Once again tried ChatGPT and Claude for a simple programming exercise that’s very mechanical and both failed badly.
This time I tried some of the newer functionality — I pointed them at a correct implementation of a web API in Python and asked for a TypeScript version as a plugin to an open source home automation platform. Both hallucinated most of the web API instead of pulling it properly from the GitHub URL I gave them.
These tools are unfit for any task requiring accuracy, facts, or logic.

To say that this is obtuse to configure is an understatement. Anybody done this that could answer a few questions?
Firstly: I need to persistently set sriov_numvfs but sysfsutils is trying to do so too early. There’s no systems device unit showing up in the analyze trace to depend on.

Again, how is each connected? How am I to differentiate blank drives from each other? I can't go based on files already on them.

No useful answers on Google, of course. All the Shift-F10 "use diskpart” stuff still doesn't tell you how a drive is connected, but it lists a useless GUID for each of course.
Not a single problem with Linux/Proxmox or FreeBSD on this same hardware. The installers tell me how each drive option is connected. No problems with the SATA port multiplier either.

Case in point: I want to just run CPU-Z on this new box. I have a Win10 ISO on a Ventoy USB drive. The box has four drives in it. The installer doesn't tell you what drive is what just “0, 1, 2” and their sizes (all 2TB). It doesn't seem to see that there are two SATA drives beyond a SATA port multiplier. It fails to get past formatting and tells me to look at the setup log. What log? No log exists.
