AI-assisted development is now the norm - 78% of survey respondents currently use AI in software development or plan to in the next two years, up from 64% in 2023. That's strange, measuring developer productivity has always been so easy in the past

New paper counts "excess words" that started appearing more often in the post-LLM era. Death to meatbags?

In modern software development, immutability is a powerful concept. "I can't change, I can't change. But I'm here in my mold."

But, I was assured that open software solved security problems (that didn't exist on Linux anyway.)

In a survey conducted earlier this month of firms using AI since early 2022 in the Richmond, Virginia region, 45 per cent said they were automating tasks to reduce staffing and labour costs. Try not to be shocked

Not all, but many will end having big problems and let see if they survive the next 5 years.

In recent times, open-source developers have been met with an uptick in receiving debatable or, in some cases, outright bogus CVE reports filed for their projects without confirmation. Are read-only bugs still bugs?
Posted not so much for this particular incident, but how it seems to be an example of a new attack on projects: file a security report on them. Like swatting, but for code.

If they can't hack it, better "take it down" by all necessary means, so that people download another one that got hacked

Russian hackers who broke into Microsoft's systems and spied on staff inboxes earlier this year also stole emails from its customers, the tech giant said on Thursday, around six months after it first disclosed the intrusion. That's Microsoft's job

They must have used Linux, otherwise MS would have immediately known about them.

Any hacker who reads my emails would probably die of boredom.

The decision to withhold Apple Intelligence from EU countries amounts to a “stunning open declaration” of anticompetitive behavior, according to the bloc’s vice-president and competition regulator Margrethe Vestager. They were looking forward to suing Apple for anti-competitive behavior for shipping Apple Intelligence

"We decided not to compete in this market."
"That is anti-competitive!"
"What?"
|
|
|
|
|
"If you don't compete in this market then who will WE compete against?"
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.
I’m begging you for the benefit of everyone, don’t be STUPID.

The list of withheld new "features" is telling as two of them are aimed specifically at the Apple market as Android has had screenshare and mirroring for a while. This sounds more like Apple is throwing a fit instead.

In other news, the EU parliament passes a law allowing forced sales in the EU of any product elsewhere, under penalty of law.
I forsee that the next step will be Apple leaving the EU market completely.

Probably...
They should try the same with META.
I might probably miss Apple, but I would definitivelly not miss the other
