The problem with this take is the assertion that LLMs are going to take the place of secretaries in your analogy. The reality is that replacing junior devs with LLMs is like replacing secretaries with a network of typewriter monkeys who throw sheets of paper at a drunk MBA who decides what gets faxed.

I think the usual recommendation these days is get the highest rated corexy in your price range.

I've heard mixed reviews about Bambu AMS; seems cool enough, not quite the same as a true dual extruder, has some quirks and annoyances.

Maximum length is the biggest red flag to me and was the catalyst for me making the effort to switch to unique passwords per-account years ago. There's just so, so many shitty homerolled security systems out there... and data breaches seem to be a perennial problem these days.

There's just no excuse for limiting the length if you're doing security correctly (other than perhaps a large upper limit just to protect against someone DOSing the backend with a bunch of 100MB strings; 512 characters seems reasonable).

By setting an upper limit, you're basically saying one or more of these things:

  • We store your password in plaintext
  • We store a hash but our hashing function has an unnecessarily arbitrarily limited input size
  • The person/team implementing the backend has no idea what they're doing and/or just copy pasted login code from stack overflow
  • We tried to get away with minimal password requirements but some middle manager wouldn't rubber stamp it without arbitrary_list_of_bs

"asked to resign as part of layoffs"

The sheer audacity. "Please quit so we don't have to pay you severance or unemployment." It boils the blood.

I bet Fluke will sell you one for $900

Except that there have been 12.5 successful Crew Dragon flights (one is still docked to ISS) and, critically, zero crew casualties.

I'd put my faith in Elon Transport Solution (that realistically Elon has nothing to do with any more, operationally) over Made By A Company Where Sometimes The Door Plugs Come Off Transport Solution any day.

SpaceX is Shotwell's company, and she's way more capable of driving success than the fuckstick who does their PR. It's difficult to dismiss the objectively astounding leaps in technical progress that the engineers at SpaceX have achieved.

Musk could take a long walk off a short bridge and it wouldn't affect SpaceX's operations at all.

What acute answer.
