I’m reasonably certain GP is (humorously) trolling us


Thank you.


Yup the readme reeks of llm generated fluff. Lately I find myself getting more and more suspicious whenever I see lots of emojis in markdown headers..


Fair. The emojis are a style choice -- I find them useful as visual anchors when scanning a long feature list. The code is in docs/ either way.


Source? Been googling for this but I don’t see any relevant info


I found these references to Mullvad and TeamPCP

>The whole operation ran primarily from Mullvad VPN exit nodes and virtual private server infrastructure, with little effort made to blend in. This was a high-tempo, low-stealth campaign designed to extract as much value as possible, as fast as possible.[1]

>Wiz CIRT observed the bulk of TeamPCP’s activity originating from Mullvad Virtual Private Network (VPN) exit nodes and virtual private server hosts such as InterServer.[2]

oopsie, has someone burned their proprietary intel for internet points?


Ive installed the gtar formula and aliased it to tar. Cant be bothered to memorize the differences between macOS tar and unix tar, especially when the latter is considered to be the de facto standard


> and unix tar

It's in the name: GNU's Not Unix.


But, ironically enough, MacOS _is_ Unix:

Would you happen to have a link to this? For science of course :)



Yeah, I kinda expected it. I'm a gruvbox and catpuccin guy haha.


This has been ongoing for some time. I’ve raised valid issues in several encode projects and received rude/dismissive comments from this individual. I’ve reviewed their recent interactions with others on GitHub and it’s obvious that Mia (tom?) is super toxic/drama seeking


They always were but it's clearly spiraling faster.


If component prices keep going up and the respective monopoly/duopoly/triopoly for each component colludes to keep prices high/supply constrained, then eventually devices will become too expensive for the average consumer. So what’s the game plan here? Are companies planning to let users lease a device from them? Worth noting that Sony already lets you do this with a ps5. Sounds like we’re headed towards a “you will own nothing and be happy” type situation


We could also vote the policians protecting these uncompetitive markets out of power and let regulators do their job. There has been too many mergers in the component market.

You also have to look at the current status of the market. The level of investment in data centers spurred by AI are unlikely to last unless massive gains materialize. It's pretty clear some manufacturers are betting things will cool down and don't want to overcommit.


> We could also vote the policians protecting these uncompetitive markets out of power and let regulators do their job.

Could we though? Even if gerrymandering and voter suppression weren't already out of control, and getting worse, there are very few politicians who could or would do anything about all this.

Elections aren't going to save us.


> Sounds like we’re headed towards a “you will own nothing and be happy” type situation

That's when I sell of my current hardware and house, buy a cow and some land somewhere in the boondocks and become a hermit.


It could be a level up from that.

"You will use AI, because that will be the only way you will have a relaxed life. You will pay for it, own nothing and be content. Nobody cares if you are happy or not."


Would be more impressive if this was done for something obscure like Microsoft Visio. Theres countless oss ms word editors/libs Claude probably ripped off


The schema Visio’s files save to is very complex.

There’s stuff like diagrams.net, but that’s not compatible.


Yup that’s why I suggested it. The vsdx schema is notably complex and I don’t see a lot of code examples in the wild. I seriously doubt an llm would be able to output working code for it. Docx is a common use case and a quick google search yields multiple popular libraries that understand the format. Anyways, cool that an llm was able to output a functional docx editor, but that’s certainly not impressive or a groundbreaking feat by any means


Citation needed. I know folks using the free plan that have gotten ddos’d and cloudflare kept them online. Can you point me to an article where cloudflare disconnected someone for getting attacked


They definitely used to do this ca. 2011-2012, any bigger attack and they'd drop you right away if you were on a free plan (and slightly slower if you weren't). But well, that was almost 15 years ago.
