Believe it or not, they're even worse at writing software. The only reason there haven't been more FSD accidents is because there are so few of them on the road

I take a lot of comfort in the fact that this will be a long time from now. FSD cars (in 2025) are about the same as flying cars: sure they exist, and they're a novelty, but the edge cases are just so so bad that they'll be in regulatory hell forever. And thank god for that, because have you seen how bad the average piece of software is? imagine betting your life on it every day. FSD software is incredibly complex, and people in general are not good at writing complex software.

I agree. I loved the idea of Kagi, and would be happy to pay for a decent search engine, but i am extremely turned off by kagi's insistence on using and funding AI. I don't want to support AI in any way, and therefore will not subscribe to Kagi. If only a decent alternative would come along.

You're not missing something. Much like Disney's "Snow White" was called a "success" despite bombing both at the box office and on streaming, the corporate media stooges will blithely state the complete opposite in an attempt to hide abject failure. Ubisoft is no different.

AC fans waited years to get a game with samurai's based in feudal Japan. What they got is a "samurai" game with no actual Japanese samurai protagonist. Ubisoft's reason for this is painfully obvious to everyone. This is why Japanese consumers have largely rejected it and has a lot to do with why sales have tanked overall.

There's a saying for this that ends with "go broke." It's slipping my mind at the moment, but I'm sure it'll come to me eventually.

If more companies would not only put a monetary bounty on these crooks but also specify "dead or alive," perhaps it would start to put a dent in their activities. They're already operating from countries that either look the other way or actively assist them in their activities. Putting a death mark on them ups the stakes considerably and allows the use of...ahem...alternate actors...ahem...that can operate beyond the law to get actual results.

Just wait a few hours for the Ada/SPARK people to go to bed, should be around 830 (they get sleepy halfway through 60 minutes)

I've been doing this long enough to know that I'm not perfect, and I'd rather my tools tell me about bugs ahead of time. Especially when the cost is small enough to be imperceptible.

Cool, so you have a tool to stop the bleeding after you've cut yourself. Wouldn't it be better to not cut yourself at all?

No, that's exactly not what I'm suggesting. What I'm suggesting is that the common use of sudo to get permissions to do whatever you want to do is a security nightmare, and amounts to lighting a cigarette with a flamethrower. If your script needs to do network things, use capset on the binary that does it and then have the binary owned and only executable by a group that allows that operation. there are very few things that definitively need root, and using sudo to get root permissions is overkill in almost every situation.

If your 20 year old scripts rely on sudo, they're already broken. Fix your permissions.

Vibe coders who aren't paying any attention are.

I'm a host, and have been for many years. This really should have been the default all along.

I was under the impression it was all just CowboyNeil!

Education isn't free. How about they pay 50 billion for each book, since they will *sell* the contents 50 billion times in a row?

FTFY

Why is 5 years fair? Because that's how long you want to wait? 5 years is short enough that everyone would just wait it out, and the publishing industry would pretty much cease to exist. 20 years seems more fair. And there's the problem, nobody can agree on what's "fair".
