I had a few friends get completely hosed by the infamous app update.
I was always suspicious of the platform. Since it just didn't bother with any sort of interop.
When they sorta bricked all installs in one move I did laugh. That was the ultimate in bad releases. Clearly no one bothered to even review the Test Plan let alone the results.
I will never sign up to anything that smells of vendor lock in. Oracle, Salesforce, Microsoft, Are the kings of this.
a doozie to debug
I find a ton of issues with locking down/securing platforms at the Enterprise level.
1. Surface area, There is just way to much tech debt out there. Business rarely go back and pay this down. The costs are enormous. All of this tech debt needs to be secured at an ever increasing cost.
2. Almost non-existent secrets management. I will forever find important secrets embedded in config / git / orchestration etc.
3. Logs rarely secured and properly setup so that sensitive info doesn't leak out. Developers forever turning on debug and not telling anyone.
4. Low levels of network segmentation. This allows attackers to laterally move about the network with almost no controls to stop them.
5. Supply chain attacks increasing everyday. With little put in place to monitor and threat analysis of these external dependency.
6. AI coming in and eroding the checks and balances of reviewing changes. With AI I'm also seeing a loss of pre-prod environments. I'm even seeing straight to prod be the pattern of the day.
7. Exec teams having zero clue what AI is actually doing. I see a lot of people thinking AI systems are bullet proof.
Overall a loss of IP is the most concerning at the moment.
What a lot of people forget is that AI is creating a larger surface area. It's unlikely that all of the work put into legacy software is being replicated in AI software builds. This means that there are likely more opportunities in financial software for "hacking".
Of course as this article points out. With AI it is far easier and quicker to "hack" So it's bad on both ends.
Retirement funds which hold enormous amounts of funds are likely early targets.
Secure your accounts with 2FA as quickly as possible.
Ancient Rome made amazing aqueducts. One day they had built all the ones they really needed and with no new projects for a new generation to learn from, they quickly just forgot how to make aqueducts.
"Big Tech" is now entering this phase. In a generation all innovation will be gone.
900$ for a base model with 256GB SSD is pathetic.
Then make it retroactive. Donate the proceeds to the victims of this program who had to train their replacements.
Most of their revenue is from the cloud, but they still want Linux off the desktop.
MS couldn't give 2 shits about Linux on the Desktop. It's a tiny and irrelevant market share to them.
Not in 2003 it wasn't
Does anyone actually have any evidence PJ was a real person and not just a persona created by IBM's PR department? PJ appeared mysteriously, exclusively posting stuff supportive of IBM's position in this case. They never turned their attention to any other litigation. It's awfully suspicious. You'd think a real person who knew that much about the relevant law would have opinions on other cases as well, and you'd expect them to market themselves using the fame/goodwill generated with Groklaw. You'd also think they'd have done at least one interview, or you could find at least one person who's met them. I'm not saying anything posted on Groklaw wasn't true, just that it always seemed like a very successful IBM PR exercise to me.
Her name is Pamela Jones, she was a paralegal. She's done real interviews in the past. She was/is real!
Given that we live in a "market-driven" society, the correct conclusion is that companies are refusing to properly compensate skilled workers.
With executive pay at all time highs and the gap between executive and workers larger than ever, I would agree. This is a failure in the system where boards of directors are not holding executives accountable. The system can't hold for long.
Well. It would be a bit like the roadster launch into space. Experimental rocket, so great if it works, not bad if it does not.
That said, intercepting an orbiting satellite safely is a hard task.
The baby killers always lie. Absolute scum of the earth
"Japan is preparing a nonbinding "comply or explain" code that would urge generative AI companies"
This has no teeth whatsoever
You sound like an idiot
So powerful that Claude requires a billion little hacks to be optimized so as not to use ridiculous amounts of tokens. The programmers are so good they can't build those optimizations into the model to begin with.
AI was supposed to resolve these issues, not add to them. Claude is the worst offender of them all.
