GL.iNet MT-6000 Flint2 Review
TL;DR The Flint 2 seems to be a pretty awesome router. It was a little fiddly to set up my (quite complex) existing VLANs and wireless networks onto it, but it’s been working without a hitch since then :) Why? I’ve had a Draytek 2866ax router paired with an AP960C access point for about 18m[1]. […]

Bullshit Baffles Brains
It’s right there in the title. If the word offends you, just stop, now. TL;DR Generative AI is a bullshit machine, but that’s fine because we need machines to do the bullshit jobs. Military Grade Bullshit I first heard the phrase ‘Bullshit Baffles Brains’ in my early days in the Navy, and I would hear […]

AI MacGuffin
I’m increasingly hearing AI talked about as a MacGuffin… It could magically solve this thorny and expensive problem that’s been intractable for years. We all just need to geek a bit harder, buy (or rent) more GPUs and scrape together some better training data… In this context AI cannot fail, it can only be failed, […]

Failure of Imagination
The Spectre and Meltdown bugs have been billed as a ‘failure of imagination’, where the hardware designers simply didn’t conceive of the possibility that a performance optimisation might lead to a security vulnerability. I personally find this a little hard to swallow. The very first time I came across side-channel attacks the first thing I though […]
