Teens in particular are naturally shifted to later sleep and waking. Thinking back, I don't have much memory at all of high school before 2nd period. Not surprising, I was on my feet but still practically sleeping.

It was mostly people in northern states in the darkest days of winter.

I was in 2nd grade in the southern U.S. the year Nixon had us stay on DST for a while. My friends and I really enjoyed the change. It was dark(-ish) when we walked to the bus stop, but we got to take flashlights to school (much more exciting when you're 7 years old!).

You missed the key word "usable" Daylight hours while people are stuck in a dingy cubicle are not usable. Daylight hours after work are.

Except they keep blowing past school busses with the stop sign out and arranging caravans in residential neighborhoods.

They're called AI, but in Arizona, there is a law that if you drive into water you will be billed for your rescue. It's known as the "stupid driver law".

So apparently the Waymo is driven by Artificial Stupidity.

These are purpose built single occupant DCs. It doesn't get any stickier than that. Google doesn't even visit their DCs when a server fails. They just power it off remotely and power up a warm spare.

Odd, the ones I have been in to do work on "my" racks, it wasn't uncommon for me to see nobody at all (not even a guard) the whole time.

Just row after row of servers doing their thing. Sometimes I would see the manager or a tech updating something.

Assuming that no plant ever goes offline for any reason and that there will be no other growth in Kenya ever.

That costs money. They were hoping the locals would foot that bill for them.

How many data centers in your immediate area? Are they the modern high density data centers with thousands of GPU units per rack or the old school 4U's in a rack supporting a few websites kind of data center?

As for employment, when is the last time you saw a data center that was bustling with human activity once construction and move-in was finished?

That was a joke! backhoes breaking fiber is part of the natural order.

That's why you should always carry a length of fiber with you. If you ever get stranded with no cell service, you can just bury the length of fiber in the dirt. When the backhoe guy comes along to break it, ask him for a lift.

Typically when using those tools, not every "issue" found is actually an issue.

It does nicely illustrate that AI may do a deeper scan, but not necessarily a better one.

There are existing rules based scanners for websites. Running one on any typical site will easily spit out more than 100 flagged issues. Some "consultants" will dutifully hand that report over and call it a day, but if you actually go through them, most if not all aren't even actual security flaws. Yes, if I POST data that includes the correct username and password, it will grant me access just as if I had filled in the login form. So what? Yes, if I give an invalid account number, it returns a page with (non-)error code 200. The page says "Access denied".

That isn't to say the AI tool is bad, just that it represents an EVOlution, not a REVOlution.

How will the automated ditch digger be sure to find and break the fiber cable?

I've heard the music that AI can produce. The run of the mill one hit pop stars are seriously endangered, but probably not actual musicians for fans with any level of sophistication (admittedly a smaller market).
