Researchers have recently demonstrated a method of creating a 3D printed copy of a key with the design of the key obtained by listening to the sounds made when the key is slipped into a lock. Beware of burglars with a recording studio
At least they're not calling it an AI

"The natives are restless"
-side eye- Not overly crazy about this idea, personally. Also not sure why I feel that way. It could be the usual answer (I'm an idiot)

hmmpf, not sure how useful it will be. Also the article is replete with grammar mistakes. Made it hard to read.

Sorry for mistakes. I'm definitely not a native speaker.
In the article, I mention you won't use native integers often, they are intended to be used for interop and low level development.

Didn't bother to read. Is it different than C++ intptr_t ?
Probably is, because it wants to replace my kitchen sink.

We’re quickly learning more about time crystals, strange phases of matter that appear to break time-translation symmetry – something that was thought impossible until recently Did they keep on ticking, ticking, ticking, into the future?
I mean - they're real and not just some physics theorist's acid dream?
Or a plot point from a Marvel movie?

When people build a database to manage reading lists or feed their neighbors, that’s coding—and culture. I only play one on TV

"Elitist" is just a smear term used by those who think that everyone deserves a trophy. The article sadly confirmed this rush to judgment.
When Wired first started to publish, I subscribed (hard copy). Sic transit gloria. Another one, for you UK folks, is The Economist. In the mid 90s, I told an American colleague that "The Economist is to Time as Time is to People." It's now nothing but a mouthpiece for establishment thinking, received wisdom, and similar claptrap.

Programmers gets worries not because they think that user creating small DBs will render them unemployed. They gets worries, because they know that after this small user creation outgrows original limitations of "no-code" tools or original creator moves on, it will end up on the programmer laps with unreasonable expectations - "if John Dow w/o any background did that much for virtually no time, you surely can do just a bit extra without much effort also...". And since everyone and their uncle seems to be able to do it, they surely do try. At our company the surveys found out that there are over 4,000 MS Access databases, that original owner is not available to support and now IT is responsible for.

Your smartphone can tell when you've had too much to drink by detecting changes in the way you walk, according to a new study. I can usually tell by my falling down

No, it can't.
My smart phone is usually at home, I'm not used to talking it out for walks. If it goes with me, it is without WiFi and Bluetooth to save battery life (and a bit paranoid maybe). As far as my phones are concerned (yes, there's two), I'm always at home, and always stationary within 2 meters.
Your neighborhood can tell if you behave like that. And the envious one will ask you were to get those drugs. I sold him a bag of parsley. Will be taking the long route to the groceries for a month or two.

If you haven’t touched yours for six-plus months, you have to cough up to prevent erasure come November I guess they needed a bigger container?

How many containers were used once and never again? (I've done that with VirtualBox for quick tests.)
