While PolyCoder doesn’t match the performance of top code generators in every task, the researchers claim that PolyCoder is able to write in C with greater accuracy than all known models, including Codex. Can it code itself?

Not knowing the capabilities of Codex, this could be what's referred to as "damning with faint praise".

A group of 38 cybersecurity professors and IT experts worldwide, together with the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), have cosigned a letter to EU regulators that warns of a proposal that could expose internet users to cybercrime. But no one ever uses insecure certificates in an attack, do they?

|
|
Yep - security certificates issued by the government. What could go wrong?

I was thinking of the Nutrimatic drink dispenser:
Quote: The Nutrimatic Drinks Dispenser also known as the Nutrimat Machine and the Nutri-Matic Drinks Dispenser is a Sirius Cybernetics Corporation product designed to work out what drink someone wants through taste bud patterns and neurological signals. It is well known for producing a liquid which is almost, but not quite, entirely unlike tea.
Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.

While watching a fearful memory take shape in the brain of a living fish, neuroscientists see an unexpected level of rewiring occur in the synaptic connections. And it looks misty and water-coloured

American chipmaking company NVIDIA on Tuesday confirmed that its network was breached as a result of a cyber attack, enabling the perpetrators to gain access to sensitive data, including source code purportedly associated with its Deep Learning Super Sampling (DLSS) technology. Great news for those of you working on your very own graphics chips

I'm the Windows tablet user, but I'm not the Windows Package Manager user.
The difficult we do right away...

A study of more than 36,200 tech workers finds that two in five employees want to quit due to excessive stress, exhaustion and a broken work-life balance. "Watching some good friends screaming 'Let me out!'"

During the COVID lockdowns a significant percentage of workers, in all industries and not just tech, were forced to find other ways to make a living. What many of them found was that they could make a better living leaving their industries by lowering their stress levels while still making ends meet. Corporate World needs to remember this or they'll continue loosing good people to more human-centered endeavors.

As the pendulum has swung from monoliths to micro-everythings - services, front-ends, you name it - we find ourselves with more "things" to build and maintain. And so it begs the question, who is responsible for what? With great software comes great responsibility

If it works, me, me, me!
If not, you.
