Submission + - Cognition emerges from stealth to launch AI software engineer Devin (venturebeat.com)

Submitted by ahbond
ahbond writes: The Doom of Man is at hand,

It will start with the low-hanging Jira tickets, and in a year or two, able to handle 99% of them..

'Today, Cognition, a recently formed AI startup backed by Peter Thiel’s Founders Fund and tech industry leaders including former Twitter executive Elad Gil and Doordash co-founder Tony Xu, announced a fully autonomous AI software engineer called “Devin”.'

In the short term, software engineers may become like bot farmers, herding 10-1000 bots writing code, etc..

Welcome to the future.

Cheers,
Andrew.

Submission + - SAP "named-user" license fees are due even for indirect users, court says (networkworld.com)

Submitted by ahbond
ahbond writes: Beverage firm Diageo could be on the hook for an additional £55 million in license fees because it gave Salesforce users access to data held in an SAP system. SAP's named-user licensing fees apply even to related applications that only offer users indirect visibility of SAP data, a U.K. judge ruled Thursday in a case pitting SAP against Diageo, the alcoholic beverage giant behind Smirnoff vodka and Guinness beer.

The consequences could be far-reaching for businesses that have integrated their customer-facing systems with an SAP database, potentially leaving them liable for license fees for every customer that accesses their online store.

"Business are signing up to an open-ended direct debit which they can't withdraw from. It's really not surprising that many are now choosing the certainty and low cost of Google and Amazon Web Services"

Submission + - MIT researchers discover "metabolic master switch" to control obesity (bizjournals.com)

Submitted by ahbond
ahbond writes: The meme of the chubby nerd alone in the basement may be a thing of the past. Well, at least the chubby part, if recent work at MIT pans out and we're able to use a biological 'master switch' to "dial-in" a persons metabolic rate.

"the uncovered cellular circuits may allow us to dial a metabolic master switch for both risk and non-risk individuals, as a means to counter environmental, lifestyle, or genetic contributors to obesity.”
