Yeah, I doubt this is true. At least a few laid off employees would have said so somewhere, and the “journalist” even says that there’s been nothing about layoffs since July.

Buy high, sell low 😎

I picked unRAID to be able to mix disk sizes. It also requires little maintenance in my experience, so that’s also a plus.

Flatpak works just fine, as it installs to the user directory and not any immutable part of the filesystem. Any non-flatpak apps can be ran in distrobox.

I love distrobox.

The immutability is the main difference. If something gets messed up, on boot you simply change to the previous image and you’re back up and running again.

I use Duplicacy, personally. All you need to backup is your home directory since it’s immutable.

A terrifying/infuriating/interesting watch.

This is what this user does, for the record. They don’t care about anything anyone else says, they must be 100% correct or they turn to insults. You may want to block them if you care about actual discussion.

We test in production, silly.

It’ll cure your anxiety once and for all

Just because they want that doesn’t mean they understand how it works. It’s not currently feasible from a technical and resource perspective.

Depends on your definition of "smart’ I guess. ZigBee stuff like buttons and the like probably won’t become obsolete for a long time. I guess you could argue that ZigBee protocol updates could eventually brick them though. Good thing a lot of it is open source

You should not use a phone with preloaded graphene without first checking the hash. It’s also kind of insane to charge $50 for it, when Graphene’s web installer just has you click buttons to install. You can even use another phone to do it.

I would rather use dialup.

It doesn’t require an internet connection at all unless you want to update the firmware on the cameras 🙂 Oh, and I guess to view the web UI you’d need a LAN connection but it doesn’t need to connect to the full internet.

Frigate and Reolink are a good combo. Frigate is absolutely fantastic and can detect objects, sounds, and/or save clips and recordings to your pool. There’s really nothing better imo.

Then why do you bring up code reviews and 500 lines of code? We were not talking about your “simulations” or whatever else you bring up here. We’re talking about you saying it can create 500 lines of code, and that it’s okay to ship it if it “just works” and have someone review your slop.

I have no idea what you’re trying to say with your first paragraph. Are you trying to say it’s impossible for it to coincidentally get a correct result? Because that’s literally all it can do. LLMs do not think, they do not reason, they do not understand. They are not capable of that. They are literally hallucinating all of the time, because that’s how they work. That’s why OpenAI had to admit that they are unable to stop hallucinations, because it’s impossible given that’s how LLMs work.

“my coworkers should have to read the 500 lines of slop so I don’t have to”

That also implies that code reviews are always thoroughly scrutinized. They aren’t, and if a whole team is vibecoding everything, they especially aren’t. Since you’ve got this mentality, you’ve definitely got some security issues you don’t know about. Maybe go find and fix them?

I’m not sure I’ve ever had naturally carbonated mineral water before, but yeah, the stuff I’m talking about has no sugar or anything, it’s just water. I’m not sure why it does that to me!
