My internal metric is always "Plaid." Not that hard to measure.

I'm a bit cynical about it.
My bias notwithstanding, isn't a Gitlabs based survey a bit pre-disposed to being lopsided here?
It might not be where all the folks using AI are, but it's near certain to be where all the folks doing anything with making/using it really heavy would be?

And it probably still not fast enough for management.

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."

How would you use immutable collection in thread safe scenario?
The creating a new instance of the collection (presumably - it says it works like string)... but in the thread safe scenarios I may have dealt with, it's been that I wanted to have a single shared collection across those thread instances.
Maybe I misunderstand how it works and that's just 'taken care of' with a locking object and a 'root collection' under the hood?

After recent updates, Microsoft Photos on Windows 11 takes longer to launch, but Microsoft has a solution. Latest from the rocket surgeons

Microsoft: I have a few ideas for you. Send me money, and we'll get right on them! We'll make things faster!

Great, one more thing to slow down Windows startup.

LOL, they asked AI for possible fixes and that's what it told them.

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.

1790: so what this new machine going to do?
I will allow 1 person to make fabric as fast as 10 people
oh, what will the other 9 people do?
I don't know, but I will pay you 1.2% more
1980s: what do you mean we don't need the lino type machines any more.
Oh we also only need like 1 out of 5 people to do this new machine and get even more newspapers made

Computer scientists: We've invented a virtual dumbass that is wrong more often than not.
Tech CEOs: Great, let's replace our staff with it!

Probably says as much about the current staff as it does the CEO, right?

I'm probably just getting old and crotchety but I am not a fan of this whole AI hype thing.
There are arenas where it's surprisingly useful, but people want to employ it everywhere.
Fortunately, if it's anything like other tech bubbles it will eventually burst and at least some sanity will carry the day.
