Shame on Euro supermarkets for centralizing temperature settings. It's well known that no networked computing is secure. For $100 HW each store could set/monitor/manage freezer/chiller temps and water-spray times. But, no ... they saved a nickle ... only to lose a $20 bill . That's a stupid as having software that runs your business operate from a central ... oh wait ...

"The models knows what goes into a scheduler." The AI models know nothing ... they learn nothing ... they produce no novelty. Not even as much as a drunkin ant stumbling across an alcohol-soaked paper sheet. Multiplexing by a mechanical Turk does not create novelty.

"There is no 'only' defense. Indeed, programming skill and attention to detail will, by itself, fail."
Am I wrong, or is "networking" at the heart of 99.9% of computer security issues ? That "only" defense is certainly promoted by "air-gaping" and local-admin of all computer function: one factory one computer ... two factories two computers etcetc. More people and more expense; major AI & SaaS companies screwed?

"To claim you have already lost when using those measures is to claim that only code with years of tireless review like NASA's near flawless software is good enough."

Earth based data-centers interfere with grouse barons and brook trout streams, both of which are much more important for human well-being than data-mangling heat generators.

Lots of buzzwords, but do any of those "tasks" need to be performed. I somehow manage my own home Debian systems W/O using any of those buzzword-tasks. I do avoid make-work automation, as such increases the "fault surface". Even granting "needs", are any needed tasks performed better using the JapeChat mechanism ?

Fortunately I don't use XCode often, but when I do it's so annoying. It's very much one of those things where you feel like they are doing certain things differently purely to be different. We've pretty much got a standardized IDE concept that is widely adopted across many products - everything from web-based IDEs for Microcontrollers to the developer tools in a web browser (and of course everything else from the Visual Studio products to JetBrains). But XCode just has to be different in its own ways, which hurts productivity.
But then I still have a very bad taste in my mouth for XCode / iOS development from creating apps back with iOS 2.0 when it was a pure nightmare to do all the provisioning and signing and everything else through a convoluted process.

To be fair, both coins and keys are phasing out very quickly. I'm in my 50s, and besides when I'm driving my 1987 Suzuki Samurai, I don't carry keys or coins. I know our kids don't carry anything whatsoever besides their phone in their pocket.
