If you donâ(TM)t use it, download Visual Studio Code and install Roo Code plugin. I think that may change your mind about vibe coding. Access to your codebase, and less fettered access to an LLM via API is a game changer. Disadvantage: it isnâ(TM)t free, but itâ(TM)s damn close. An entire feature in my python project materialized in minutes, with code for automated tests and even updates to markdown documentation that I didnâ(TM)t specifically ask for. Itâ(TM)s not foolproof by any means. It still needs review, but itâ(TM)s so much faster than me puzzling through the design myself. And all that for under $1.00.

I was really impressed (and terrified) at how the NSO Group's zero-click iOS compromise used an embedded virtual processor similar to what was achieved here in Minecraft. Evidently virtualization is all the rage these days. Who knew? https://googleprojectzero.blog...

I wonder what the implications are for VMware, et al, supporting Windows VMs on Apple silicon. VMware indicated their Fusion product supports Linux, but had been in a holding pattern until Microsoft announced what their level of support would be. Sounds like it'll be Win11 only?

As an employee of IBM, I'd take the comments from Alliance@IBM with a grain of salt. Alliance@IBM is a group of employees whose agenda it has been to start an IT workers' union. The people Mr. Conrad is likely to be talking to are therefore probably pre-disposed to being very anti-upper management. Mr. Moffat's M.O. is as an axe man, and a pool of employees who's reactionary response is to oppose any kind of reduction in workforce, no matter how necessary from a business standpoint, is hardly likely to have an unbiased opinion as to the sentiment of Poughkeepsie's general population towards Mr. Moffat. Alliance@IBM doesn't even represent a majority of IBM employees, much less the population of people from which a jury would be built.
