A USC Dornsife study revealed that frequent and infrequent users of social media respond differently to social rewards. Altering a platform’s structure may curb negative habits. Must share this

And what about people that do not use social media at all? And the anti-social?

Microsoft’s Edge web browser v117, in beta, sheds some features you probably never knew were there, like Math Solver and Citations. What's the term for a feature you discover exists when it gets cancelled?
Phantom Pheature?

Random thoughts about this:
Someone took a wrong turn and went to YAGNI class instead of Yoga class?
Actually isn't this a GOOD thing?
If a feature falls in a forest and no one hears it did it make a sound?
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.
I’m begging you for the benefit of everyone, don’t be STUPID.

Bug fixes. Remember, a Feature is simply a Bug with Seniority.

The US government is paying more attention to open source software and memory-safe programming languages, and is requesting input from the private sector. The nine most terrifying words in the English language are "I'm from the government, and I'm here to help."

The US Government has been involved in cybersecurity for years. The CIA, FBI, and Secret Service all have cybersecurity divisions that work with companies and in some cases, individuals. CISA is a US Government agency, CERT is funded by the US Government, etc. The only difference now the White House is getting directly involved, which is unfortunately a bad thing in because it'll now bring in even more politics.

The question in that is... to help making it safer? Or to find the issues before the rest and exploit it?

CISA, which is run by the CIA with the support of the FBI and Secret Service assists organizations in recovery from cyberattacks as well as tracking down cybercriminals. CERT maintains a public database of known vulnerabilities and whether or not there are known exploits and/or exploit kits against those vulnerabilities.

I do not doubt that those help, but there are another parts in the cocktail of letters that are not so nice, aren't there?

I think every technology ever invented [has] the potential to become both a tool and a weapon. We have to ensure that AI remains subject to human control. Because no human would weaponize it

Unlimited GPT-4, encryption, 32K context, and more. Will it become an essential tool? Just like the old ChatGPT, but this one is competing with you for a raise

Correction: It will be used as excuse to not give you the rise, the money for the license must come from somewhere... and since it is doing part of your job...

Quantum computing is still really, really hard. But the rise of a powerful class of error-correcting codes suggests that the task might be slightly more feasible than many feared. So instead of quantum computing being viable in 15 years, it will be viable in about a decade and a half

So QA will be getting some new 'plz send teh codez' requests?
"the debugger doesn't tell me anything because this code compiles just fine" - random QA comment
