I wonder how much of that has to do with interactions with test frameworks/suites.
Ran into something odd this week where the fix was the classic wait
await Task.Delay(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(1)); Since it is only in a test, not so bad. There was a time it would've bugged me enough to figure out where things were going south with threading.
However much I do love some black boxes - that's a chief feature of a good one... You never notice it is one because you never need to look so far inside anyway.
If Redmond is still not so sure it's all it could be, I'd be inclined to agree.

A team of AI researchers and computer scientists at the University of Alberta has found that current artificial networks used with deep-learning systems lose their ability to learn during extended training on new data. "Skynet begins to learn at a geometric rate."
But it's from Alberta, so nothing to fear there. Unless there's oil involved.

Quote: They also are unable to grow any more intelligent by training on new datasets.
That stood out to me as wrong at first. Reading on, I realized you see that exact catastrophic forgetting with image generation tools and new models.
That this seems to boil down to a git commit message of "initialize the variables between runs" is interesting. Sounds solid too.

A 39-year old man from Somerset, Kentucky, was sentenced to 81 months in federal prison for identity theft and faking his own death in government registry systems. But that trick always works in the movies

Really, not the death sentence so it would match the records he tried to change?
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.

Wrong state? I suppose he paid attention before doing it?

Never have I ever...
had my father hack government systems to fake his death so that he didn't have to pay my child support.
Someone is going to be killer at two-truths-and-a-lie and such. Ace in the hole.
|
|
|
|
|
So, since he's already dead, would it be a crime to actually kill him? 
In this particular case, I think the appropriate punishment would be death and all his assets used for the child support he was trying to avoid.

The best reason for faking death is to avoid taxes. 
Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.

Windows 11 (and any older version of Windows) doesn’t allow more than one camera app to access the webcam hardware unless you use a third-party app that creates a virtual camera setup. So you can attend multiple video chats at the same time?
I know I'm an old fuddie, but I fail to see any use case here.

It means that spyware* can now view your camera when you're on a call.
