Dude what works on computers, oft wishes he'd been a plumber instead, and will answer to "Tincho."

Or should we say - the path is made by routing? Either way, happy MikroTik day, friends! Thank you for walking the path with us! 😍

There are so many valid criticisms of AI, so why make an anti-AI post with a citation link that shows the claim made in the post to be false? Isn’t generating text not supported by the apparent citations supposed to be the AI thing?

From Hoare's Turing Award lecture, 1980:

"The first principle was security: … A consequence of this principle is that every occurrence of every subscript of every subscripted variable was on every occasion checked at run time against both the upper and the lower declared bounds of the array. … I note with fear and horror that even in 1980, language designers and users have not learned this lesson. In any respectable branch of engineering, failure to observe such elementary precautions would have long been against the law."

Now, if the IRIS DENA had been sunk in Indian or Sri Lankan waters, there would be some other issues in play, since both India and Sri Lanka are neutral powers, but the sinking happened in international waters.

Particularly annoying to me is seeing people talk about Laconia. They're often not actually right about the Nuremberg decision (see link for that), and they're skipping over the reality that interwar international law on this was a dead letter *before* the Laconia order because the Allies ignored it. Nimitz actually submitted an affidavit in Doenitz' defense, and he wasn't the only US submariner to do so.

My time in the US Navy was a long time back, but they were pretty blunt with us: in case of hostilities, enemy submarines were under no obligation to rescue us, and if we survived a sinking and didn't make a life raft, you'd better be able to keep afloat. We did a lot of training to cover this.`

{sarcasm}It's amazing how many people have suddenly become experts on customary international law on armed conflict at sea after IRIS DENA was sunk.{/sarcasm}
