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.


Doubt.

At any given time T, the coordinates form a right triangle with legs of length 5T and T. Therefore the distance D is given by D^2 = (5T)^2 + T^2 = 26T^2. This simplifies to D = T * sqrt(26). Therefore the rate of separation is sqrt(26) ft/sec regardless of time

I just wish more games would tell you, “Your last save was X seconds ago.”
I love it because it tells me what I need to know and it’s relatively simple to program (i.e., note current time any time you save or load).


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 have a very similar setup (Vive + 4070) working under Ubuntu 24.04 LTS. The only special workaround was to install Steam natively, downloading directly from Valve instead of using the Snap provided by Canonical. Aside from that, everything worked immediately right out of the box.




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.)


Counterpoint: Every developer should have to test their app on a machine with 1 GB of RAM and a dialup modem before inflicting their bloat on the rest of the world.
Didn’t they just buy all those studios? Is anyone in upper management listing losing job over such gross incompetence?
