Depends. Security is and never was only bug free software.

If no attacker reaches system X you are not as exposed as with your internet facing frontend.

I worked with Cisco products over 30 years, I don't expect much from experience.

They run everything in AWS ;)

This is the real question here. So much panic right now.

Strange. In the article Tao mentions several mathematicians who had their problem solved by AI before they could finish their year long work.

Where they working on "slop"?

Am, this is 80% Indians with most of them from India.

Well and I didn't even started to work there. So I win this morale contest.

It always sounds like those old guild masters ranting about the new factories: “Well, obviously, real quality craftsmanship can only ever be done by hand. Anything else simply isn’t authentic...”

"Hacker news" and all top commenters are bashing the tool used, in a standard brute force attack. Go on shut them down... And then forbid Linux and maybe the hacker also used Bash. So also forbid this. And the hacker probably learned its ways in an online forum, so also close all of those down... Clowns.

I dont understand either. Maybe depleting budgets of competitors?

Same here. Most of the bots didn't even load anything besides the html, no js execution, no clicks...

Mouse-click (left) and turn the mouse.

The old net is still there to a degree, but we live in pre-Alta Vista times again. It is hard to find. (I know as I run an old-school Forum and RPG-Game for more than 20 years now.)

All. People forget hiw performant the LAMP stack is.

And you do not notice that you do.

You couldnt put ads that easily in rss feeds.

We've seen the start with "hydration breaks" and a 30 minute half-time.

AI is just a tool and it not even matters how you use it.

Optimizing for the last microsecond and then use Python?

Why?

A simple trade off. Guaranteed malware from microsoft, or potential attacks that you can mitigate with firewalls, airgaps or Anti-Virus software.

Maybe this is the AI layoff wave we'll see. Sorting out incompetent team members.

Check your /memory

If you would be honest, everyone understood that this is a work around that us not there to last.

And what happened after Napster? Filesharing totally stopped, right?

With the chinese in the mix it wont stop ai. It probably will change Copyright.

You sound like: "Why would anyone need more than 640KB RAM?!".

In other news: water is wet. I genuinely don't understand how anyone is still pretending otherwise. Server-side rendering is so much easier to deliver in a performant way, yet it feels like it's being increasingly forgotten — or worse, actively dismissed as outdated. Out of convenience, more and more developers keep pushing logic and rendering onto the client, as if the browser were an infinitely capable runtime. The result is exactly what this article describes: bloated bundles, fragile performance, and an endless cycle of optimization that never quite sticks.

Why are "thousands" of requests noticable in any way? Webservers are so powerful nowadays.

How many requests per second do you get? I also see a lot of bot traffic but nowhere near to hit the servers significantly, and i render most stuff on the server directly.

But serving HTML is unbelievably cheap, isn't it?
