  • certain 2-parters are counted as 1

    this explains the total of 170

    a handful are credit only

    as a main cast member he is in the opening credit sequence of every episode, which explains IMDB saying he's in every one.

    but how/where did you arrive at the number 163? i only arrived there by seeing that Memory Alpha lists 160 character appearances (which I see now does single-count Emissary and presumably two other two-part episodes) and then checking the mirror universe episodes to see if there were any without the Chief in them (and finding two) and then remembering Far Beyond the Stars.

    anyway i guess either of the numbers in the meme could be correct, but not both at once: 163 is correct if you double-count three two-part episodes, and 170 is correct if you single-count them. 🤓

    (and the numbers in my first comment are inconsistent in the same way.)

  • Fucking Chief Miles O'Brien appeared in 163 of 170 episodes, Dude

    For one thing, there were 173 episodes of DS9.

    And while Colm Meaney does appear in 163 of them, he is only portraying Chief Miles O'Brien in 160 episodes: in Far Beyond the Stars he portrays Albert Macklin and in The Emperor's New Cloak and Through the Looking Glass he only portrays mirror universe Miles O'Brien.

    I am curious where the creator of this meme arrived at the number 163, since IMDB incorrectly says that Meaney is in all 173 episodes.

    good meme nonetheless

  • This Phishing email... What is the IP?

    Jump

  • It's good to see someone in this thread who knows what an IPv5 address looks like:

     
        
IPv5 addresses consist of four hextets a 16bit each.  For the visual
representation, those grouping are used.  The hextets might be
written in decimal, separated by dot '.' characters, or as
hexadecimal numbers, separated by colon ':'.

    It's long past time to start replacing our IPv4.1 deployments!

  • im not sure how easy it is to get LLM’s to output near-verbatim

    the more relevant question is how easy it is to be confident that they aren't. (and the answer is: you can't)

    i dont want “using AI” to be used to undermine my efforts

    😭

    what you see is the result of the typical software development process

    note that many free software projects have had to establish rules explicitly prohibiting LLM contributions precisely to avoid the issue of plagiarism, as well as the related issue of copyright infringement. (and of course, code quality is another reason to...)

    you’re the first to give any pushback on it

  • given the fact that LLMs' outputs can include verbatim or near-verbatim excerpts of their training data, how do you justify placing an open source license (or more generally, any copyright claim of your own) on source code you've "authored" using one of these automatic plagiarism machines?

  • I am using AI to do this so its important to be clear that im not asking you to audit or review my vibecoded project. While i have made attempts to create things like audits and formal-proof verication, i know better than to trust AI when it tells me its working correctly.

    Sharing it now if there is feedback about the implementation. Anything i may be over looking? Feel free to reach out for clarity on any details.

    Did you write this post using an LLM too? You say that you are "not asking you to audit or review my vibecoded project" and then in the very next paragraph request "feedback about the implementation".

    Here is my feedback: stop trying to vibe-code privacy software.

    i know better than to trust AI when it tells me its working correctly

    if you know better, why are you continuing to do it, and to post your outputs here?

    what's the goal?!
