Never used them because their software wasn't open source, and thus meant I would be unable to switch to another provider. Seems I made the right choice.

Our findings suggest structural deficiencies in the ParticleDB QA process. Perhaps tests were not run prior to release. Perhaps the test suite was run, but failed to exercise basic functionality. Perhaps engineers entrusted Large Language Models with the work of testing.

Could this be related tot the increased import taxes in the EU? They increased the taxes on small individual items (previously exempt) from outside the EU which drastically increases prices of items bought from Temu and Aliexpress. I recently looked for some Zigbee sensors on AliExpress and it was significantly more expensive than before (but still much cheaper than the dropshippers in the EU).

This will negatively impact the trout population, I think

Huh, checked out their profile and you might be right. Ironic that most of their recent posts are about AI

I've been following r/decomps recently. Several times a day someone posts a new AI-generated decompile, seemingly by AI agents sent off on a mission without any guidance, effort, or proper setup. I expected the tools / harnesses to develop first before seeing results like this. It's insane that models have these abilities while still being based on what is fundamentally just text generation.

Had an English teacher that would consistently use that phrase while explaining grammer etc.

Sure glad to hear the coup plotter's son wasn't elected
