When the pace of bug discovery overwhelms the capacity to patch, and the discovery tools are available to... well, everybody... doing any business online is fraught with peril.

Kinda sounds like the online businesses need to start being financial contributors to ensure they are not relying on flawed software.

Besides, bugs are finite.

Mythos found only one low-severity vulnerability in Curl, with experts debating whether that is a failure of the AI model or a testament to the open source data transfer tool’s maturity.

After the machine learning model has been trained, identifying a person reportedly takes only a few seconds.

Alright, so first you need machine learning to model a specific area in a stable condition on people and then you can identify them... only in that specific area because all areas need to be trained differently. Furthermore, signal interference can impact results.

It's good work but it's a non-threat.

I ask myself why schools don't just start an hour later

Because parents have to go to work, and after-school programs have a set schedule.

Of course, employers and after-school programs could also adjust their start times for the seasons, and we could agree to switch those start times on the same day.

But that's just reimplementing DST.

Why not? What's holding them up?

The Antarctic Treaty (of 1959) designated Antarctica as a scientific preserve and bans military activity, nuclear testing, and territorial claims, while promoting scientific research and international cooperation. As such, to travel to Antarctic you must obtain the permits through a recognized tour operator or your country's government. This means it non-scientific activities in Antarctica aren't really a thing... unless you want to go to jail for being a dumbass.

Submission + - The world has 6 months to avert major food crisis, says UN (politico.eu)

fjo3 writes: The closure of the Strait of Hormuz could trigger a severe global food price crisis within six to 12 months unless governments act quickly, the Food and Agriculture Organization warned Wednesday.

Decisions now by farmers and governments on fertilizer use, imports, financing and crop choices will determine whether food prices spike later this year or in early 2027, the agency said.

"Start seriously thinking about how to increase the absorption capacity of countries, how to increase their resilience to this choke, so that we start to minimize the potential impacts," FAO Chief Economist Maximo Torero said in a podcast published Wednesday.

The Linux community still responds to Microsoft as it was 30 years ago.

Oh, I'm sorry, did Microsoft stop being a publicly traded corporate hellbent on profiting regardless of the cost it has to other people? I just want to be sure because you seem to be making that case.

Today, MS don't make the money on Windows, they make it on MS 365 and Azure. Which means they don't care if you use Windows or Linux, as long as you use their online service.

So you're telling me that aren't using underhanded and deceptive tactics to push their own agenda? I could have sworn they were pushing the Edge browser really hard and integrating copilot into everything but, I guess if you say none of that matter, then it's all OK.

You need to stop the Embrace-Extend, Borg Linux etc comments. It just shows ignorance.

Let's be real, you're here waving a banner of naivete like they aren't plotting and scheming new way to try an take more money from everyone.

Look at their actual track record.

OH, I HAVE. These assholes have been trying to interfere with every facet of our lives. Do you think they give out free licenses to universities out of the kindness of their hearts? Did they try to get every school to require students learn to program because they think it's a skill they will honestly need? Are you truly so stupid as to believe such things?

You have deluded yourself.
