I should've read your message before I posted my own.
It's actually pretty hilarious. It is 19th century bobwehadababyitsaboy.
Antique dress encryption was not a scheme so much for 'protecting' the information (probably).
Rather, it was about compressing the information. Telegraphs were cheaper if smaller.
People continued to do this in some form or another to lower their telecommunications bills across the next two centuries.
This is why people thought that super bowl commercial was a riot.

Apple's AirDrop feature has reportedly been cracked by a Chinese state-backed institution, allowing authorities to identify senders who share "undesirable content" over the peer-to-peer wireless protocol Oh, thankfully they've saved us from bad people using that information

Read the article - Apple's had several high-profile security failures recently. Makes me wonder just how secure iOS really isn't.

The best way to keep your data safe is... not connect it to the internet. And even then it is not safe, only a bit more difficult to get.

So they say they used rainbow tables to reverse engineer hashes scraped from pretty much wiretapping the stream.
But doesn't that require that AAPL either didn't bother salting such hashes or didn't bother using a good salt?
Or... that they gave China the salt?
Oooo or they just volunteered implied info about their quantum computing capability?

If you work in the IT sector, you’ll likely know that certification in various fields can help to give your career a boost. Now you can be a Certified Git!

C3 is a system programming language based on C. It is an evolution of C enabling the same paradigms and retaining the same syntax as far as possible. You know what else has the same syntax as C, but is widely available?

Yeah, but nobody uses C.

A newly leaked database titled 'Midjourney Style List' has been found to contain the names of over 16,000 artists whose work the generative model is believed to have been trained on. Just wait until we see the list of developers with code that has been lifted by AI

There's another massive reason to be apathetic to concerns if you have some skills.
If it gets too bad and we have to steal our value back? We just teach it to write the bad codes. Trick it into running across repos of tdwtf.
If those who cannot do teach? (I've always hated that.)
Well those who don't know can't even do that much and ML will never know any more than what we tell it. Maybe if we coupled it up with a specifically "general AI". I'm not sure we'll be there in my lifetime, nor maybe several. I'd put our chances of populating Alpha Centauri first at about a 50/50.

That's why I for now am pretty calmed about the topic. Yes, it is a tool that can save a lot of time but, as per now, won't replace us (at least not most of us)

I would be already more than satisfied if I could see a "decent" space ship in my lifetime to move in our sun system, not even to go to other galaxies

Well, I feel comfortable saying that unless you have an unfortunate early demise that is probably a certainty.
RE: ML-
We've ridden this merry go round. Every other time it meant far more need for far more heads.
So far as I can tell this merry go round is a bigger faster one. It will have greater impacts, but some aspects of it, they will be the same.
If we want to be rationally prepared boy scouts?
We should probably start dumping very significant amounts of our time into stuff like onboarding.

Knowing how to solicit and give feedback is an essential part of being a software consultant. Yet, for new developers, learning these skills can be rocky at the beginning. Is that when you put them too close to the speakers?
