The author is an idiot. He says we (software engineers) create overly complex systems and then goes on to imply we need to be regulated. Regulation guarantees complexity.

Google's problem is that their office products are junk when compared to Microsoft Office. Those firms didn't want to drop MS-Office, they just wanted to host it themselves vs. on Azure.

Microsoft will introduce checkpoint cumulative updates starting in late 2024 for systems running devices running Windows Server 2025 and Windows 11, version 24H2 or later. Aren't they already supposed to be doing that?
And the scariest line in the article: "You will begin to receive checkpoint cumulative updates automatically, with no action required from you."

Lyrics for Missy Elliot’s song “The Rain (Supa Dupa Fly)” were transmitted from the DSN’s Goldstone complex to Venus, about 158 million miles (254 million kilometers) away. Now all the gangsta aliens be coming for our Benjamins, yo
Or something like that
I wouldn't think Venus counts as deep space, but they're the rocket scientists...

"My finger waves these days, they fall like Humpty
Chumpy, I break up with him before he dump me"
I guess we can say it's very real psychological introspection.
I wonder if part of the choice was because it has significant repetition in both the music and the lyrics.

The flip it and reverse it one is better. They should've sent it instead.

The threat actor behind the alleged breach claims it is a "hacktivist" group dedicated to defending artists from generative AI. Sadly, 900GB of that are just "U busy?" messages

A group of researchers at Microsoft have been working on a new AI large language model that was developed specifically for spreadsheet programs like Excel, Google Sheets, and others. Because humans have trouble figuring out stuff like =XLOOKUP(TRUE,B5:B16<>"",B5:B16,,,-1)
OK, it's not an LLM for figuring that out, but that would be handy at times

Will LLMs keep improving if we throw more compute at them? OpenAI dealmaker thinks so. At least until they find something else to run after
