...that will be a maintenance nightmare in future (when a human needs to read and understand what's going on)
I feel you brother. The assumption is that it will not be necessary to understand what's going on. As in "understand the code". Any problems can be just thrown back at AI and it will come up with the fix. Says my PHB.
Just like the old joke: if it doesn't solve your problems, you are not using enough of it.
Basically as we moved from pushing buttons for 0 and 1 to assembly, then to C, then to Java/Python/whatever, then to 4G languages
I'm myself in position of maintaining decades old software that happens to work most of the time (as in "99.99%") and brings in real money. My supervisor came, released AI on the project like a pack of wolves and now there is literally more then 20 times the number of classes, single line wrappers, classes implementing if() statements, interfaces with single implementing class, logs drowning in noise while useful log messages gone, diffs with thousands of lines that I should review and sing off, every tens of e-mails from AI describing what the old code flaws were and how they needed fixing, using terms that were never used in my domain,

The problem isn't what he says, but the fact that he is taken seriously despite what he says.
This reminds me of a viral video where a group of black soldiers gives AK-47 to a chimpanzee. They all are having great fun, until the ape accidentally touches the trigger
Trump is the same. Everybody is boot-licking, ass-kissing and tiptoeing around him only because he can press the red button anytime. That's why he is "taken seriously". Nothing else.

Submission + - Slackware 15.0 has been officially released (slackware.com)
We adopted PAM (finally) as projects we needed dropped support for pure shadow passwords. We switched from ConsoleKit2 to elogind, making it much easier to support software that targets that Other Init System and bringing us up-to-date with the XDG standards. We added support for PipeWire as an alternate to PulseAudio, and for Wayland sessions in addition to X11. Dropped Qt4 and moved entirely to Qt5. Brought in Rust and Python 3. Added many, many new libraries to the system to help support all the various additions. We've upgraded to two of the finest desktop environments available today: Xfce 4.16, a fast and lightweight but visually appealing and easy to use desktop environment, and the KDE Plasma 5 graphical workspaces environment, version 5.23.5 (the Plasma 25th Anniversary Edition). This also supports running under Wayland or X11.
For the first time ever we have included a "make_world.sh" script that allows automatically rebuilding the entire operating system from source.

Can't you do the same in a more standards-compatible way with CTRL+c, CTRL+v?
Let me guess: you think "Windows ways" == "standard way"?
Also: how do you copy from terminal? Do you override key combination to send interrupt signal? Or use "non standard" key combination?

What makes you think that it would treat packets arriving on the WAN interface any differently?
I'll gladly learn about the topic more. In my opinion the home router is a default gateway for the LAN so it is reasonable for it to accept on the LAN interface(s) any packets with source IP from LAN network. For any packets with LAN IP source and non-LAN-IP destination it should forward them to the WAN interface (while NAT-ing the source address). However there is no reason no accept any packet on WAN side that does not have destination address matching WAN IP. Just like there is no reason to accept and process packets with non-LAN IP source coming to LAN ports. Or accept and process packets with source or destination IP from private IP space coming to WAN interface.
That's just common sense to me. So are you saying that D-Link, TP-link, Zyxel, ADB, ZTE,

US Could Ask Foreign Tourists For Five-Year Social Media History Before Entry (bbc.com) 270
Analysts say the new plan could pose an obstacle to potential visitors, or harm their digital rights. Asked whether the proposal could lead to a steep drop-off in tourism to the US, Trump said he was not concerned. "No. We're doing so well," the president said on Wednesday. "We just want people to come over here, and safe. We want safety. We want security. We want to make sure we're not letting the wrong people come enter our country."

a) over here the video from the woman would be not admitted because it does not come from a certified device (e.g. the timestamps on the video would not be trusted). That is, of course, also true for the video used by the police. Unless it comes from certified cameras operated by the police, it should not be admissible.
b) in world of AI you can anytime generate video of you being 100 miles away from the crime scene. How is that supposed to be a relevant proof?
