There are problems that are in practice beyond the capabilities of even the most powerful versions of today’s computers imaginable. Or that's what THEY would have us believe

The company plans to create an AI service to provide users with conversational results. It will be based on their Ernie system. Is anyone not?

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.

Exactly! The kind of thing I like 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.

Many of those shown the doors were the best of the best in Google's open source program office (OSPO) and other open source efforts. Good? Evil? It's always about the bottom line.

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?
|
|
|
|
|
But it didn't. It was stumped and then manipulated into giving the right answer, which ChatGPT then "memorized".

A new report by the National Bureau of Economic Research shows the majority of time saved by working from home and avoiding office commutes goes toward increased productivity. News only for the managers

Synchronicity: today my employer announced a return to the office at least two days a week, because "...being together helps improve wellbeing."
That might be true of extroverts. But coders?

Yeah, during the COVID lockdowns I kept asking when I could go back to my preferred six yard (not ruler, but actual yards across a suburban street) or longer social distancing.

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"

A collection of strings, some sticky, some not; all still rolled up on a spindle?
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Things came to a head when programmer and lawyer, Matthew Butterick, teamed up with the legal team at Joseph Saveri Law Firm to file a proposed class action lawsuit last November, alleging the tool relies on “software piracy on an unprecedented scale.” Butterick and his legal team later filed a second proposed class action lawsuit on the behalf of two anonymous software developers on similar grounds, which is the suit Microsoft, GitHub, and OpenAI want dismissed. I wonder... have ChatGPT been trained with CP content too?

There were a couple linked in the article. Let’s just say that I don’t think any of them will make a “Sound of the week” post.
