I found my front door lock was not working.
I called a locksmith to come repair it.
Now it is working.

I didn't fix the front door. The locksmith did.

The headline and the summary don't seem to quite agree here. The AI analyzing code to identify vulnerabilities is not the same as fixing i.e. writing new code to patch those vulnerabilities.

Untold billions in outright fraud were uncovered. Want to try again?

The US sent Ukraine about $100 billion, what does it take to be properly armed?

That is not exactly correct. There is a reason they are called "tariffs" not "taxes."
Tariffs can bring in revenue, but they can also be used for public policy, and trade policy.
For example, let's suppose a country imposes on tariff of some US goods, and the president immediately turns around and imposes tariffs on some of that countries goods. The tariff is not for revenue, it can be to tell the other country to back off.
There are a million reasons a president might want to impose tariffs. It is a tool that can be used for all sorts of negotiations.

Gas prices were still on average lower under Biden?
Gas prices are temporarily up because of a war with Iran, that has gone on all of 7 weeks.
Not long ago, gas prices here in Colorado, were as low as $2.12 a gallon.
I am certain that if you averaged it out, fuel prices under Biden were much higher.

Obviously illegal?
Other US presidents have imposed tariffs, why is Trump treated differently?
But, speaking of "obviously illegal" Joe Biden, in brazen defiance of the US constitution, forgave student loans. The case went to the Supreme Court twice, and both times SCOTUS upheld that Biden did not have that authority. But Biden did it anyway, and bragged about.
Makes me wonder who is the dickhead doing things "obviously illegal."

Well, yes. Where do you live?

Back in the day lots of people did. Because there was no built in browser to use before IE came out. And pirating it would require getting a cd from someone else, and cd burners weren't a thing yet. Your options were use AOL with whatever they had built in on their cds, or use Netscape which you'd need to buy.

I had a Zip 100 (SCSI), a Zip 250 (SCSI), and towards the end I got one of the low-profile USB-powered drives. I didn't ever get the click of death. Actually I still have all three of them in storage now I think, and since one is USB I might be able to theoretically recover any data I have on disks still. Zip drives were great when I first got into it since my PC at the time was a Mac IIsi with a hard disk of only 120 Megabytes.

Shakespeare, I think.

According to the article in scienceblog:
- The Body Makes Its Own [fructose]
- Does fruit cause the same metabolic damage as soda?
-- No, and the review is careful on this point. Whole fruit contains fructose, but it also contains fibre, flavanols, vitamin C and potassium, all of which slow fructose absorption or blunt its downstream effects. The dose is also lower and the delivery slower. Fizzy drinks, by contrast, deliver a concentrated fructose bolus fast enough to overwhelm the small intestine’s protective filtering.

If tickets were an auction, the problem would instantly solve itself. You could even still have a secondary market for last minute buyers. And the extra revenue would go to the venue/artists, rather than a random scalper.... if those even exist anymore. I expect it's more likely Ticketmaster themselves selling them as resell at a 3x markup.

Interestingly, I was in a lab yesterday and met a PhD student whose thesis was largely about using LLMs to fake fingerprints and retinal scans.

Sounds like this will reduce the diversity of package management - which will help enormously with the problem of multiple Linuxes (Linuxen?) because users won't keep being told that moving between Linuxes is as complex as moving from Amiga to Mac or DEC VAX.

As for running Windows code without you having to give permission on each an every occasion in triplicate, signed in blood - this sounds like a totally unacceptable security risk to me!
