All this.

The systemd people have at last delivered the secure operating system they always promised.

By this, they mean locked down.

From TFS:

Because there is no package manager and no SSH or interactive shell,

So, pretty much useless in most environments. And for people who are doing their own development, do you really want to give Amutable/Poettering a peek over your shoulder and possibly veto power over your project? Anyone that didn't see this coming in the early days of systemDunce deserves everything they get.

The LLMs have injected enough training data that they can find something that looks rather close to a problem that's been solved once before and use that in most cases. It won't be perfect, but a human can usually tune it from there. I'm not sure if I'd trust a security audit from an LLM because they're incapable of doing actual analysis and rely on past data that's going to be heavily weighted towards saying that something is good. That may have been true in isolation, but not when the LLM has combined two pieces of code in a way that creates a vulnerability.

It will be interesting if the role of humans in software development shifts away from writing code and to verifying its correctness. There will still be a need for some human developers as no matter how good an LLM gets it can't produce output that wasn't a part of its training data. For computer games, there's a lot of repetition and getting one to spit out a 3D game engine isn't hard when it's been able to train off of thousands of examples. I'd say that building a novel experience for a what it would struggle with, but it seems that most people buying games largely want more of the same, so perhaps that's not a problem.

Microsoft has just laid off thousands of human developers across dozens of studios who were costing them money for very little in return. Even if the AI is not as good as what the best humans are capable of, Microsoft didn't have those people anyway. Maybe the AI doesn't save them and they're screwed either way, but as long as someone is making games that people want to play, the industry will be just fine.

Comment Streisand Effect (Score 3, Insightful) 32

Trying to suppress anything almost always has the opposite effect and makes people not only more interested in finding out what is being hidden, but also far more likely to believe that it's true.

It's usually far better (from the insidious side's point of view) to either ignore it completely or co-opt the messenger.

How many students are still doing that? Everyone living out of town rides a school bus and everyone in town has street lamps if they're not also getting on a bus. If everyone is that worried about it, move the start time for school so that it's light enough for kids who might be walking.

Let each school and community decide on a policy that works best for them instead of forcing everyone to use the same stupid system.

Comment Exodus (Score 2) 24

It might be too soon but the Exodus Technologies third-order Coulomb devices (IIRC) are built for this kind of very low impulse long duration lifiting.

Getting a rig up there to clamp on to the Hubble is probably the hard part of the project.

High-impulse propulsion is more likely to damage it than low and slow.

This was during the "NJ Drone Flap".

Trump was on TV saying he'd been briefed on them and the drones were "tracked back to their garage".

Last thing he said about it before his FAA said "they were authorized, we're not explaining, stop asking".

Matthew Livelsberger said they were of Chinese origin.

Robert Hastings wrote an entire book on unidentified craft over nuclear facilities covering four decades of documented incursions.

The FoIA request sounds like good data but nothing new.
