So the big bad "significant security vulnerability" Adafruit just had to let everyone know is a public Firebase API Key without realizing these are more often than not intended to be public and didn't bother taking 10 seconds to Google it. They also claim Flux's "6.4 million projects" number is "substantially inflated" when the only thing they know is that the number hasn't changed in a few months. Maybe it's true they haven't updated it because it has shrunk, but where is the evidence it is "substantially" wrong? Adafruit points to the number's static HTML as the smoking gun that it is knowingly falsified without understanding the site uses Next.js and server-side rendering.
Obviously sending a cease and desist letter about making a dumb security vulnerability disclosure is wrong, and their counsel is stupid for making CFAA claims about this. At the same time, Adafruit can't clutch their pearls about an ignorant lawyer when they are also guilty of being ignorant here.
Both sides are jerks here, which seems to be typical of the stupid spats ptorrone starts with others online, threatening Adafruit's good reputation for the benefit of their ego.
Let’s put that to the test. Here’s an entire article accusing her of not being Albertan. Where’s the corresponding outrage about xenophobia against this person?
GoPro has had two years of falling revenue. While I’m sure the memory shortage isn’t helping their profits I’m not sure it is entirely to blame for continued falling revenue.
WMF has over 600 staff, and 6 were recently laid off from a specific team. The criticism isn’t that no one is doing work at WMF but instead
a) The team affected by the layoff was responsible for implementing ideas from the community, and this historically has not had much traction. This decision sends a signal that WMF does not care about community input.
b) Most of the people laid off were prominent in a union, and the community thinks this is unfair retaliation that a mission focused non profit shouldn’t stoop to.
> Not AI-generated. Not everyone is born writing flawless English. If it sounds like an LLM, maybe it is because people like me had to learn how to write clearly from LLMs because English is not our first language.
Is there still grammar police on the Internet, calling out people for making grammatical mistakes in their writing? Who is asking for flawless English?
Thinking that the LLM style is an example of flawless writing is a common mistake of ESL people. It's not flawless. A single rhythm, structure and flow permeates every piece of LLM writing. There is no variation whatsoever. People have been reading so much of that stuff recently that they don't bother to read the article if they spot one of these patterns. They're so easy to avoid, too.
> Fired. And the part that gutted me:
His proudest accomplishment at AWS? Restoring my account.

> I was gutted to read that his proudest accomplishment at AWS was restoring my account.
Is it flawless? Probably not, I'm not a writer, or a native English speaker. However I think it's more sincere, explains the feelings without any fluff, and is just simpler.
If the author's goal is to have people read their article, they should consider that people are tired of reading these patterns over and over again, it's not "flawless English" and it's not "writing clearly" because the patterns are unnecessary and obscure the message.
> Is there still grammar police on the Internet, calling out people for making grammatical mistakes in their writing?
This is one of the last places on the internet that actually has grammar police, as commenters here have a desire to be technically correct in all aspects.
The author's voice in that comment doesn't sound like their writing in the article(s).
Maybe they're being sincere, and they just edited it so heavily with AI that it comes out sounding generated, but that's a distinction without a difference.
That comment appears to be from 9 months ago, regarding an entirely different article.
Also, you've cut out the part where he says he did use AI, but just to "resort" the article (by which I assume he means "reorganize"). Whether one believes that is gonna be a judgment call I suppose.
The article is clearly AI written. You can also see in their account history where they’re switching between their own writing style or copy and pasting from an LLM.
Most LLM copy-paste accounts will deny it when called out.
TFA outright states that they don’t want to sell the Lifetime option anymore but don’t want to rug pull customers that want it, so they’re increasing the cost substantially to a price they’d be happy with
I’m curious how they determined $750 is fair. Is it just N * Annual_Price and if so why is this value of N fair? But they likely won’t say
It's literally called fuck off pricing. A price that's so high you get the buyer to fuck off so you don't need to deal with them, and if they buy it anyway you're happy with the ludicrous mark up. The $750 isn't supposed to be fair it's I don't want to deal with the maths on making money off this figuring out what inflation will be for the next 100 years or the maths for actual lifetime or server improvements deflating expenses etc etc so just get a subscription or fuck off.
At my job I was asked to help integrate our Google Workspace account with an AI notetaking tool another team purchased. The vendor instructed us to set up Domain-wide Delegation for reading/writing emails and Google Drive files. Essentially this would automatically opt in every user in my organization and there would be no way to opt out.
I had to contact the vendor to set up a "less recommended" way of requiring users to actually log into the tool and accept the OAuth permissions prompt. The entire time, everybody (the vendor and my organization) acted like it was a waste of my time.
I can't control what everyone else does, if they want to grant some tool these broad permissions, feel free. But I find it unethical to just enable it for all users with no ability to opt out if this isn't actually a critical tool. Not to mention the security concerns with this.
What is most concerning to me is how people are turning their brains off for anything tangentially related to AI. The people making this request to me are smart people who 5 years ago would have never asked to do this. Now suddenly they don't care - everyone else is doing it, why not?
>What is most concerning to me is how people are turning their brains off for anything tangentially related to AI.
Everyone is betting the farm on that .01% chance that they become wild trillionaires. We're going to burn down the whole planet and use all of the resources so a few people can have a minuscule chance at being obscenely rich.
As with anything, there are tradeoffs. There are situations where S3 is cheaper. For my use case (long term storage, rarely downloaded), Glacier Deep Archive is about $1/TB/mo which is cheaper than anything else out there (rsync.net, Backblaze R2, Cloudflare R3, Wasabi). Where you get bitten by Glacier is if you need frequent access since you pay a fee for AWS to retrieve the file in addition to the bandwidth used to download it.
