If a device requires a proprietary app, it’s getting returned or thrown in the trash. No exceptions.

I’m not okay with any of those things.

Right idea, wrong number. Satellites in low Earth orbit are typically moving at about 7-8 km/s, depending on the exact altitude. The speed required to get from the surface to deep space (i.e., the “escape velocity”) is 11.2 km/s.

The escape velocity for the Earth is 11.2 km/s. If you shoot a cannonball upward at that speed, it’ll have enough energy to completely leave Earth and never come back.

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. ♥️

Doing absolutely nothing would be better than the current travesty.

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.

Canada was an open participant in the 2001 invasion of Afghanistan, and a clandestine participant in the 2003 invasion of Iraq, which kinda sounds like picking a fight to me.

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.)

Just show them the graph. Can’t argue with hard data.
