Kentuckian here, that visited a few years ago (was lucky to have *fantastic* weather for it, severe clear, visibility for like 100 miles), and I, at least, continue to call it Denali.

The products of #AI aren’t subject to copyright. Does this mean organizations who are vibe coding have no intellectual rights to the results? I’m thinking the answer is yes. If I’m right, I now wonder if these organizations have considered this… or have they been too caught up in the hype?

I think there are two basic takeaways from that value. One, as someone else so eloquently put it, "straight to hell". Two, as soon as you walk outside from air conditioning, your glasses will fog over. (Maybe a small part of "straight to hell")

That breaks using IP literals in URLs, no? Admittedly not a common use case, and a reasonable decision for a home network, but maybe not realistic broadly.

The first thing is "backward compatible" with the second.

I agree.

The worst I've ever run into is Juniper generated JSON docs from state data. Ie, like what you'd get from 'show interface detail | display json'

Ah yeah, if you're talking about how to define the model to match, then that's worthy of some exploration.

Does your pydantic model not match your json structure? Because if they do match it's only like 2 lines of code.

I mean, obviously 1st century Christians in Jerusalem had a god-given right to own an AR-15.

I'm in the "high 30s in the shade is shorts weather" camp, but I recognize that I'm very much in a minority for that. πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™‚οΈ

So, I suck at self-promotion, but I'll be giving the main talk at the summer KYNUG (Kentucky Network Users Group) meeting.

The talk will be, "Eight Networking Hot Takes". I believe baskets of tomatoes will be available for pelting (not really).

It should be a fun discussion!

I'm with Bart, I'm pretty much using uv for everything Python these days, even doing a quick 'uv init' for quick ad-hoc scripts. He's got some stuff in this thread for converting from poetry to uv which is awesome...I just never did much with poetry so don't have any projects needing to convert.

I would like to see a similar ruling based on the officer creating the very danger that they use as a rationalization for their actions, but I recognize that wasn't argued/briefed in this round.

Stand back! I know Python and Pandas.

Even at that, tho, it'd probably be pretty heavy.

If they're just commencing the class, that's not a long time to finish this year.

Why is it called commencement, anyway?

I love how your hobby leads inevitably to another, playing the game of, "What's this company named now?"

Cheers for a fellow techie (open source/Linux/Home Assistant) named Jeff that's also a volleyball fan.

It's getting a little bit uncanny.

I'd love to collect another *NUG t-shirt, but that's a bit of a hike for me.

Just think, you'll get to have that same conversation again when it's time to move them out, with the added discussion point of how much it'll cost.

They've been doing this for 20 years, I assure you they're aware of the implications.

Consider the amount of mud and such that won't be left behind and need to be removed. That alone probably makes this tactic worth it.

Why do technology vendors want to restrict who can get access to their product/service documentation? I may not be a customer, but it seems to me that, if your product/service is any good, *anyone* knowing more about your product/service is a good thing.

Are they ashamed of their wares?

Yeah, regardless, it's bizarre, hard to figure out, and I see how it could be a pain for you

It doesn't look like it's even by shipment, tho (necessarily). My last order had two items in a single box that were listed on separate "orders". And another box with items that were on the same order as ones of the items in the first box.
All in the same "checkout" on their website.

Sheesh.
