Whilst I agree with most criticism of AI/LLMs but most of the time at the other end of someone using Claude/ChatGPT there is still a human there, a human that is trying to solve a problem or learn something. Maybe I'm naive and it's just all bots scraping sites to build their corpus of data, but at least the way I use AI is to solve problems and build things I couldn't do before (either because of time, or it was out of my reach)

> Steve Jobs did not treat his pancreatic cancer when he was first diagnosed and it was treatable

That's his choice, it's _his_ cancer after all

> I don't think that excuses all of the horrible things he did as a human

I think this is a bit of a leap. He's done some bad things sure, but the only ones you mentioned were...working on a yacht, using alternative medicine and getting a liver transplant

I have one of these too, and I honestly can't fault it. Runs Arch + i3 and they're very cheap in Australia since the education department handed them out in schools.

Once things get too sluggish for me I'll see what hardware hacks I can do to bring it back (I also wouldn't mind swapping the charging port to USB-C), but until then it works well for my needs.

I always found these incredibly rude, in my experience it's typically senior management, and specifically those who like to really make you feel like a nameless "human resource"

Though I haven't seen it in recent years with (better) workplace messaging platform, like Slack

It's interesting that sigma is static and defined ahead of time, how do you determine the initial sigma?

iiNet was probably the best job I've ever had, certainly the place where I learnt the most, and had the most fun.

The coffeecam was cute, acb - the one primarily responsible for the coffeecam - also had American candies for sale around it (at least when I worked there at Hay Street)

Given the answer to their question on how it's written is quite obvious in the provided link, I'd say if they are using an AI it doesn't appear to be parsing the content and maybe only the titles?

a minor point but you can't _encrypt_ source IPs, you can only obfuscate or more accurately, proxy.

The other 2% keeps engineers fairly busy, I imagine. Custom congestion control algorithms come to mind

OSPF is an interior routing protocol that transmits link state. Link state based routing algorithms aren't a good fit for interconnected networks

(n)vim would work a real treat on a pi. Building locally might be tricky depending on the codebase, but it's not entirely unreasonable to expect to have a full fledged IDE on a pi (except Android development, lol)

Building software that relies on an incorrect assumption sounds dangerous to me.

There's plenty of critical software in the world, some of which has real world consequences if there are bugs.

This has never, not once crossed my mind. I've worked at two FAANG companies and I'm fairly certain that at least at Google they'd be able to tell you've exfiltrated some code, and even if they couldn't it's morally questionable to be doing that in the first place.

High risk, very low reward
