result2vino··on RCE Vulnerability in QBittorrent
Yep. I hate to be this negative, but…Christ, security ‘researchers’ will really grasp at the most remote straws for a bit of notoriety. I’d respect this more if it were documented honestly. How it’s been done here however has just left me rolling my eyes.

Also chiming in to say…zero. A lot of this post feels…trumped up. There’s certainly something there, but “qBittorrent RCE”, whilst technically true, is alarmist.

And that’s the beauty of it. When has “simple is better” not ended up being true!? Whenever I read about ‘interest rates’ and other monetary policy blah blah, all I see is a group of people high on their own supply, all thinking that they’ve come up with something ‘cool’ and ‘smart’ and ‘elegant’. But, in reality, it breaks with some degree of regularity.

I’m sitting here waiting for you to close the sale on me. Who said anything about XML as the alternative!?
result2vino··on A new dental scam is to pull healthy teeth to sell you expensive fake ones
> even in places like NYC

would be curious to hear why this specifically surprises you. Is NYC your idea of a gold standard for honesty?

result2vino··on Ask HN: What do you think would happen if Google and YouTube split?
YouTube already wants to be more like TikTok, so, I’m not really sure what your point is.

You aren’t as wise and smart as you think you are. Perhaps people just have different preferences to you?

I use macOS and don’t really have complaints about the few Electron apps that I use daily.

“Electron bad!” is as much of a cargo culted snobby HN myth as “Macs have no RAM!”

Other than ease of set up, why would any one use this over training their own large language model from scratch using magnets?
