are visually indistinguishable.

It is bizarre that you would read an article which says, “using body-mass index (BMI) to measure obesity is likely the most problematic factor,” and then immediately prescribe a fixed BMI for everyone without qualification.

It sounds like you're responding to a cryptocurrency talking point. How likely do you think it is that taxation (as in, "nothing is certain except death and taxes") will disappear at some point?

oh.

Depends on how you define headless, but the fact is, I'm rarely logged into it, and there's no mouse nor keyboard connected, nor any X server running.

Also tried, also useless. The program producing the sound is being run by another user.

You can't use `pavucontrol` unless you're logged in to a graphical interface as the user who is producing the sound.

For a headless system, it's useless.

It's fine when it works. It's a monstrosity when it doesn't.

I spent an hour the other day trying to figure out how to tell it not to output audio through my DualSense controller haptics (which look like a four-channel audio output) when I connect it to an Intel NUC over USB. I never did succeed, and all the posts I found were basically other people asking how to do similar things.

This seems like a neat idea! I like it too.

There are plenty of other systems to do this with. Gist's value proposition seems orthogonal to its Git integration—more to do with its UX.
