I taught Gemini how nose-picking works. They owe me!

Being from India is not to blame, it's being clueless and distant about the business at hand. The worst software I have made is when I didn't understand the domain side.

Iran also abused advertising technology used to serve tailored ads to cellphone users,

The Soviets used to say, "The capitalists will sell us the rope we'll use to hang them."

space ships and stations get a much higher amount of external radiation than Earth...and they needed to make sure it wouldn't interfere with the scans.

Just tape the film-stock on your leg and stick it out the window, free x-ray source.

I can't find it because your grep is not working ;-)

Good question. Their POWER series of CPUs were not insignificant in capability, their chip designers were clearly technically sophisticated, and GPUs are just specialised vector processors with a few extra bells and whistles - stuff IBM is extremely familiar with.

It would not have been difficult to release a GPU or other LLM-specific processor to go along with the POWER11. They'd been working on the POWER11 for 4 years, they knew in 2020 that LLMs had a strong potential to be significant for Big Data processing - an area you use big iron for, they're not rank amateurs, they have plenty of reserve, they could have assembled an emergency team to build a vector processor that was custom-designed for just LLM work, and released an LLM processor card that could run circles around nVidia.

They didn't. Because, as has happened before, their management is simply too stupid and too slow.

and fix known bugs. Search can some later. The "Backroom" panel that interrupts Save operations is an example. I want to see File Explorer and only File Explorer, not your damned Spam Panel!

Even if the bubble bursts, AI will still be radically more powerful in a decade

The bottleneck may be training data, only so much can be wrung out of it even with hyper-training. Until bots actually understand shit, this may limit them for a good while.

What if...

Someone (say someone who was familiar with doxygen and GCC) developed number of comment types, where some stipulated preconditions that must be true for the function to run correctly, postconditions that must be true once the function has run, kernel facilities that the function definitely needs, and kernel facilities that the function definitely doesn't need. These would all be optional for any given function.

A static checker could then validate if the code meets the behaviour expected by the programmer. This is precisely what is done in SPARK, a fork of Ada for high-reliability code. Combined with existing static checker capabilities, this would greatly increase the number of bugs that could be caught with all kinds of tools, AI included.

It could ALSO build a full fine-grained mapping for any fine-grained mandatory access controls system. You'd also want includes that you could import for precompiled libraries. This would allow someone to verify if the code was making unanticipated/undesirable calls but would also make SELinux possible to develop for at the application level.

It would not be trivial. If it was trivial, it would have been done simply because it already IS done in other languages and that makes it "obvious" to anyone who has been programming for a while. However, it should not be massively complicated, simply because you can use AI as the static checker. Once it has a definite set of bounda that must be satisfied, it should be much more capable of knowing what paths would violate those bounds. Which means that the checker stage essentially is trivial today, leaving only the markup stage.

The current world is as if somebody freed all the Batman villains to run the companies, government, and wars.

It's monkeys flinging poo on the front page.

Very wealthy monkeys.

Or immigration in general.

"Groundbreaking" never was MS's forte, they typically let startups test ideas and then buy or swipe an idea when it catches on.
