Not to mention that United Airlines is a private business, which means it's not just a question of what is legal anyway. United also has a fair bit of latitude in terms of what is considered acceptable behavior on the part of its customers (passengers).
From TFA:
We found a Red Hat employee's GitHub account was compromised and used to push malicious orphan commits directly to several repositories, bypassing code review entirely. Those orphan commits contained a workflow file (ci.yaml) and a script (_index.js).
That nugget really should've been in TFS.
Then they wouldn't be cooperating on marketing with Microsoft.
If you have a NVidia GPU that is no older than five years then it already contains a number of RISC-V microcontrollers doing various tasks, and so will this chip.
The grid has been forced to change faster than the operator would have liked it to in many places, which is a good thing.
In the main, although the Spanish national blackout just over a year ago suggests that maybe it changed too fast. (Hard to use a stronger word than "maybe" because my understanding is that the report on the causes didn't really say anything).
We are a republic for this reason.
No, you are a republic because your founding fathers, probably ascribing James III more power than he really had as a post-Glorious Revolution monarch, decided that head of state should not be a hereditary position.
Whitespace is a HUMAN affordance for a HUMAN audience. If you think it looks kinda okay, that's all that's needed.
There's a bit more to it than that: consistent whitespace means that version control diffs contain relevant changes and you don't need to filter out the changes that just remove some spaces from the end of a line. This is also really a human affordance, but while there are humans in the loop either approving changes or needing to understand when something changed, it's a valuable one. And there's a general principle here which is directly relevant to LLM-generated code, which is that until LLMs have minimising the diffs as part of their goals they're going to produce diffs which take a lot of effort for humans to review.
Any time there is an unexplained phenomenon, it was alive and about to swallow everyone whole.
... or about to have babies.
... that modern system administrators will use when they want to tell their children scary stories. But this isn't a new problem, and the posited idea that before AI there was some "oral tradition" that rendered this a non-problem is laughable.
The past few years, I've had to deal with a lot of code + configuration files that are poorly documented or not documented at all. Some of them are occasionally commented... but often with references to non-existent entries in the team's wiki. I'm sure my predecessors MEANT to make those entries, but you know the saying about the road to Hell and all that...
Yes, when I look at these files I can usually determine what the particular person did. But, if I'm at the point where I'm looking for documentation, it's likely because *why* they chose to do it that particular way seems inexplicable.
and I can relive those heady days of my youth, playing Trek on a PDP-11/70 (and wasting copious amounts of tractor-feed paper)!
When autonomous agents can interact with each other globally, what could possibly go wrong?
Of course, that's something they can already do - this new project just proposes a new standardized framework for doing so.
I wouldnt say it was "Sorted Out" - I had to sell my home - it was that or end up bankrupt and homeless - and still unable to work due to the burnout it caused. The house sale was traumatic in itself and i had to borrow off family until it the sale completed. The positive i suppose was that we had enough to just about clear the mortgage and move to a cheaper home in Wales. Though - it has no kitchen and needs a lot of work doing to be properly liveable. An amazing view though and no mortgage or rent to pay.
Gamers are a fickle bunch and speaking as someone from inside the industry there are still some that can be very mouthy and entitled when they dont get what they want. Larger companies with public IPO also have the press to deal with - bad news affects share price. There are certain dates throughout the year eg : christmas , easter and other public holidays where new updates and releases are expected. Things cant go out the door buggy, and if they do the punters get upset and the press report it. If features get cut to meet deadlines that doesnt pan out well either. All of these things are a sign of bad management and planning but also sometimes shit does just happen. I dont know if what the solution is to appeasing all the expectations of gamers and the press - but Im personally a beleiver in promising less and delivering more. Crunch culture sucks, it burns out developers fast - were usually not paid proper overtime and free pizza and cake isnt healthy doesnt make up for the long nights time after time Over time that gets refelected in the product.
Just chiming in - I went through a year long ideal , also in the games industry i worked for the company in the UK that make a well known space exploration and trading game. Id been there nearly 11 yrs. Covid and lockdowns provided a stock surge 10x the current price. When the bubble broke they had a management reshuffle - and shed over 200 people. Similar problems with the return to work policy also. I can only assume that since id been there so long the payout would have been quite sizeable - thats when they tried to sideline me and bully me out - I fought them with IWGB for over a year, there were discrimination issues due to my disablity which they were exploiting. IWGB helped me get a settlement, i could have got more but the year long fight burned me out (im still in burnout) and i couldnt stick it any longer to take it to a tribunal. Just wanna say - even if your company doesnt officially recognise unions , you are still legally protected and if you find yourself in an unfair situation its well worth having them by your side - you are entitled to have them represent you in any meetings and there isnt much your employer can do about it.
Example, my 17 pro is pretty big and heavy, so you end up gripping it every time you pick it up. But with the extra buttons on the sides you end up engaging something you didn't want. So then you menu-dive into system settings just to turn off extra buttons.
This has been a problem ever since the iPhone 6, when Apple inexplicably decided to move the on/off/lock button from the top of the phone over to the right side, directly opposite the volume buttons.
That's gotta be one of the stupider things I've read about someone doing. Are you sure this guy wasn't from Florida?
The primary function of the design engineer is to make things difficult for the fabricator and impossible for the serviceman.
