  • Safer.

    Whilst the speed of discovered vulnerabilities and resulting mitigations has been exhausting for all of us, most of those existed before AI and it’s likely that some were being actively exploited already, perhaps for years.

    Nation state actors have long been known to have long lists of zero-days and some of those will no longer be available. At some point, this will level out as we patch decades of poor decisions - humans have been making mistakes in software long before LLMs joined the party.

    FOSS is getting more attention since the LLM audits can see the source. We don’t hear so much about commercial closed source software’s bugs, since they tend to quietly fix them to protect reputation.


  • I’ve also been taking 5v on esp32 and esp8266 pins for years without any issues whatsoever.

    The article also claims DS18B20 are happy with 3.3v - technically yes, but if you have any long runs they are much more reliable at 5v. Yes every time I refer to a LLM when wiring them, it constantly makes the same point this article does, which is that dividers must be used. I think that lends weight to your claim that it’s AI written.

    Even if it isn’t written by AI, it’s certainly written by someone with very little experience on the subject.
