I once heard that JavaScript has so many warts because the first version was made in just ten days. It does explain a lot
Even if it's more complicated than that.

And the world was supposedly created in six days. I leave the conclusion to the intelligent reader. 
Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.

The question -- Does P = NP? -- is a grand theoretical challenge. Scientists took the approach of spoon-feeding ideas to GPT-4 to seek an answer. How do they get the caramel inside the Caramilk bar?
OK, that one may not travel well. I have no idea if they sell the Caramilk anywhere other than Canada.
And yeah, invertase is magic.

Completing new training and certifications offers distinct advantages for software developers. However, many organizations don't provide time or financial support for training, a new report finds. They'll just figure it out without the training, right?

CNCF, who sells various kinds of "cloud training" and "cloud certification" (going by their website, that largely means "learning to use kubernetes" .. which CNCF is the maintainer of), conveniently finds that developers are interested in those things, and by the way there is a subscription model.

Malicious advertisements are now being injected into Microsoft's AI-powered Bing Chat responses, promoting fake download sites that distribute malware. Are the AI trying to hack us now?
Well, that didn't take too long before they were ruined, did it?

In the midst of industry discussions about productivity and automation, it’s all too easy to overlook the importance of properly reckoning with complexity. How can you make things as simple as possible, but not simpler?

By not making them at all.

While I hoped this process would improve compile times for my game, it actually made them about 50% worse. Include everything, let the compiler sort it out

The upcoming solar eclipses and the current high sunspot activity means it’s a great time to observe the Sun. "That's the way, aha, aha"

Microsoft started rolling out the Moment 4 update for Windows 11. The update also included Windows Copilot, a generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) that replaces Cortana and offers to perform certain tasks for the users. Because dog is my copilot

The discussions involved high-ranking executives, including Apple’s Eddy Cue, but they never got serious. Because Bing is a type of cherry, not an apple
Oh, let's see. We can continue to get $20 billion USD from Google, or we can pay you $400 billion USD for 3% market share. Decisions, decisions...

Even MS doesn't want Bing! 
(But to be fair, Bing chat found something the new, crappy incarnation of Google failed at. I hate to say it, but I am going to be using that more in the future.)

Is that any worse than "Microsoft tricks users into using Office 365?"

Or they trick users into using Edge by making Outlook always open clicked links in Edge?
The difficult we do right away...

The 3D screen-printed, flexible sensors are not only able to detect electrophysiological activity coming from the brain but they can also harvest sweat. This brain has a good beat, and I could dance to it

In other news, no activity detected in most brains.

Has maybe something to do the fact that they many of them think they are almost perfect, that rules don't apply to them, that what they do can't go tits and that there is no need to hear what the technical specialists say?
