Threat actors can exploit a security vulnerability in the Rust standard library to target Windows systems in command injection attacks. But it's memory safe!

Proof that while memory safety is critical, it's also critical to check your arguments. Anyone else notice that Oracle won't be fixing Java for this vulnerability.

The Recommended section on the Windows 11 Start menu is a hot topic among users, and it seems Microsoft itself is not too sure about the right way to proceed with it without coming across as forceful or invasive to users. What is the sound of one button not clicking?

Microsoft has resolved a security lapse that exposed internal company files and credentials to the open internet. Hoist with their own petard
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?

Maybe they should ask the "technical writer" of the item a couple of messages below

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!
