We bust persistent myths about migrating your workloads to a large cloud provider like AWS. "It is better to have your head in the clouds, and know where you are... than to breathe the clearer atmosphere below them, and think that you are in paradise."

Interesting depth review of go-cloudy issues.Quote: THE REALITY: Migrating to the cloud is a complex process that calls for subject matter experts with deep cloud technology expertise to manage the project. A successful migration requires an experienced team. Ideally, those individuals include a migration solutions architect, data architect, cloud solutions architect, enterprise architect, and IT or DevOps engineer. Those are specialized skill sets, and while one person can wear many hats, the roles are not interchangeable. Of course, this, and the rest of the article, are a promotion of Redis amd AWS (the authors' employer) as being uniquely able to take on these challenges.

Following a wave of layoffs and stagnating pay, dissent among some of Microsoft's workforce is breaking out against CEO Satya Nadella after he thanked them for their contribution to the "landmark" fiscal '23. Since cancelling all your raises, the company has done great!

And this, folks, is how you reduce headcount without layoffs.

In a recent interview with Peter H. Diamandis for the Moonshots and Mindsets Podcast, Emad Mostaque, the founder and CEO of Stability AI, made a bold prediction: “There will be no programmers in five years.” "News had just come over, we had five years left to cry in"
Or, I suppose: "Where do you want to be in five years?"
I think this is going to go down with all the accuracy of, "There is no reason for any individual to have a computer in his home"

"Mostaque’s argument is supported by data from GitHub, which reveals that an astounding 41 percent of all code currently in existence is AI-generated."
How that is possible? He counts tool generated code, too, or AI is doing the same thing over and over?
|

I was wondering about that too.
AI has been writing half decent code for about a year now and in that year it apparently wrote almost as much as humans have done for the past 70 years or so.

Microsoft has denied the claims of the so-called hacktivists “Anonymous Sudan” that they breached the company's servers and stole credentials for 30 million customer accounts. So...29 million?

And then they wonder that I want to install my PC offline without binding it to an account...

Google updated its privacy policy over the weekend, explicitly saying the company reserves the right to scrape just about everything you post online to build its AI tools. "There is evil there that does not sleep, and the Great Eye is ever watchful."

Great - so generative AI will be feeding us conspiracy theory crap. The AI will need an AI to filter out the BS.
Then again, the tin foil hat crowd will soon enough have an AI that will feed you only lies, superstition, conjecture, false science, hearsay, and general pure fiction.
Oh wait.

They don't need an AI, they already have Farcebuk and Twater among others
And they won't (sadly) get out of ideas

A few months ago, a dentist referred me to an endontist for a root canal. To go to my appointment, I first had to "sign-up" - meaning fill out their online forms, etc. For me to fill out the forms, I had to consent to an 18 page list of conditions including medical sharing, privacy, etc. as if I was going to read and understand all that garbage. Privacy policies are a joke. There is a very common tool many doctor offices use now that runs on some sort of tablet. Yep, the s/w company that supports the tablet forces you to agree to the collection of data. I don't think doctors are even aware of this.
Googles move is anticipatory of the lawsuit just filed against ChatGPT. It also explains why most support sites are no longer open to google.
