Artificial intelligence programs still struggle with basic problem-solving skills that people excel at, new research claims. The AI, or the researchers?
I suppose that was a softball one

That would make the book title (one of my textbooks) "Artificial Intelligence vs. Natural Stupidity" pretty appropriate.

A team of researchers was able to make ChatGPT reveal some of the bits of data it has been trained on by using a simple prompt: asking the chatbot to repeat random words forever. The power of poems?

Windows users are reporting that Hewlett Packard's HP Smart application is appearing on their systems, despite them not having any of the company's hardware attached. That HP printer must be around. Have you looked everywhere?
Just checked, and sure enough I had it on my machine as well. Odd. Thanks, Microsoft.

If there's an HP printer anywhere on the network Windows will install it.

Nothing HP in this house. I think it just got mistakenly added to an update.
(I suppose at some point I may have connected to the same WiFi network as some HP device, but that would have been the closest I got.)

And unfortunately this is all it takes.

There were lots of announcements this week of cool new features, AI enhancements, performance improvements, and much more. That was a lot to digest, so I thought I’d bring attention to some of my favorites. Not mine, his. But you get the idea?

Primary constructors is one of the new exciting features for C# 12.
However, there have been concerns from developers about whether to use them. Secondary constructors still considered acceptable

According to Gartner, the next wave of cloud computing will see even more complicated workloads migrated over, plus new options and requirements for cloud customers. +/- 70%, 17 times out of 23

and more than half of them will regret it sooner or later.

This article is pure clickbait. Clicking on the link, it took me to Cloud News or something. I'm sure Gartner got some $$ for the self-serving article.
Both of my primary customers started migrating to the cloud years ago. The first one has given up. They are now deploying appropriately spec'd generic servers and creating VMWare virtual machines as needed. They are doing this at the big sites of the corp.
The second customer has gone insane with security. They are moving to the "cloud" - Wipro - and to be honest, it's a complete abortion. Maybe that's a little harsh on Wipro. Most of the support is outsourced to India, and it's less than responsive. We're about to have a heated status meeting in 1 hr 9 minutes.

This company likes to acquire other companies when the tech matches. Over the years, they have consumed 20+ (maybe more) firms and never got around to generating a unified IT strategy.
Then something bad happened. It was a security incident of some sort, but they would not share the details. A new CEO comes in, and the money starts flowing. Now, they aren't going cloud, but creating servers as requested on generic hardware seems to be working very well. In 5 years when the hardware needs to update, it should be painless (I won't be there to see that).
They are also doing a big corporate wide push to unify security, OS' and applications.

Sounds as if the new CEO actually had a brain an knew how to use it

Another possibility is that some high profile hacks of cloud systems will cause the migration to reverse.

People stayed with Wells Fargo. And the news over the past several years has shown that people aren't the smartest......

It's already been hacked. Worse, you can make simple configuration errors - like Microsoft did - and expose corporate data.
There is no way I would ever recommend "the cloud" for a production system. Development? sure.

This is a milestone in the road to getting to the equivalent of a self-driving car but for a computer. It's sad when they grow up and don't need you anymore
