You are referring to knowing the difference between shared pointers and unique pointers. That's the only way to screw it up. Yes, if you confuse a unique pointer for a shared pointer you screw it up. But if you don't know that one fact then you have no business coding C++ at all, especially since it is usually just a matter of sticking to using shared pointers all the time.

Wake me up when Qt is memory safe.

And if those fast food restaurants don't have people to hire, they will take other measures. They will close down the dining room and become drive through only before paying students a fair wage able to afford a full term of school or whatever.

*Looks awkwardly at the title of this story*

Everything we've ever created is "such a hack". It's the application of physics in ways to solve a problem. EAMR is no more a hack than changing the magnetic head orientation is. Or changing the size of the write head, or the material of the platter, or making heads aerodynamic. It's just engineering.

Based on the number of incredibly stupid posts we see online I don't see how you could give your fellow countrymen that benefit of doubt. No there's waaaay too many people who actually believe the shit they say. You don't need to fake an election when you have a dumb populace.

And by dumb I mean people who shout "Lock her up" in 2016 and yet vote for Trump in 2024. I mean people who are still looking for Hunter Biden's laptop. I mean people like at the top of this page, someone who claims that the Democrats banned several books, none of which were banned and all of which are still available.

The alternate reality is weird, and half the population seem to live in it.

Precisely none of those books were ever banned.

Be a better and more intelligent person.

I'm genuinely curious, while you make a good underlying point for which there is plenty of data to back it, why on why would you pick an example profession that has such an insanely low sample size, and a profession known for its mortality too. Seriously dude, we have huge aggregated datasets showing how average across the population there are improvements. WTF would you use an example subset of 45 people to make your case.

Cars aren't using machine learning. Learning is done elsewhere and a model is applied to the car. That model is equal across all cars where it's applied, no different from any other algorithm. Fix a problem in that model and you fix it equally in all cars.

It's still a correctable behaviour. Human behaviour is not correctable. The biggest improvements we have made in road safety is through systems that take away the requirement for human skill.

Skilled working visa schemes like H1-B are not about attracting world-class experts in anything. They are about attracting skills in specific areas where there may be shortages. The idea of raising the wage limit is a good one, but the reality is H1-B can be any speciality requiring a minimum of a masters degree. Heck there's even a cave out for fashion models to get H1-B visas.

This one will serve only to drive talent off shore. Imaging training people and then exporting that knowledge to another country by disincentivising working locally.

Yes because there are all those students who want to gut fish to put themselves through school.

Yes, but to be fair that's how things work in cutting edge world. AI LLMs in generic form are a bag of dicks, but on the flip side when we have alpha tested other products they've brought a world of benefits. The idea of testing cutting edge on employees isn't inherently bad, it just failed miserably with copilot.

I don't think so. I think it systemic of two things:
a) AI agents are actually not that good. They constantly make mistakes and hallucinate things. I've had Gemini provide citations that say the opposite of what Gemini summarised, I've had CoPilot screw up meeting summaries, I've had ChatGPT spit out absolute rubbish that didn't make sense.
b) Microsoft is desperate to rush this shit into the market unfinished. It's not just CoPilot. I've updates to Office 365 with active regressions that get fixed in future updates. Teams constantly changes, sometimes for the better, sometimes for the far worse (seriously why can't I stop streaming incoming video when I'm on a shitty connection anymore). I've uncovered serious bugs in Azure DevOps, it's just endemic to how Microsoft rolls out software these days.

It's a dual whammy of AI + crap supporting infrastructure. I don't think CoPilot is gimped on the onset, I just think it's not very good.

Precisely what did people get here? A security vulnerability automatically patched in the back end quickly with no evidence of exploit? It sounds like this was addressed faster than any windows server patch ever was, including past Active Directory.

I'm not sure what you're saying here, that we should all switch to the cloud because of how quickly the issue was addressed and how seriously Microsoft took the situation? I think you're trying to say something negative about a story that is actually a rather big success story for customers and Microsoft. Not the right platform for your rant.

Microsoft *SUCKS* at naming products. Not only new products, but confusing existing products. What the heck is Microsoft 365 by the way?
