There are too many ways known to attack SHA-1. Why can't they at the least use SHA-2? Even better, go straight to SHA-3.

"Make America healthy again"; unless it's bad for business.

I dunno; it seems to have worked for smoking. Use and demand fell massively, social approval vanished, now pretty much only losers smoke.

It could be argued, but that would be pretty silly, as the demand is clearly there to begin with, and couldn't really be any larger.

iRobot and Amazon say EU approval was the problem. Not sure if they had a specific reason to be selectively truthful and focus on only one of multiple regulatory hurdles; but they don't mention the US.

It also looks like the sale is basically formalizing their plan to gut themselves. Shockingly enough; firing everyone you can and switching to rebadging stuff from an ODM because that's cheaper puts you in "what would you say you do here?" territory pretty quickly.

So ... super cheap code monkeys are being replaced by LLMs?

There really isn't any other way to read that.

... on fake-Twitter, and Youtube. At least if we go by the /. summary, lol

It's not unreasonable in and of itself.

The question is how it will be applied. Is it going to be just random bias against LLM assistance, or is it just going to be reasonable code quality standards? (Which ... should have been in place anyway?).

I'm amazed that 16% of respondents feel in control. I'm just curious if they know something I don't about countermeasures to take; or if it's a matter of what they don't know.

The prior non-core items were optional and relatively clearly marked; but when they decided to go 'AI' that went out the window. Being able to grub around in about:config for anything that has 'ml' in it does, depressingly, put them ahead of the options of some of the competition; but it shipped on by default and without controls in the normal-user UI. Seems like 'AI' really does something to the decision making even of people who should know better.

Kodak's demise is a little overstated just because they have been reorganized several times; and 'Kodak' is sort of the dump entity. There are still a variety of applications for being competent at thin film chemistry, including semiconductor fabrication, just not so much making 35mm film. So Eastman Chemical got most of that. And some of their medical and otherwise higher-end optics and imaging stuff also got spun off, with the business of not terribly optically interesting cameras under heavy threat from apathy and cellphones left at Kodak proper.

They certainly didn't do desperately well; or they'd probably be somewhere more along the lines of Sony in terms of 'who builds CCDs worth disclosing the provider of?'; but the reorgs appear to have been aimed at separating the more viable business units from the liabilities. Probably so the latter could be tied to the pension plan.

I don't think "US tech" is really the problem here:

The target has relatives back in China. China says play ball, or your sister gets it.

... is that it consumes standardized, structured text, has a consistent UI, etc.

This sounds ... like not that.

Well, actually, yeah, if he's not a citizen.

Why should we continue to tolerate a criminal guest?

It's unsurprising; but I see that the law has several stages of dealing with foreign overcrowding if the 10 million line is breached; but nothing about how locally produced human resources will be stack ranged for headcount reduction should the population remain above the target. Surely anyone who really cares about crowding needs to have a contingency plan for endogenous losers as well?
