I like to think of it like this. It takes approximately five months of power, relatively speaking to power, the human brain vs. multiple megawatts hell even multiple gigawatts of power to power even some of the most modest and yet surprisingly complex AI models.

There is something about human intelligence that we don't quite yet understand, and it isn't in the complexity or increasing the number of parameters to the order of billions š¤£

@movq This random comment from another Slashdot article pretry much sums up my view on so-called "AI":
> Elevator music
Tony Isaac 20 minutes ago
If you derive your income from producing "elevator music" you might indeed be in danger of losing that income to AI. Also, bumper music--music used to fill otherwise silent gaps between segments of a podcast or radio show--might be a candidate for AI takeover.
But if you produce real music--music with depth and emotion--your job isn't going anywhere.
How can I be so sure? I've seen the kind of code AI writes. I've seen the kind of prose AI writes. Both are amazing, for something computer-generated. But neither would be mistaken for the work of someone skilled or proficient in the art. Music won't be any different.

@movq IMO, I believe it is all in the quality of the client (mobile, and web). Also, you don't have to hunt/pick for "instances", which arguably presents less friction.

Thank you, @movq! Luckily, I can disable it. I also tried it, no luck, though. But the problem is, I don't really know how much snakeoil actually runs on my machine. There is definitely a ClownStrike infestation, I stopped the falcon sensor. But there might be even more, I've no idea. From the vague answers I got last time, it feels like even the UHD/IT guys don't know what is in use. O_o
Yeah, it is definitely something on my laptop that rejects connections to IPv4 ports 80 and 443. All other devices here can access the stuff without issue, only this work machine is unable to. The "Connection refused" happens within a few milliseconds.
Unfortunately, I do not have the slightest idea how it works. But maybe I can look into that tomorrow. Kernel modules are a very good hint, thank you! <3
You're right, it might be some sort of fail-safe mechanism. But then, why just block IPv4 and not also IPv6? But maybe because the VPN and company servers require IPv4, there is zero IPv6 support. (Yeah, don't ask, I don't understand it either.)

@lyse Oh gawd. This is the point where computing stops being fun. š
- Can you disable the snakeoil junk temporarily? Probably not, eh?
- Have you verified with an external device that it really is your laptop thatās dropping the packets? Like, what does tcpdump on your router see?
If this works reliably in the office, then it feels like some kind of fail-safe mechanism of the snakeoil stuff. If it canāt see its control server (which might only be reachable from the office?), then it shuts down web traffic? Something like that?
Any idea how the snakeoil works? Maybe it does LD_PRELOAD magic to hijack syscalls like connect()? Does it use kernel modules?

@skinshafi Ah nice, it indeed fixed it. I don't get the warning anymore. :-)
@movq Congrats! :-) I still have to survive work next week.
Fuck me dead, what a giant piece of shit. On my Linux work laptop I have the problem that some unknown snakeoil "security" junk is dropping any IPv4 connections to ports 80 and 443. All other ports and IPv6 seem unaffected. I get an immediate "connection refused" when trying to estabslish a connection.
I had this problem four weeks ago on Friday morning the very first time at home. On Thursday evening, everything was perfectly fine. Eventually, I plugged in the LAN cable in the office and everything got automatically fixed. Nobody can explain what's happening.
Then, last week Friday morning out of the blue, the same issue was back. So, I went to the office yesterday and it got fixed again by plugging in the network cable. This evening, I have exactly the same bloody problem again.
What the hell is going on? Does anyone have any ideas? I'm certainly not an expert, but I don't see anything suspicious in iptables or nft rules. I also do not see anything showing up in /var/log/kern.log. Even tried to stop firewalld, flush the iptables and nft rules, but that didn't result in any changes.

a new emmanation of my trusty old vim config, now available as a home-manager nix module. now i can track my dependencies with nix instead of using git subtree and it makes installing backend programs like language servers and such way easier. https://src.ix.cyb.red/pe-vim/

@prologic got to say, after visiting castles, shrines, and similarly antique places in Japan... no comparison. :-) Wife agrees.
@prologic because of his decision to declare martial law (which attempted to ban political activity and censor the media), seemingly out of the blue.

@bender Facing impeachment over what?
@skinshafi it is limited use, for now. I read somewhere (can't remember now where) that efforts were being made to make it to function across all Tildes, but it hasn't gotten too far, so it seems.
@prologic the South Korean president is facing impeachment. The president declared martial law to protect the country from North Korea and eliminate anti-state elements. However, the declaration was seen as a response to domestic pressure and scandals. MPs blocked the declaration and forced the president to reverse his decision. The president's defense minister resigned and the president is now facing impeachment proceedings.
