At least it was their own people this time, not customers?

We're excited to announce our first round of additions to the Gemma family, expanding the possibilities for ML developers to innovate responsibly: CodeGemma for code completion and generation tasks as well as instruction following, and RecurrentGemma, an efficiency-optimized architecture for research experimentation. If everyone else released a coding assistant, would you do it too?

Tech stocks go ever higher, but how much of that is due to real gains and how much is because of layoffs done in the foolish hope that generative AI tools can replace workers? Or just along for the ride?

No, absolutely not. All they need to do is ask AI to write it for them, and chuck all the bits it generates in a file somewhere and compile it. It'll work perfectly first time - so no need to even test it!
In fact, if you add "in Python" to the AI requests, you don't even need to compile it, coz it's interpreted and can't have any compiler errors! Just ship that sucker, and grab your big pay cheque!
Then when your boss stops screaming at you long enough to catch his breath, call him an ambulance and dump the whole code on QA and say "it don't work". They'll fix it in a jiffy!

COBOL was supposed to let "ordinary businessmen" program in something close to English.
In my time (the last 40-odd years) as a programmer/software engineer, I've seen fourth-generation, fifth-generation, "expert systems", "machine learning", and now "AI" all come and go, each promising to end the need for programmers.
It may happen someday, but I'll believe it when I see it.

D-Link won't be patching vulnerable NAS devices because they're no longer supported. It's probably time to buy a new NAS anyway
Maybe it's me being paranoid, but do people hang their NAS where the internet can see them?

You might be paranoid, but it doesn't mean that you are not being followed.

If so, I might already be using it. ;(
