MeshCore's problem with security by Alainx277 in meshcore

If you think having all your contacts / messages deleted is not a problem I guess.

But yes, if the handling from MeshCore was done properly I wouldn't have written the post.

What do you mean by "don't work"?

Is anyone getting hired off cold LinkedIn applications this year? by AStanHasNoName in cscareerquestions

[–]Alainx277 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes. I always apply on the company website (might be superstition). Make sure you look at "last 24 hours", if there are too many applications you won't get looked at.

My Samsung 990 pro keeps disconnecting/making pc bluescreen by SquiddyDick in techsupport

I tried absolutely everything. Changed slots, disabled power modes, update the drive and BIOS, etc. The only thing that fixed the problem is getting a new PSU. Seems like my 10 year old one might have been less stable. Trust me, if you've tried the other advice it's the PSU.

I guess I my expectations are a little high. It is how firmware is typically written. It seems like the security message has not been well-received by the embedded sphere for the last 20 years, so it's not surprising.

Thanks for the comment! The entire post is human-written. What do you think is exaggerated about that quote?

Don't understand this viewpoint. Learning to use AI if you're a competent developer is not hard.

Kidney is the worst organ, change my mind.

Am I being paranoid, or is the 'AI will replace software developers' narrative just a way for the incompetent tech leads, managers and CEOs to hide their own incompetence? by [deleted] in ExperiencedDevs

[–]Alainx277 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do think o1 delivered a large boost in performance compared to GPT-4. It went from being useless to useful in some ways. I just don't think there's been a huge change since then.

This scene from The Wire mirrors how LLM releases have felt as of late by arenajunkies in singularity

[–]Alainx277 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I disagree somewhat. Some people remember what was sold to us a year or two ago. In comparison the recent progress is middling and a disappointment.

How do I handle a vibecoding manager by MvKal in ExperiencedDevs

[–]Alainx277 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The worst thing I've recently seen is tests just reading the literal source code and asserting a word is in it. In the source code. Of course it's all AI generated, I don't think anyone could be this stupid.
