You see this as a bad thing? This is a hell of an achievement and it's really impressive. And so you know, a lot of the CVEs were code fixes not just to windows but to open source projects which Linux depends heavily on, such as web browser engines. So, if you want to go down this path, I think you should also say "shouldn't the entire non-Microsoft infrastructure be embarrassed that Microsoft has to clean up their mess?"
Consider this, if all of this is being found and fixed by Microsoft, where are all the fixes for other platforms? Are we not advertising them? Are we keeping the vulnerabilities secret? Do you honestly think that Safari is on par with a web browser engine developed by multiple top companies? What about Firefox? How vulnerable is that and we don't even know it?

More people need work
More people are creative about what to do
More people see other people needing better tools
More people make better tools
More people become more efficient
Less people are needed for the existing jobs
More people struggle to find more creative ideas
Market demand in every major sector can be met without more workers
And here's the real kicker. The best place to find jobs right now is in making better tools... which reduces jobs.

Jensen Huang to college grads: "Run. Don't walk" toward AI
https://www.axios.com/2026/05/...
Nvidia founder and CEO Jensen Huang told graduates at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh yesterday that demand for AI infrastructure is creating a "once-in-a-generation opportunity to reindustrialize America and restore the nation's capacity to build."
Why it matters: With many college grads fearing AI could obliterate their career dreams, Huang pointed to boundless opportunity as a "new industry is being born. A new era of science and discovery is beginning
Nvidia, which makes AI chips, is the world's most valuable company. Huang told 5,800 recipients of undergraduate and graduate degrees that the AI buildout will require plumbers, electricians, ironworkers, and builders for chip factories, data centers and advanced manufacturing facilities.
"No generation has entered the world with more powerful tools â" or greater opportunities â" than you," he said. "We are all standing at the same starting line. This is your moment to help shape what comes next. So run. Don't walk."
"Every major technological revolution in history created fear alongside opportunity," Huang added. "When society engages technology openly, responsibly, and optimistically, we expand human potential far more than we diminish it."

And
Assume PCIex4 v5.0 for the interface. That's a theoretical 15.75GB/sec. To read this drive sequentially would take 4.25 hours.
This is so slow it's absolutely useless for AI. Assume for a moment I loaded 8 of these into a 1u chassis. 800Gb XDR InfiniBand would be too slow, a double link would work. But you would be better off building half-U trays with four drives and an 800Gb link.
That said, let's say you had half a rack of that. That would be 48x245TB or about 12PB. And remember this is performance storage, not reliable storage. Everything here should be treated as entirely volatile... it's just cheap/slow RAM, it's not bad.
I think overall, I would architect a similar system on 64TB sleds because with the exception of rack space and power (and the drives use no power next to GPUs), 64TB drives destroy 245TB drives in every way.
Once we hit PCIe v9.0 or so and 4Tb Ethernet or InfiniBand, then 245TB will start making sense.
If Micron wanted a serious product, they would have dropped U.2 in favor of Ethernet or InfiniBand.

If you have one or two good engineers (not programmers, not developers... honest to goodness engineers) who with AI can keep 15-20 tasks running simultaneously (the cost is GPUs and screens), you don't need to hire someone right now.
Companies want the best they can get. They don't want to fill seats anymore. If they already have a few developers, the LLMs are increasing their productivity 10-20x (yes, real engineers who learn LLMs and how to use them as though they're programming languages get that kind of gain), then they can hold out.
Here's a great one for you... I would never hire anyone without a great GitHub now. I want to see projects and I want to see both hand written code and LLM generated code. I want to see external projects they've patched to see if they can work on other peoples code. I want to see student/professional projects (things with deadlines) AND fun projects.
I'm in no rush. I will post a job, if I don't find someone great, I'll change the posting and wait again. LLMs will give me the buffer I need.

OpenAI released shit models as open source and OpenAI and Anthropic are junk without gigantic caches from mass economy. The model is far less important than the cache. So, if Anthropic actually opened anything it would be junk too.
And I think the Pentagon should be legally required to make their own models. I think that depending on external companies for their most important technology is idiotic. The government should own and operate their own drone companies and their own AI companies. They should not legally be allowed to use outsiders that are easily influenced by external entities.
