what kind of ceremony? Is this related with the item above?

Nvidia is facing legal action in the US for theft of trade secrets from a German automotive company, which alleges its ex-employee made an epic blunder of showing something he shouldn't have when minimizing a Powerpoint slide at a joint Microsoft Teams meeting both companies were attending.

In this case the one to blame is the guy (a.k.a. moron) that had opened and maximnized the proof when talking with his previous employer...

The behavior of a C++ program is defined by the C++ standard. However, it does not describe the behavior to the full extent and leaves some of it up in the air: the implementation-defined, unspecified, and undefined behavior. I thought that was C++'s middle name?

In fairness, if the C++ Standard specified the form of every possible error in a program, it would be at least twice as long as it already is.
Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.

In the time I was programming industrial lines with PLC and Robots I always said:
- Automatic sequences are the easy part. The difficult one is the home run / reset run, as the "initial" position for it will be after manual mode (a.k.a. wherever the user stops with or without thinking about it) or an error.

Survey of enterprise users of generative AI finds rapid adoption but also hurdles, with difficulty finding business use cases, legal uncertainties, and high infrastructure costs top concerns. If all the other kids start an AI Apocalypse, would you do it too?

Ahead of OpenAI CEO Sam Altman’s four days in exile, several staff researchers wrote a letter to the board of directors warning of a powerful artificial intelligence discovery that they said could threaten humanity "In a panic, they try to pull the plug."
But did they try siccing the young children on the AI?
