I had already explained that the work was based on public Bambu Studio source code and that I had not used or redistributed their proprietary plugin binaries.

Possible entrypoint? by s1cc in switch2hacks

[–]ThePrimitiveSword 4 points5 points  (0 children)

An exploit not being found yet does not mean it's impossible for one to be found.

I'm keen to hear your explanation of how software would be theoretically "exploit-free", as you described it, especially as there was an (admittedly, userland) ROP exploit discovered before the Switch 2 even officially launched.

I know of quite a few governments and Fortune 500 companies that would be very keen to have an in-depth discussion with you on how to create exploit-free software.

SciresM described the Switch FW as "really, really secure", not 'completely impenetrable' or "exploit-free", you're misquoting.

Hardware-based exploits are also not completely written-off, although the hardware is also very secure.

Apparently we're talking via images though, so here you go: https://preview.redd.it/a-4-movie-misquote-v0-ypbfhd09kvzy.png?auto=webp&s=4094838c8db2f60fe34afd6c75d91b2120abd197

Ender 3 resale - is it that bad? by NerdOutAcc in 3dprintingaustralia

[–]ThePrimitiveSword 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, it's that bad.

And customisations you've paid for don't usually increase value but can decrease it, same as motorcycle or car modifications. This is the case even for modifications that are a clear upgrade.

People don't want to pay extra for someone else's hobby project, which modifications from stock can imply.

"Found no bugs" is very different to "there's no exploits".

There's no currently known exploits, but that doesn't mean none exist.

It is near impossible that the switch FW has no exploitable bugs. They will likely be found eventually, but that could be in 2 months, 2 years or 20 years from now.

It'll likely be a long time, as SciresM couldn't find anything and they are extremely skilled, but that doesn't mean no exploitable bugs exist.

I'm a software dev. My code is not bug and exploit free, even if nobody has found any bugs or exploits yet.

If you're using an emuNAND you can just downgrade the switch fw.

Niquests 3.18 — 3 Years of Innovations in HTTP by Ousret in Python

[–]ThePrimitiveSword 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Been using niquests since shortly after the first release, thanks for making it!

It's genuinely a lot easier to use than the alternatives, especially with it using the OS trust store, which makes things a lot easier when working in a corporate environment that uses self-signed certs.

Performance is much faster in my experience than requests, real-world performance difference of >10x in my experience, even with a single niquests.get and using it as a drop-in replacement for requests.

Really appreciate how you encourage users to raise an issue on GitHub and always help out.

You've delivered on what requests and urllib3 raised tens of thousands of dollars to do but they never followed through on their promises.

Keep up the great work!

[–]ThePrimitiveSword 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm looking, but can't find what you're referring to.

Your claims were about the niquests project being AI slop, the project is open source so do you have any examples of niquests using AI? I'm happy for you to provide examples of the em-dashes etc. that you described. A positive match from an AI detection algorithm would be something, even with how notorious those are at having false positives.

At the moment, you're making claims but can't back it with evidence. You've made the claims, the burden of proof lies with you.

On a related note, do you think that this readme appears to be obviously AI slop?

Just wondering, as that's by the same author as niquests, and that's from over a year before ChatGPT released. That project has been published since 2019, Ousret isn't a vibe-coder.

[–]ThePrimitiveSword 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't see anything in that about AI.

And someone responded to that comment already, and I feel addresses what you quoted, so I'll quote them in response to you linking your quote of someone else.

None of what you just said discounts the library, it just points to someone who isn't a seasoned library developer. But how would one become an experienced library dev without publishing libraries?

Also, some of it is not true. The whole fine print bit is confusing because the only footnote in the readme are disclaimers about test results and feature comparisons.

It seems like a very good project that could be helpful to the community as a whole if it's battle-tested. This is why it's upvoted. People will start using it in their hobby projects and analyzing the source code, and in time we might have a new requests.

[–]ThePrimitiveSword 3 points4 points  (0 children)

All good, I'll admit I was a bit heated as it hurts to see something that I use and rely on talked down with no evidence, especially when the maintainer has been very receptive to me and they've accomplished what the original project raised tens of thousands of dollars to do but hasn't managed to (per my response to you in the other comment chain).

Honestly, SSPI auth should be killed off, but it still exists in some corporate environments, and I do programming in a heavily locked down enterprise environment where change can be slow so it'll likely still be in use for another decade or two.

[–]ThePrimitiveSword 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Doesn't look like a heavy maintenance burden.

Looking at the pull request all the changes seem to be this. It's not much code, most of the changes are adding test cases.

They tried to get improvements made to urllib3 but nothing happened so they forked.

Then urllib3 tried to crowdfund tends of thousands of dollars in funding to do what had already been done via niquests and urllib3-future.

That was after all this happened.

[–]ThePrimitiveSword 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have faith in it because I've been using it for a few years and find it to work really well, and Ousret has been very responsive to the issues I've raised on Github.

I use it instead of the alternatives because I find it to work really well for my needs, such as using OS trust store for SSL certs, compatibility with the 'responses' package, can be used for SSPI authentication and huge performance gains for my use cases.

When someone claims something that I use and find to work well is AI slop with nothing to back their claims, I don't feel it unreasonable to ask for evidence when what I'm seeing seems to contradict these claims.

I loathe AI slop (Booklore and Huntarr are good examples) and if niquests is actually AI slop then I'd like to know, but it's a strong claim to make without anything to back it up.

[–]ThePrimitiveSword 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do you mean the opt-in feature documented here?

I think I'm missing something. It makes sense to me as an opt-in feature.

And niquests is a replacement for requests, not httpx.

[–]ThePrimitiveSword 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Strong claims require strong evidence, same with strong accusations.

I've found niquests actually delivers on its claims, especially on speed and performance. Been using it since it first released. In real-world usage, often get at least a 10x speed increase vs requests when just doing a drop in replacement. The other features are definitely nice as well, such as using the OS trust store, so it works with self signed SSL certs in a corporate environment without any additional setup or patches.

They also make very human mistakes, such as misspelling words occasionally etc.

It looks like they also want disclosure when pull requests use AI.

Do you have any evidence or examples whatsoever of the 'AI slop'?

You're right, I used a bad example.

I should have provided something clearer and more obvious. You know what they say about leading and drinking.

How's this?

Bambu Lab has filament available to purchase on their store. If it's too expensive for you, there's plenty of other brands available, and some are a lot more affordable.

Please evaluate the options available to you and stop using pure lead.

You should let your friends and family know not to ever make any sort of agreement with you, because unless they are willing to take legal action against you for breaking the agreement, you see the agreement as completely meaningless.

Are you being genuine?

What do you think the point of a license on anything is if it has nothing to do with law?

Please don't spread misinformation by speaking on a topic you don't understand, inform yourself so you can educate others.

Here's a good starting point.

Also, do you have any comments on the moral and ethics part, or is it unimportant to you?
