With the supposedly stable build of Windows 11 being problematic for many people, it is hardly surprising that there are more issues to be found in the Insider builds; it's pretty much a given Rollback, don't get your data back

AI-generated code has transformed software development forever. That’s not necessarily good. A solid review process can shrink bloat and attack surfaces. I think I was doing that fine on my own

AI is good.
I understand what it generates. I can work with it. It saves me time, and thus, it saves my employer money.

I've just in the last couple of hours been working on the beginning stages of converting a home C# project to Rust with the help of Codeium in VS and VS Code. It's been very helpful so far, but you get the best out of it by being interactive and its best if you already have sufficient knowledge of the language.
No idea about GitHub Copilot but Codeium has been impressive so far. I've used it mostly with Rust and I've also learnt from it.
But as with all this stuff you still need to keep your brain engaged!

So AI isn't. It is a query language, but it does not think. My brain is disengaged already, as I am tired of the hype.
Programming is about quantity. More dumb people make more software. It is a money game, as is everything

Well, I've personally found it pretty useful so far - I mean in general, not just in coding.
I've been dabbling with it for months now but, while it's impressive, it's also still surprisingly dumb in certain seemingly simple scenarios. Therefore, I don't see AGI arising anytime soon, despite people's fears. So that is certainly hyped.

I really am starting to not miss coding these days...
I think I will go back to PLCs if it continues like this.

You may become the PLC!

QuEra has dramatically reduced the error rate in qubits — with its first commercially available machine using this technology launching with 256 physical qubits and 10 logical qubits. Fewer errors is good, I hear

To get a handle on this see here.
Specifically, the graph about halfway down. So classical cryptography broken in 10-20 years? If we assume that line doesn't hit an insurmountable plateau.

Quote: To break currently deployed cryptography, scientists estimate a quantum computer would require at least 1 billion qubits. But today’s quantum computers only have a few hundred. First time I believe I've seen an estimate on this count. Interesting. And if they are mirroring cubits to reduce noise effects, does that '1 billion' turn into '5 billion' or more?

Ditto. At least it's something. Microsoft has a roadmap for achieving various stages but you still get no feel for a timescale. But I expect it will be a case of every 5 years it will be 10 years away and then eventually it will happen seemingly all of a sudden. Just hard to predict exactly when.
AGI is likely similar. Though tbh I'd bet that practical QC will emerge before AGI, despite the hype.
