Not much, but it does need to be maintained. Every time someone pushes an update to code that the driver uses, something changes in the Linux kernel, or Intel releases be hardware that needs a different register map or whatever, the driver will fail. If nobody steps up to maintain it, it could stop working in a matter of months.

Gotta love bananas the diameter of a watermelon with a few ears of corn thrown in for good measure

…sure?

This kid doesn’t know what he’s writing or why, he’s just coaxing cursor to vomit up commits and apparently that’s their only metric for success.

I work with AI tools and with people who are absolute top tier Cursor users and their shit is always broken. They iterate fast but they absolutely do not fully understand what they’re producing. It’s great for rolling out flashy UI quickly (apparently the only thing investors care about), then you watch it all go to shit the second you push because every update breaks everything in horrifying ways. It’s like watching the early days of enterprise C++/Java where everything was spaghetti, but 100x worse.

I don’t think this paradigm of AI is likely to rival a decent human developer, there needs to be a fundamental change in how the models work and how we use them. What were doing now is hoping quantity is somehow going to replace quality.

I’ve tried helping some spicy leftist groups and I’m still floored by how little the groups of people care who should absolutely know better. They will talk a big game but when it actually comes to implementation everyone immediately goes all “nothing to hide” like their years of constant guillotine reacts and memes won’t be pulled out in court the second they try to argue entrapment against some bullshit ci/undercover op.

I don’t think many people realize how aggressive a digital search warrant can get if you or someone dumber than you fucks around and finds that main character energy. At the end of the day you gotta absolutely minimize the amount of data that’s retained long term on systems.

The number of people who don’t understand that AI is just the mathematical average of the internet… If we’re, on average, assholes, AI is gonna be an asshole

This is the correct initial reaction but given the extent to which the US monitors every single transaction everyone makes, it’s getting awful hard to manage the influx of feral hogs without having them streaming through your door.
