I wish some hardware expert (I am a software guy) would set up a table listing ethernet versions across and ethernet characteristics downwards, like cable technology, speed, signal encoding, plug type(s), network technology, physical medium access control, power delivery support, link frame details, ... indicating when support for it appeared and ended.
I guess one line in the table should be 'Marketing name', i.e. 'Ethernet'. That would give us at least one property to relate the thicknet ethernet of my student days to today's ethernet. I cannot really think of any other.

Google launched MakerSuite, a new browser-based tool that will make it easier for developers to build AI-powered applications on top of Google’s foundation models. If everyone else builds an AI, would you do it too?

Anyone who uses the word "coder" to refer to a programmer or "coding" for programming has never understood what programming is in reality.
Programming is the art and science of finding a workable, specific solution to a class of problems using the tools available for the computing environment the program will run on.
Code is the end result, but the programming is the entire process that goes before even the first line of code is produced.
Low code and no code tackle the last, minimal part of the process. If a person cannot abstract a procedure to an algorithm and make a flow-chart out of it there are no amount of no-code or low-code platforms that will do it for them.

I thought that was architecture or engineering, not programming itself.

And even when a person can do it, no- or low-code platforms will probably still not be able to do it.

If you can write a flow-chart, Stateflow will make a program out of it. With some study and the right options it will be quite optimized too.
Some low code / no code platforms are powerful. Costly and with a predatory policy that makes casinos and Microsoft look like the International Red Cross, but...

We’ve created GPT-4, the latest milestone in OpenAI’s effort in scaling up deep learning. "Skynet begins to learn at a geometric rate"

Name makes me think of Grand Theft Auto 4. Not that that is any better than Skynet.
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.

Whenever a company suffers a data breach, passwords are one of the most commonly leaked pieces of information. And when threat actors behind the attack get a hold of these, they are normally dumped on the dark web where they can be purchased and used for identity and financial theft. Or the same 7 passwords 103 million times

Looking at how MS has evolved the last years... either that department was full of damned lazy / dumb people or they were being ignored in such a way, as they were not there anyways.

Somehow that team doesn't look particularly helpful, productive or useful. AI is a technology (but mostly a buzzword), it's developed by engineers. Ethics is a prerogative of the surrounding society and it is expressed by means of laws, regulations, common beliefs and accepted behaviors. An ethic and society team in a technical environment sounds like a way to hire the significant other / nephew / cousin of some director.

Python is among the one of the most popular programming languages, yet it's generally not the first choice when speed is required. Some of the benefits of Python, now with added performance!
"Codon's performance is typically on par with (and sometimes better than) that of C/C++." <-- when one language is (almost) always the one to compare against, it might just be sending you a message.

My biggest problem with Python is its use of significant white space. What mad language designer specified that abortion?

One who bet on the entire internet thing (and HTML's deleting leading white space by default) going away.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?
