With the blatant manipulation he has done with his crypto scheme, and Tesla, and other crap, I can't blame them. But then again, idiots have been falling for his ploys all this time, which doesn't say anything good about those idiots, either. The SECs job is to try to protect them...

Oh, you mean the "funding secured" tweet that caused institutional speculators to dump their Tesla stock while investors, both institutional and individual, reaped huge rewards in less than two years by holding onto their Tesla stock. The SEC has done nothing to deal with the TSLA short sellers over the years who have lost huge amount of their own and other's money, but they continue to interfere with Tesla. This by the way, is why Musk kept SpaceX private - it keeps the SEC out of SpaceX's business.

You are missing a bunch. It feels like this article is also missing a few, as I think there were several tesla tweets designed to manipulate its price. There was also the Saturday Night Live crypto crap...

I did. Near immediately. Half joking, but maybe half not too.
Historical data on security tells us that most compromises happen from within.
And truly, in that sense, the facts we do know tell us that he sort of most definitely contributed?
Maybe he didn't impersonate SEC "because he could". But wanton headchopping and (did he really throw 80% of their microservices out the window one day but then auth broke and nobody could login?) and other stuff.
I'm not sure I'd call those things I respect about the guy so much as saving graces but they're solid things I think are rare and thus hold a great deal of value.
There's nothing wrong with a nice strong dose of self-righteousness... when your barometer is on point.
He's had to ignore his barometer too much. Too much pressure.

Let’s discuss a cool open-source C++ library that helps you write nice and clear C++ code, but with safety checks *automatically* added under the hood. Now we need something for Real safety

It already exists for some types of problems - interval arithmetic.
Most current implementations are relatively slow, because they require switching the processor's rounding control twice per operation (which kills inlining on most processors), but there is no reason that processors built with interval arithmetic in mind could not be designed.
Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.

Although a number of applications have been, and are being, back-ported to Windows 10. E.g., New Outlook, Media Player, Copilot.

9,388 engineers polled by Motherboard and Blind said AI will lead to less hiring. Only 6% were confident they'd get another job with the same pay. "You get a good job with more pay and you're okay"

CodeMonkeys will have it difficult, yeah.
Good Devs will still have good jobs for a while, when the consequences of using AI in production start popping out and someone is needed to clean the mess.

Could ChatGPT N (for large N) quit the game of generating code in a high-level language like Python, and produce executable machine code directly, like compilers do today? Is the correct guess, "no", or "heck no"?

Quote: As coding assistants become more accurate, it seems likely to assume that they will eventually stop being “assistants” and take over the job of writing code.
This just tells me the author isn't a programmer, or at least not a great one.
I just think that's the only way you make that assumption.
Granted, the companies who should definitely know that, and their CEOs... They are selling that idea to people who definitely wouldn't have any reason know better.
Edit:
I saw a post on social media criticizing some Indian guy because he posted a joke about integrating AI into something popular but where the whole joke was basically "ok guys, let's do source control, but with AI" and the entirety of the explanation was "source control + AI" (though it wasn't source control, I can't remember).
The vast majority of responses "did not get the joke" to say the least.

Wait, so he was attacking MSFT and I misread the situation?

Admitted fanboy. But I did not know anything about all that. Thanks.
It is not at all surprising though.
I am a bit ashamed I didn't figure out that context to put what I saw into it.
There would have been at least a silver lining to what I thought I was reading.

And they needed such a codification that lasted until today to get it craked only for weather reports?
Either it has been wrongly "decoded" or they were not weather reports...
Did "AI" help with this?
