“First, you can be forgiven if you're surprised that the Orion spacecraft (which was carried to space by the Artemis II mission) uses Microsoft 365 software.

However, NASA has been standardized on Microsoft's suite of software and services for years, using the platform across productivity, collaboration, and, yes, communication. The agency even uses Copilot, though it's not clear if the AI has had any part in this mission.”

Submission + - Jaguar EV thermal overload in the battery

An anonymous reader writes: Jaguar EV owners frightened to drive after fire safety warnings issued for thousands of cars

“A vehicle thermal overload condition, such as fire or smoke, can result in increased risk of occupant injury and/or injury to persons outside the vehicle, as well as property damage.”

‘The company has urged people to park away from buildings and charge their cars outside until they get an interim repair, which restricts the maximum charge of the car to 90 per cent.’

Comment Mitchell H. Katz, MD swallows the AI koolaid (Score 1) 89

Like “The Cloud” was going to get rid of the in-house computer department, this AI kool-aid is going to massively fail to deliver. A useful tool as long as it is applied in specific use cases and verified by a human. In this case, since you've fired all your radiologists and AIs are prone to hallucinations, you can't be sure its diagnosis is accurate. You would get lots of false positives or false negatives, with no one left to verify the results.

“While future research is needed to assess broader applicability, our findings demonstrate that visual cues reminding consumers of meat’s animal origins can meaningfully influence real-world food choices and add to a toolkit of interventions aimed at encouraging more ethical and environmentally-sustainable food choices.”

Steven Sinacore: “On the ground the reactor is off. There's no radiation coming from it. It doesn't actually turn on until you're up in space, and that's where the radiation comes from.”

ClippyAI: “The system uses high-assay low-enriched uranium (HALEU) oxide fuel with heat pipe cooling and a closed brayton cycle converter and boron carbide for radiation shield.”

“The community pushed back hard on this one. The Arch maintainers are holding, Canonical backed away, and Artix Linux, the systemd-free Arch derivative, issued the clearest statement: they will never require any verification or ID.

Yes, the issues are the underlying technology is defective.

Security controls such as MFA, endpoint protection, and deep packet inspection are compensating layers added atop an inherently unsafe computing substrate. Their very existence shows that the underlying architecture fails to provide strong isolation, integrity, or trust guarantees by default.

Modern systems still rely on large, complex TCBs (Trusted Computing Base), expansive privilege hierarchies, weak memory safety, and legacy compatibility constraints. These systemic flaws make complete prevention of compromise unrealistic, turning security engineering into a perpetual exercise in mitigating platform defects rather than eliminating them.
