And while it was an investment to do, they essentially just zeroed one of their largest bills. Why isn’t everyone with a large parking lot doing this again?

For those wondering why this is on my network, this belongs to my parents. I don’t police what they buy. I just help with their network, but this is a learning experience for them.

Just enough to convince locals they are good before getting what they want and ruining the area for decades.

Sounds like it, and sounds like a great way to deprecate the old site slowly while limiting the blast radius if pissed users.

As I said, a bill to ban VPNs from accessing piracy sites. Not forcing piracy sites to do anything, forcing providers to block access.

They just introduced a bill to ban vpns from accessing piracy sites, I don’t have the link on me but you can look it up. About 3 days ago

I don’t click on links without knowing what they are first, what is this?

Why do you think suddenly they’re trying to crack down on piracy?

I interviewed there last year. I was penalized for not using enough AI in my interview. I used it, just not enough of it.

They told me it was a company wide mandate. That I should be ready to not write any code but to use AI for everything.

So, whose fault is it?

There’s dozens of free open source apps that do this already. Why would I want to lock into a what appears to be proprietary (and probably vibe coded soon to be abandoned) project?

And why are they so mad at us for things we don’t do?

“We just make and manufacture weapons, we don’t use them, that’s other people, why are they mad at us?”.

And we just want people to be safe.

“Please bend over for your safety inspection, we want you to be safe, this is all for your own protection. How dare you be upset at us”

Its fine to use AI to find exploits IMO. Helps everyone, even if it does release a torrent of notices. However it’s highly unethical to claim a reward after using AI to find it. The reward is for skill, no to see if you could buy a Claude subscription. Hell if anyone “deserved” the award it would be anthropic, not the person running the Claude session. But really it should just be unclaimed.

Let’s hope the Streisand effect is in play here

I’ve been doing that, I use kubernetes, so kagent. Sammy at first but it calmed down. It’s neat to have it auto triage something that went down or failed, parse the logs, look at the hardware and health and then tell me when it’s time.

GPUs are sparse but I run on a 3090, VRAM is king. If you have one for a server it’s not horrible to spin up an llm

Yes and no. I use llama server to run my own local models, and then open ice to monitor it. From there a lot of open source services host MCP servers which then can help integrate. I then use it to auto write the documentation on the layout so next time when I say “go to the ZigBee controller and tell me…” It knows first go to the docs, it remembers where it is and any useful commands, then continues on.

let’s gooooo let’s goo get more turned off! Call them up and cheer for them for doing something good!

Why the lawyers of course, good sir! That’d how reparations work!

I think you’re spot on though because we’re facing the same thing. Our team has realized code is now the easy part, it’s everything else that is difficult - and maintaining that code going forward is a separate item as well. Trying to think of metrics for how brittle code is, and defining patterns. One thing I’m still not happy with any of the models is it’s architecture over a codebase. All of them are great at patches and bugs, but shit at defining decent patterns, so I find myself writing a lot of scaffolding and designs of how the could should flow, and I have a feeling that’s where my jobb is heading. I think that’s what you’re referring to

trajectory of the agentic development over at least the last four months hasn’t really accelerated in the way that we expected.

Oh color me fucking shocked there, Zuck. You are fucking surprised?

tl;dr - The agents made wild changes that no one predicted, and they confirmed that essentially it was missing the human side of "Hold on, don’t drop that database just to change the schema.

Now, I know I get hate, I do enjoy vibe coding. Hear me out though, it comes with some fun ups and a looooot of downs. At work they mandate it and my job is now managing 6 claude sessions at once, and I mean managing. “No, don’t fucking do that, no don’t do that.”. Most of my job now is telling Claude to stop doing what it’s doing.

It’s absolutely fucking insanity to think that you should let Agents run willy nilly with prod fucking write access. I wouldn’t do it with Dev! The shit is that?! It is a non-deterministic system. That means you cannot determine what is going to happen. Who cares if it gets it right 99% of the time? Who cares if the next model is 99.9%? It’s not 100%! That means it’s a ticking clock until something major fucks up!

Absolute fucking morons.

AI is, and I say this as an AI user, a pure 100% hubris machine. It will prop you up left and right, tell you that you have the best ideas, and make you feel almost like your dad didn’t leave you on purpose and that he still loves you. It makes you feel like the most specialist person. But you’re not. You’re a dumb human talking to a machine that was told to make you feel special. Executives lack that self awareness though, they walk around smelling their own farts and surrounding themselves with yes-men. AI to them is just the next natural evolution of the yes man. If you use AI, the number one skill is learning “No, clanker, I am not super smart, this may not be a good idea, you shouldn’t recommend that”, because guaranteed Meta’s AI convinced him. Guaranteed he wakes up everyday and talks with AI, and at some point he said he wished AI could lay off 60% of his fucking company and his AI said “That’s a super duper idea Mark, you’re so incredibly smart!”

Thanks for listening to my rant.
