Thats very cheap. Bit worried it wont be enough to prevent spam, guess time will tell.

User process makes sense, but login shell is probably limited value. If your service gets pwn’d the attacker will spin up a reverse shell, and that isn’t protected by the login shell. You ideally want to use selinux/apparmor to prevent execution, or containers to limit the available execution environment.

We have, most toasters let you lift the lever higher to get it out.

I don’t think AI changes that balance all that dramatically. Any business that won’t hire juniors now, wouldn’t have hired them before, and simply had the “Must have 20+ years experience in [flavour of the month] framework” in their job ads.

And experience from past jobs hasn’t really counted for anything beyond “They werent stupid enough to get fired”, so paying for experience doesn’t make sense either.

All that said, regardless of who has the better crystal ball, its a shit time to be a compsci grad…

Pay peanuts, get monkeys. AI hasn’t changed that equation, so if they think that a grad will accept negative pay and come out the other end skilled, they are on crack.

Businesses have always paid to upskill young employees, its a cost of being an employer.

This annoys me as well. And its not just AUR either, I hit this with pi.dev plugins, which are in NPM:

Look how many duplicates there are, just because one person mildly changed am existing one, and never contributed back instead.

People are publishing their slop projects as if they intend on maintaining them, but they clearly aren’t capable or willing to actually maintain them.

And AI is the new sticker they slap on those exact same systems. Its just marketing.

The objection people had to the system was the facial recognition system, not the AI part. Whether its classic face recognition or AI recognition, no one wants to be tracked going into a nightclub, especially if they may not be publically out of the closet.

If your trying to insinuate that a bunch of gay night club owners are somehow data harvesting for big AI, then all I have to say is that the simplest answer is usually the correct one. Not everything is a big conspiracy.

And this isnt a shit post…

Just repeating an arguement I have seen:

There are always troublemakers, especially so at gay bars. An automated ID system allows for instantly detecting and ejecting them. Without the automated system, you have to get all of the bouncers across all of the bars to somehow share ID of the bad actors, which is hard, so people can slip through.

Whether that justifys risking leaking the identities of all of the legit patrons, I dunno, but clearly some of the bars thought so…

Cloudkeys are the low end, only support 20ish cameras. You don’t have to go full dream machine or whatever their top end stuff is. Still, expensive.

Unifi is local, with optional cloud. Very pricy though.

AI would write better, with no weird spelling errors, this is human slop. But honestly, who cares, you can skim it and get the point.

It just has the same cadence and patterns as a lot of the overt slop writing I have read has.

Im happy to consider a second opinion if you think its not AI generated?

At least for the ticket situation, some of your anxiety may just be the unknown of it all. Once you come out the other side of the experience you may find that next time it doesnt phase you as much.

I got ticketed for a bug in my states public transport ticketing system. I could demonstrate the bug, but the internal review refused to acknowledge it, and I was forced to go to court to avoid the fine. That experience was very anxiety inducing, because I had no prior experience with the court system, and I had no idea if I was gonna face a far worse fine if they didnt side with me. Fortunately they did, but as a result, I’m much more comfortable going to court for these things, because it became clear to me that the courts really don’t care for minor things like public transport tickets, so as long as you are reasonable, you’ll win.

With your situation, if you have proof you had a ticket and evidence of a history of paying for tickets I suspect if you push hard enough it’ll get dropped eventually.

Good luck :)

It is the high density of the x, not y phrasing, and that most of the article is just waffling. I might be wrong, but IMO, that was pure AI slop.

The new cameras are not announced, not spec’d, and not dated. There is no model name, no sensor, no price. What the company is describing is a direction, not a product you can buy.

That was what triggered me.

I’m sure fstoppers used to be a reputable source, so its kinda disappointing.

Urgh, that site is full AI slop.

When shaking their hand, a little tongue will go a long way to show them that you’re a team player. /j

Relax, deep breath, and take your time answering questions.

Good luck!

I have converted some tuya bulbs in the past, but its never been a good time. The exploit methods tend to get patched, so I had to open the bulbs and solder wires to flash, and the bulbs don’t go back together nicely. Better to just avoid that headache imo.
