Tories, in particular Steve Barclay and Rishi Sunak

They do what makes money, or what they think will make money.

The UK government does whatever Meta tells them to do. We tax cigarettes because they’re bad for you. Let’s tax algorithmic news feeds.

It isn’t fair, but few rackets are.

No floppy disk. I guess they didn’t actually kill it with the iMac but they certainly facilitated its death.

The powers that be decided to quietly drop it because they’re not willing to come out and publicly support it.

The government could make time for this and they could tell the lords to do one. They just chose not to.

So you don’t think any of this is down to not enough staff and poor training?

How long until Macs come with preinstalled bloatware?

Good luck with that. GitHub stars is literally a criteria VCs use for funding.

Are you American? US cinema culture seems very different to the UK (the only other place I’ve been). In the US it seems much more the norm to react to the film, in the UK generally folks sit in silence.

Becoming a joke is the one think that could end the GitHub monopoly.

The point appears to have whizzed a couple of feet over your head.

If it is, it’s not a good one. I just thought “You moron”.

Amex uses 4 but sure it ain’t a lot. Enough to stop this attach though.

Oh okay, so this is why Amex launched the online card in the app that changes the Cvv2 every few minutes.

Correct. But why doesn’t the AI just say that.

And it’s not the junior’s fault when they do it either.

Have some controls in place. Don’t rely on nobody being dumb enough to do X. And that includes LLMs.

Seems like they’ve already reached the point where they’ve forgotten how to think.

When I did mine, it was mandatory to get BCS accreditation for the degree to teach some professional ethics.

I don’t know if that is still the case though, I’m not sure how relevant BCS membership is these days, I don’t know anyone who has it.

Why not?

It proves that at least some of the bugs exist, not that you need “new thing” to find them or that they even used “new thing” to find them.

There was a story the other day about others finding the same bugs with qwen.

My fridge has it

No they complain about ipv4 because they’re worried about layers of cgnat introducing latency which for gaming is bad.

Xbox live has had it for years because ipv6 means no nat and lower latency. It’s been there since at least the 360.

I don’t know why you’re downvoting, it’s a fair question based on the above comments.

Wait what, they took donations to pay a team to build a mail client and had them build an AI thing instead? Or have I got that wrong.

Guess you didn’t read it.

AI is certainly getting a lot of milage as an excuse for doing bad things.

Wanna sack a load of staff? - AI

Wanna cut your consumer products division? - AI

Wanna take away the source? - AI

Getting the requirements right was always the hard part. Hence agile.

Then don't use it in those environments. Agile is not a silver bullet, nothing is.

Yeah, astonishingly wrong in just about every way (except race). If anything, I think I'm less worried than before.
