#62Love the way the author labels each of his diagrams as “AI Slop”!
I'm kind of fascinated by the first diagram on the page. It sits so firmly in the uncanny valley for me and I can't put my finger on why. By itself every part looks ok and normal, but as a whole it just screams AI to me. I don't know if its the color choices or the composition or something else. It all just feels that little bit off. I mean, I know its AI, the page says so itself, no one is trying to hide it. But it…

Where I do think it ads value is "AI slop 2". This is somehow even better comprehensible than an average photo.

#66Interesting project. In a similar but opposite vein, I am going on a vacation and I wanted to share the stupidly expensive internet in my room at night with the family so I am likely bringing a raspberry pi to have as a travel router attached to my Mac. In this case, I can use the RaspAP project: https://raspap.com/ This is slightly different in that I do want a NAT.

#67Earlier quoted context omitted.
won’t somebody please think of the billion dollar company?
This has nothing to do with the billion dollar company, and I have no lost love for Microsoft. It's about quality of discourse among us, and Microsoft has nothing to do with that.

Also details like the light blue boxes being swapped.

But this is a Pi Pico, which is a microcontroller and not a Linux system.
Two arm cores at 133 MHz. That's already more powerful than my first computer. For $4. It qualifies as a computer on it's own. It runs Linux just a hacked version with an emulated MMU https://github.com/tvlad1234/pico-rv32ima

#70Interesting that Gemini said it was infeasible. It should be aware that using a Pico W as a transparent ethernet bridge has been done several times over in open source projects, for example on BlueSCSI (emulating a Daynaport SCSI-Ethernet adapter) and PicoMEM and my own PicoGUS project (emulating an NE2000 Ethernet adapter).
It's often good to approach what llm said as a guidance, and not as ground truth. You can ask follow up questions or point to potential feasibility and it will change its answer.
