Comment Re:Regression (Score 1) 21

Also MS has a sneaky habit of reusing fix numbers, and sneaking in fixes willy nilly, so the number of patches does not look that bad. The Justification is to make it harder for hackers to see what was fixed. Unfortunately on darkweb, that is already done. Most lawful security experts do not have the time to troll forum's down the rabbit hole at their employers expense (or arbitrary budget).

Comment Regression (Score 2) 21

So far MS has offered no excuses for the regression of multiple high severity fixes. This guy is reinforcing honesty and accountability. Some think MS can afford code reviews, duty programmers and people who can read dumps and backtrack. No lazy 'just the minimum'. In my day the author of the defective code, had other code reviewed and fixed. Sounds like this is not being done either. Fear not, AI will soon learn and target the commit tree by the weakest coder, by date of inexperience.

Comment Natural Justice (Score 1) 23

The term Natural Justice and Jurisprudence already exists. Ever been summarily fired by HR without your side of the story being listened to first, where the outcome was decided before given a chance to comment, or summarily ignored anyway. At least in the British legal system, the punishment is severe and can not to flicked to to unaccountable persons. The remedy is RESTITUTION and that can be costly and severe. And Injunctions can happen fast! I understand in USA innocent people have been jailed after extradition by the most grievous DMV photo matching. False positive's are there, always. I hope juries hearing bleating, award at least treble damages and more.

High severity bugfix regression was also disclosed. And has occurred several times. MS has not made a statement how this could have occurred. Its looking like managers get a bonus for not not properly dealing with the big ones. Or that Agile is afoot - yeah we tried, and ran out of time. All is good, no-one is likely to look.

Comment Palantir Technologies (Score 1) 123

Sure, one bets USA will not allow a Chinese firm to collect Palantir data scraped off the internet and the phone carriers and other places. Actually UK is in a pickle because Palantir has mined UK citizen data, possibly medical records too. It is no secret that data fusion can get to Stasi levels. Or that Epstein related records are NOT being joined and mined like they could be. The scary part is that a dollar value has not been placed on risk, human rights etc. Seems the money is on suppressing persons who disclose problems that need fixing.

Comment Re:Revenue Raising using AI (Score 1) 177

One way of getting even with firms or fines misusing AI is to file subpoena's of a million questions, generated by AI, and say you object, and will specify grounds when the subpoena has been fully addressed. Very effective against debt collectors who bought your CC debt (including how much did they pay, and who did they pay, then discover the names behind the nameless shell. Very effective against unqualified respondent's rubber stamping things without careful consideration.

Comment Revenue Raising using AI (Score 1) 177

The trouble with AI is that it is being used to raise revenue and cheat people. Fines fines and fines . Flock cameras. Building and construction permits gone crazy. Saturation commercial's. Never mind wholesale privacy brokers, because it is safe to assume your data has already been stolen and misused. Middle AI evils are limits on age, Election Ad's, disparaging politicians and little painters against AI generated parody. The is evidence of mainstream media whitewashing human rights violations. Harmful AI is mining social media selectivity and using AI to make unreviewed judgements, including workplace performance (and trying to cut off any human appeal process - that is no natural justice at law). Negligent AI is not using AI to tar and feather shonk contractors that are responsible for building defects galore, including on the spot fines from digital photographs (funny how traffic infringement's are the opposite). Fake AI is using AI to describe expert systems, and deem prototypes as 'finished', and otherwise 'trusted' or deemed 'authoritative' with no audit, ever. A chatbot is not AI but a predictive LLM.

Comment Business Rules (Score 1) 59

Correct coding is not development. A complete set of Business rules are required. I have seen many Agile projects try to re-create business rules. AI so far cannot 'Document all the business rules using the Cobol and DB2 structures with change history' AI cannot do law, because law is different everywhere, so Judges and Lawyers needed. Let me scoff when they say the law is codified! Many aggressive companies are ending customer service, and dull witted non-empowered drones with phone scripts. Many a lawyer files a writ when customer service fails, and the better lawyers sting 5K off a $30 billing error. AI is yet to make filing easy, but it is coming.

Yes mostly true, but free amazon postage often makes a big difference in countries with high postage rates - unless you do a lot of sales. mom and pop outfits are going going gone... Now many ebay sales come from China, as ebay has much lower rates there. Aliexpress now has an AI engine that works better than its lame search.

Many people know recent cars have too many powertrain defects (some common to the big 3) , but for now pretend cost cutting. 200K is not bad on a good day. Dealers are unhappy about lack of spare engines, and being paid next to nothing for huge complicated jobs. (See Daves Auto for instances of dealer reluctance ). Established car makers have had a lot of uncle Sam subsidies and handouts. BYD is now making mini RV's to suit the homeless multitudes. Ready, setty, GO.

Comment Making Windows 11 More Insecure (Score 2) 86

Every unnecessary line of code compromises security. In a professional environment like government, police, law courts, lawyers - should not be playing games. Now graphics drivers have a lot of privileged level 'glue' . We do not want ports or memory exposed to garbage collection browsing or salvaging. Size wise Windows 11 is obese, dripping with lines of code vulnerabilities. Corporate needs to remove LOC that serve no good purpose.
