Lax policies for package naming on Microsoft’s PowerShell Gallery code repository allow threat actors to perform typosquatting attacks, spoof popular packages and potentially lay the ground for massive supply chain attacks. We *never* had these kinds of problems with DOS batch files

Artificial intelligence allows professionals to work smarter and faster, which poses a serious threat to businesses that make money by billing for time. "If you've got the money honey I've got the time" (but not for longer)
|
|
|
|
|
What if you don't charge for time, does it still make me "smarter and faster" I wonder... 
|
|
|
|
|
Faster... OK.
Smarter... I don't buy it. I think it is more the other way around, once people gets used to use AI for code, the "real" skills like problem solving, debugging, logical thinking and so on will decrease. People will get lazy and if the AI can't do a thing... they won't be able to do it (if they ever try)

The original ANSI C standard, C89, introduced the concept of “undefined behavior,” which was used both to describe the effect of outright bugs like accessing memory in a freed object and also to capture the fact that existing implementations differed about handling certain aspects of the language, including use of uninitialized values, signed integer overflow, and null pointer handling. By design; won't fix

In May, Ars Technica reported about customer complaints that claimed SanDisk Extreme SSDs were abruptly wiping data and becoming unmountable. Well, that's pretty extreme, isn't it?

Buyer's remorse can be something we all experience, especially when paying thousands or millions of dollars for a digital image of a simian. A fool and his money are soon laughed at (minus his money)

Learn how to use AI or you'll be replaced by someone who does. "Change or stagnate. Keep moving or die."
Are you still using *only* the skills you used three years ago?

Does this mean I will be replaced by V4.01 soon?

Nope... I actually use almost none of them.
