I am just really not sure. Can someone be such an advanced programmer (or such a bad programmer) that they install an AI assistant tool, and then it never prompts them with greyed-out text because they're just that good (or that bad)?
I've used ReSharper AI Assistant, but I am not sure what I am getting for my $10 per month. OK, every so often it saves me a little typing here and there, but more of its sophisticated suggestions seem way off of what I'm intending to write.
And, for prompting it, it seems like it's on the level of GPT 3.5...I mean, I can just hop on over to https://chat.openai.com and type my prompt in there, and it knows tons of programming...I don't understand why I also need it inside my IDE.

Inside your IDE, it has context. Suppose you have a bare bones public method and you want to validate your inputs, and then write tests to check this works as you would expect. This is a lot more convenient if it's inside the tool you are using.

Nope. But then again, in the 90's there were books for this stuff. Can you imagine the # of books that would be needed nowadays, given the frameworks, libraries, packages? And every day UPS would drop off new books because the old books you got last week are already obsolete!

I've been working a list of vulnerabilities reported by a code scanner.
AI can supposedly look at a whitepaper and then write code to exploit a vulnerability.
Can you point it at a repo and have it fix any code allowing the exploit?
I'm not sure it even requires fancy AI/ML to parameterize SQL.

A new report from Fortinet shows that the second half of 2023 saw attackers increase the speed with which they capitalized on newly publicized vulnerabilities. Efficiency is good, no?

I would be interested in the statistics that compare the number of publicized vulnerabilities...

How will you distinguish between a low level of detected vulnerabilities and a low level of vulnerabilities?

but wait, I thought all of the updates were for more security? And the reason we need Windows 11 is for more security (not advertising)?

I guess Elon never read Michael Crichton.

I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.

Many people including politicians have never read Michael Crichton.
Blackout --> We are getting the "smart" strom readers / actors mandatory. Additionally Germany has one of the weakest IT defense in Europe.   
Zero --> Facebook, TikTok and co. and a lot of idiotic bets / challenges that costs health or even life of their users.  
and so on, and so on...
How was it? What today is written as sicence fiction can be tomorrow remembered as a news article.

Microsoft's C# Dev Kit extension for Visual Studio Code has been updated to more easily wrangle NuGet packages, run/debug .NET Aspire applications, see the active document in Solution Explorer and acquire the .NET SDK within the editor. Getting to be more and more like VS everyday
And it's probably getting to be the size of VS, once you install all the "necessary" extensions

Some of the biggest names in tech – including AWS, Microsoft, Google, Cisco and IBM – have signed up to a US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Agency-led effort and promised to take a series of actions within a year to make their products more secure. How many of them had their fingers crossed while signing?

While signing maybe not, but while promising for sure.

Fixing just one bug would already count, wound't it?

Totally agree. The actions will probably be just for show.
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

There is no such thing as Cyber Security, just songs whistled in the gravyard.
And oh, crap, that didn't work? When your stuff is displayed on pastebin. 
Im the meantime, checkout this puppy post, it's a riot.

"By demonstrating a first-of-its-kind model, we've shown that warp drives might not be relegated to science fiction." Also possible: magic wands, unlimited energy, and a great tasting frozen burrito

We've known for a while that the Alcubierre Warp Drive is possible. We've even reduced the amount of energy it takes to get them to work down to the resting mass energy that current technology can build. We also know that without extremely fast computers, these drives will be unstable.

...but only warp drives without the actual "warp" in them. They don't do even "warp 1".
"Quote: The proposed engine could not achieve faster-than-light travel, though it could come close; the statement mentions "high but subluminal speeds."
Clickbait science ninnies didn't make nothin' but some fancy words in digi-print.
I still think we'll do it for real way sooner than most think.

One developer who modified his post to include a protest message found his Stack Overflow account suspended for seven days. We got good money for your posts (and time and effort), stop complaining

I didn't realize SO would allow people to post. When I tried I was told, in no uncertain terms, that I wasn't trustworthy despite the fact that I gave the correct solution (I had just solved the question's for other reasons.)
