I can’t speak for others but I simply hate that people keep telling us how amazing AI is yet not a single one of them can ever point to a single task completed by AI on its own that is actually of decent quality, never mind enough tasks that I would trust AI to do anything without supervision. I mean actual tasks, e.g. PRs on an open source repository or a video showing some realistic every-day task done from start to finish by AI alone, not hand-wavy “I use it every day” abstract claims.

People like OP seem to be completely oblivious to the fact that reading code takes a lot of time and effort, even when there was an actual human thought process behind it, never mind when it might be totally random garbage. Writing code is also not nearly as much of a bottleneck as AI proponents seem to think it is. Reading code to verify it is not total garbage is actually much more effort than writing the same code yourself. It might not appear like that if you are writing in a low expressiveness language like Go or Java because you are reading or writing a lot of lines for every actual high level action the code takes that you need to think about but it becomes more obvious in more expressive languages where the same action can be expressed closer to 1:1 in terms of lines per high level action.

This apparent tension between AI’s documented benefits

That is one hell of an assumption to make, that AI is actually a benefit at work, or even a documented one, especially compared to a professional in the same job doing the work themselves.

“Our trailers” as the last line sort of makes me think someone forgot to remove a placeholder.

“Can’t stop, smell” seems like a good description of the horrible stench anywhere near perfume shops.

Well, technically most of the way you don’t have to do much on that journey, most of the effort is to get into Earth orbit.

I guess they also set their goal for wear on the ropes very high.

I think it is more that the appeal of forms of communication where you can exclaim things without having to worry about pesky things like responses increases the dumber the things you want to say are.

IPv6 binds on wildcard addresses include binding to the IPv4 addresses.

What does ss -tlnp return? Does the process listen on any ports?

That should only affect ports below 1024.

Your two bind addresses might be in conflict with each other since [::]:5234 includes binding to the first one.

While it might be reasonable to expect a web page to behave the way you describe, for anything more in web application territory the expectation that everything you ever loaded will stay visible somehow and available without cooperation of the code implementing the website is ridiculous.

Python packaging and stability is a total mess. It has gotten to the point where I just look for alternative tools when I find out something new I found is written in Python.

You want https://tabby.tabbyml.com/ instead of tabby.ml

But that is the point. Most people do not use VPNs, you harm very few legitimate customers and save yourself the headache of dealing with all those who use VPNs for scams, attacks, exploits,…

The trade-off is entirely different from dynamic IPs.

Also, the admins running those things don’t do stuff to look like they are doing things, they wouldn’t care if you use a VPN if there was no downside to treating VPN IPs like any other.

No, they are literally not. Blocking VPN users is literally the low effort thing to do because the rate of problematic attacks and similar high effort issues coming from those IPs is much higher than the few legitimate users using VPNs are worth.

the info required was there already, just you needed to put effort in

Not really. This is mostly what this is all about. The companies are insisting that open source projects should do analysis of security impacts in addition to fixing the bugs whenever some “security researcher” runs some low effort fuzzing or static analysis thing that produces large numbers of bug reports and assigns CVEs to them without the consent of the project. The problem is that such an impact analysis is significant effort (often orders of magnitude more than the fix itself) by people with deep knowledge about the code bases and only really useful to the customers of those companies who want to selectively update instead of just applying all the latest fixes.

Talking about PRs being broken and then bringing up email, just about the most broken technology still in wide-spread use, is sort of ironic.

Probably doesn’t happen as much on Windows because Windows has issues replacing files that are open.

Safari is also just one of the forks of the KHTML/WebKit/Blink codebase Chrome is based on. Admittedly they probably implement some of the stuff they do implement themselves too because the common ancestor version is quite a long time ago now.
