Nearly three years ago, the US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency announced its intent to develop a flyable nuclear thermal propulsion system. "Prepare for flip and high-G burn"
|
|
|
|

Kent Sharkey wrote: nuclear thermal is that different to thermonuclear?
“That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence.”
― Christopher Hitchens

Apparently: Quote: Nuclear thermal propulsion involves a rocket engine in which a nuclear reactor replaces the combustion chamber and burns liquid hydrogen as a fuel.

During Microsoft's fiscal first-quarter conference call, Tuesday, CEO Satya Nadella told Wall Street the company's private deal with OpenAI will pervade Microsoft's cloud computing operations. It's so big, he said, it's going to "transform" the company's Azure business. So that's what caused the outage?

Why don't they additionally use the AI to code the windows updates? It might be an improvement too

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

Oh look, a CEO attaching himself to the recent buzz before providing a compelling business case for such a move.
I didn't see that coming.
FYI: "It will make things better" isn't a business case.
I'd be better served if he announced that Teams or Visual Studio or SSMS will no longer take 2 minutes open on a powerful gaming laptop. I don't know what telemetry and tracking you have going on in the background when they open but you need to make it stop - waiting for all the AI crap to load, read all my files, and such will only triple that time.

I'm sorry Satya, I can't do that.
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?

Report puts forward ways that memory safe coding should be encouraged. But there's still a lot of other code out there. Never forget
|
|
|
|
|
I suspect that in five years there will be articles on the dangers of "memory safe" languages (and how to migrate away from them.)
|

I.e. memory safe but security out of the window.

“Is that a C# IDE running LINQ queries over Excel tables?” Yep, that’s exactly what it is. "Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether they could that they didn’t stop to think if they should."

File Explorer is getting a big update with new features soon. Who else had "rounded corners" on your Bingo card?
"Even the left-side navigation is being updated with more modern code, rounded highlight buttons, and more". <-- Wheee! Not just rounding the corners, but the buttons too!

LastPass’ parent company GoTo — formerly LogMeIn — has confirmed that cybercriminals stole customers’ encrypted backups during a recent breach of its systems. It won't take too long to change all your passwords, will it?

Brilliant! They'll never figure that one out.

CNET's AI-written articles aren't just riddled with errors. They also appear to be substantially plagiarized. It copied off other AI's homework?
Isn't that by-design? I thought all it did was lift stuff from elsewhere and put some filler verbiage in it? (like the art ones that grab bits and bobs from other art)

So they are saying that a pattern matching algorithm matched a pattern too well? Who'd a thunk?
