Much of that policy page would be less contentious (and more precise) if it said NLP instead of AI (it's another "lost term" like "hacker", after all.) Whether the focus that brings to the rest of it is what you're going for is another question...

@kaia
I am probably the market for this (tallscreen laptop, woohoo!) but they failed: there's no trackpoint.

@MicroSFF
Turns out to be one of those "yes/later" prompts and the dream recurs...

@silverwizard neat: https://cvsweb.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/src/usr.sbin/httpd/ https://www.openbsdhandbook.com/services/webserver/basic_webserver/ and looks like it's getting some recent activity.

@AndresFreundTec And a lot of persistence! Reminds me of one of the classics of the industry, Cliff Stoll's Cuckoo's Egg - "Stoll traced the error to an unauthorized user who had apparently used nine seconds of computer time and not paid for it" leading to a german hacker selling content to the KGB - 38 years ago. It is impressive (but uncommon) to see someone paying that level of attention to anomalies these days, with how thick tech stacks have gotten...

@cadey
I just gave an in-house tech talk on "weird tools I built that I use all the time but you probably don't want" :) Fun and low-stakes, all in all.

@ntnsndr
I hate that this is a real question, but if you're asking it you'll probably find @simon of interest (in terms of being able to beat an LLM with a stick until something useful comes out)

@noracodes
Yeah, one of the reasons we liked it as an interview question is that the answers were *very* different depending on experience and subfield; I once used it in a (sloppy, startup) tech writer interview to show that they were "on the right level" to extract information from our team (doing a map search appliance, so it was a good proxy topic.)
