There's an urgency for 'thinking about development from the lens of the user experience first, and solution second,' says Cisco CIO Fletcher Previn. And round those corners!

As much of an impact as ChatGPT has had since its launch in November, a prominent computer engineer believes we’ve only seen the tip of the iceberg. But nothing can stop Bing!

A few days ago, speech AI startup ElevenLabs launched a beta version of its platform that gives users the power to create entirely new synthetic voices for text-to-speech audio or to clone somebody's voice. Well, it only took the internet a few days to start using the latter for vile purposes. I think I first heard George Washington complaining about this

Nobody is motivated to buy a development tool when the marketing pitch is “leverage synergy.” Try not shouting "bingo" during the next meeting with marketing (or management)

I actually did shout (not loudly as the room wasn't that big) bingo in a meeting at my previous job. The VP couldn't say two sentences without buzzwords. It took less than five minutes from the start of the meeting to having multiple rows and columns filled in.

I think a list of marketing buzzwords that developers like would be alot easier to maintain.

What about the nounification of verbs?
You don't have a Ask, you have a Question.
You don't have Spend, you have an Expense.
A verb is something you do, not something you have.
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.

Using telescope data that was first collected in 2016, the machine-learning algorithm analyzed over 480 hours of data from 820 stars and identified eight signals of interest that previous algorithms had not detected. "There's others. I found one already. Series of transmissions recorded over a period of eight years, in the nineteen-seventies. Centauri system."

A new study asks ChatGPT to find bugs in sample code and suggest a fix. It works better than existing programs, fixing 31 out of 40 bugs. Does it fix more than it puts in?

In this article, I will look at the current state of WebAssembly (wasm). I’ll start by revisiting 2022 developments to see if any of my predictions came true and if there were any surprises. Then I’ll try to predict where I think things will go in 2023. "It's the state of the nation that's holding our salvation"
