Before WordPerfect, the most popular work processor was WordStar. Now, the last ever DOS version has been bundled and set free by one of its biggest fans. ^KS
I mean, it's right there in my initials!

Well now, maybe George R R Martin can finally finish the books people have been waiting years for. I'm not one of them, the only author I read/listen to with 1000 page books is Stephen King.
Also, the other two authors mentioned in the story are both "pinin' for the fjords".
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.

Windows SmartScreen and Smart App Control both have weaknesses of which to be wary How is it possible to outsmart it? There's "Smart" right there in the name.

And that's why I avoid "Smart" thing like pest if I can
as in "I bring a lot of staff that nobody asked for and I have to developed so fast to keep pace, that nobody gives a crap about security, performance and / or robustness

Elon Musk asks court to void Microsoft’s exclusive deal with OpenAI. Obvious joke is obvious

Is that really so difficult?

What a weird ride. I'd only vaguely been playing along.
I like Musk's defense against the robot overlords even if I don't generally like him very much at all.
But AGI? They're talking like models should/could/would ever be conflated with AGI (artificial general intelligence)?
They're almost definitely a component, but I'd say models will only ever be a component of AGI. They are not themselves anything but fancy spreadsheets.

Dravid (DRD) is an advanced, AI-powered CLI coding framework (in alpha) designed to follow user instructions until the job is done, even if it means fixing errors, including installation issues. You got your AI in my command-line!

Microsoft is making security its top priority, and employees will now have to start delivering. That's one way to get their attention (hopefully)
Yeah, kind of reported already, but it's now official

If intelligent civilizations exist out there, they may not rely on amounts of energy that would make them visible to us. They're playing peek-a-boo

I saw a meme a couple of years ago:
Frame 1: Aliens are viewing Earth society during the reign of Egyptian Pharos and hieroglyphics. Their comment is "no written language, we'll give them more time to advance."
Frame 2: Aliens are viewing the Earth today and see all the emojis. There comment is "no written language, we'll give them more time to advance."

A new “State of software security” report says application code is “drowning in debt”, where debt is defined as flaws that remain for longer than a year, and that AI-generated code is no more secure than that written by humans – but it adds that AI trained on common software weaknesses (CWEs) can accelerate code fixes. Time for Raft#
"The worst, by some measures, is Visual Basic 6 (VB6) – long deprecated by Microsoft but still running business-critical applications. " <-- the gift that keeps on giving!
I was considering going with "One - Something's got to give", but decided that was too many degrees of separation.

Having written in VB6 I know you could write secure code in it. However, many of the ActiveX controls were about as insecure as they came. Even Microsoft's ActiveX controls were riddled with security issues.
