from Politico's Digital Future newsletter:[^]Quote: Warner, who made his own fortune as a tech VC and entrepreneur, called the current tech slump “just part of a normal cycle,” and encouraged attendees to look further out: “When you think about all of the devices out on that floor, they’re all powered by chips — this is a long-term play,” Warner said. “Technology development and national security are inexorably linked.”
Luján echoed that emphasis on innovation and funding the wonky side of the industry: “I get excited when I talk about the Department [of Energy],” Luján said. “The kind of research happening on quantum computing, applied sciences, in the world of AI, anytime there's something good happening in those worlds… there’s someone from our National Labs [involved].”
Thank the godz, no one said: "no/low-code" ? ... and all the attendees went back to ogling the latest OLED monster screens, and GPU's, so expensive the average geek would have to ... steal to afford.

I followed the link, found another link below the article to another one, "12x Better Than Solar Panels? Prepper's Invention Takes Country by Storm!" presenting a lengthy textual presentation and a video of how to make a perpetuum mobile. Just pay $149 for the "Quick Power System Guide" to learn how! (But wait ... there is a special offer for you alone, only $49!)
Sorry, a site promoting perpetuum mobiles without a single critical word is on my Forget it! list.

So, because there was a bogus advert on the page, the site is worthless? (FWIW, I'm just seeing an ad for Disability Lawyers now. Maybe they're trying to tell me something?  )

A lot of companies put a clause in the hiring contract that if you leave, you can’t go to a competitor for {amount of time}. With companies doing everything these days, it’s meant that some people get effectively blocked from finding a job, so this is meant to stop those clauses.

It will be interesting to see how this shakes out. Some industries would suffer I think, and effectively become employment agencies.

The US has a patchwork of Laws and Court decisions about non-compete clauses. The general consensus is that you can only enforce a non-compete on senior leadership who are involved in corporate vision. The one place I'd like to see a non-compete is for former government leadership, including military, to prevent them from jumping to the "private sector" to then lobby the government for money for their new company's projects.

A series of "cooling off" laws that apply to executive and legislative personnel are (supposedly) in effect right now. These are not considered to be non-compete laws. The problems with them, IMHO, are the specifics of who they apply to and how long they apply; not enough people and not long enough, if you ask me. The military branch has its own set of regulations, which have just as many holes.

AI tools can be used to ‘edit’ and ‘polish’ authors’ work, say the conference organizers, but text ‘produced entirely’ by AI is not allowed. OK for ye, but not for me

We just banned use of code generated by ChapGPT or Github copilot on our project.
These things are a menace in the state they are in today.
|
|
|
|
|
If a developer takes ChatGPT code, and refactors it, say changes variable / function names, and such, how will it be identified?
|
|
|
|
|
We do not have a fool proof way to achieve this. However, we are doing code reviews and we are aware of the teams coding practices, so we mostly have the idea whether the code is from Chat GPT or not. But as I said some leaks are inevitable, hence why these code generators are a menace.

And which AI is going to check if the text / code has been written by its supposed author or not?

specific quotes from your-brand-of-scripture is inappropriate on every CodeProject forum for very good reasons. message reported as inappropriate.

Sweet,
Should we report your comments about Sanskrit and the Vedic scripture Bill?
Edit:
I'm just pointing out something I find hypocritical, if you check your post history you proclaimed your religion ages ago.

You can report anything you want; anything you feel violates CodeProject's ethos.
There is a big difference between my comments on the history and linguistics of the Vedas and Sanskrit, on the Mahabharata as drama and metaphysical allegory, and a direct quote from a scripture used as a talking point. I very carefully avoided anything that showed disrespect for Hinduism the same way as I would carefully avoid showing disrespect for Christianity, Islam, etc.
The quote (in Urdu) I used from Kabir is poetry.
Glad to hear you read my posts !
