I will admit that I had a dark idea that you were serious.

And if you fuck up wifi you fuck up so many things, including lots of local equipment that makes small networks to connect equipment on a table. I'm not a expert on this in particular but I'd be shocked to see folks do it

Also it's sort of ... People kinda overestimate what it means to jam this kind of comms.
Anyways wifi mesh is still fucking awesome as a high data rate backhaul in any sort of disaster. It's shockingly capable.

The precursor belief was "ReiserFS is okay free Hans" and then it was "suckless is good" and it turns out advocating for new things is hard so from there it was all "systemd is bad" and everything that's changed for the better in Linux since 2005 is actually a woke plot.

If anything LLMs are becoming *more* reliant on high level programs and compilers. And it's just undeniable that for maximum performance, runtime optimizers are the *only* game in town now. None of these have any meaningful contributions from current or upcoming AI tech.
