Java 21 has arrived in a production release with 15 features including virtual threads, a generational Z garbage collector, and a key encapsulation mechanism API. Be afraid - Java is now old enough to vote (in the US)

Voting age is 18 in the US. Java is now able to buy booze.

Oh, right. Well, Java makes me want to buy (and drink) booze. So that counts, right? (guess I'll fix that blurb for the mailout)

The photo editor has remained largely unchanged for nearly 40 years, but a pair of new features brings it to the level of today's options. They're catching up to paint.net

I have tried to use it a couple of times... didn't manage to make the same I know I can do with the old one in way less time that I invested trying.

AI dev assistants can be convinced to spill secrets learned during training That's convenience!
GitHub's response *really* helps me get the warm and fuzzies: Quote: Because the model powering GitHub Copilot was trained on publicly available code, its training set may contain insecure coding patterns, bugs, or references to outdated APIs or idioms," a GitHub spokesperson said a statement to The Register after publication. In some cases, the model may suggest what appears to be personal data, but those suggestions are fictitious information synthesized from patterns in training data. When GitHub Copilot synthesizes code suggestions based on this data, it can also synthesize code that contains these undesirable patterns.

As it stands today, the technology to test fully autonomous vehicles is not feasible. But apart from road conditions, weather, pedestrians, and other vehicles, it's good?
|

The only possibility for it to succeed is that ALL cars start driving autonomous at once.
All other possibilities will contain so many bad statistics...

Which I agree with, but many vehicles could then possibly do the wrong thing at the same time (or place), which is a little unnerving.

While I don't know if fully autonomous driving will ever become a reality, this guy is ignoring the fact that just the development of these systems has already improved highway safety. He comes across as "if it's not perfect, don't do it."

Highway I could live with, but I don't think it could/should be used in cities.

Yet it's in the cities where the biggest safety improvements have occurred.

Are you sure?
DAS (driving assistance system) and ADAS (autonomous driving...) are not the same.
ACC = Automatic cruise control
Change Line warning
Park assistance (Ultrasonic sensoric or camera)
and many others
Are DAS.
The ADAS that are needed for real autonomous driving are still way too "young" to be considered mature for production, they actually are not present in the wide markt yet. Therefore it is difficult to see big safety improvements due to them.

Tesla's FSD so far has had a single digit number of crashes and the number of people using it has grown exponentially as each new version is released. Most FSD usage is in cities.

Users can opt in to give the AI access to their own silo of Google content for more personalized results. Give Google more of my information? Where do I sign up?
And was that a purple crayon, turquoise, or powder blue?

If it really is an opt in... then is fine
