Oh dude thank you for finding it again. I remember seeing this a long time ago and once I learned it, I completely forgot how to do the standard shoelace knot. This one was so much faster

I would actually bring a parallel to the device driver-firmware blob split that's common with hardware support in Linux. While the code needed to run inference with a model is straightforward and several open source versions exist already, the model itself is a bunch of tensors whose behaviour we don't have any visibility into. Bias is less a problem of the inference code and more an issue with the data it was trained on

And we're all the better for it! Needs polish and development of course, but it's a decent alternative already

I mean, leaving aside their surveillance tasks, it's still their job to ensure national security. It's in their best interest to keep at least themselves and their nation safe, and considering how prevalent Linux is on servers, they likely saw a net benefit this way. They even open sourced their reverse engineering toolkit Ghidra in a similar vein

If I were to guess, it would be the additional pins. USB-C PD is capable of decent power transfer while also having enough data transfer capability simultaneously. USB-C docks are a good example, seeing that you can hook up a display, charger, other USB devices, ethernet, etc and have it all go through a single cable and (compact, convenient) connector. The reversibility is an added bonus

Alright I'm probably the outlier here but... I like helping people with their IT needs, and I've always found the problem solving and praise kinda nice. Maybe it's just a me thing tho

YAMPA, hmm maybe i should make that

You can't tell me what to do, I'm gonna focus even harder on the meme!

weeeeeeeeeeeeee!

You would probably get a feeling of déjà vu.
