Datadog’s State of DevSecOps 2024 report details Java service vulnerabilities and security scan noise. On the bright side, no one uses the other 10%

Windows is fast becoming like one of those click-bait sites that when you close them, pop up a window saying "Before you go, do you want to buy <some useless cr@p>"  . If I didn't have to use MS tools for full compatibility with work stuff, I would have moved to Linux a couple of years ago.

I think that's why they moved the start button over to the right, and put the weather widget in its place on the taskbar.
Because after all these years, people are trained to focus their attention to the lower left corner when they are transitioning from one task to another, and computer advertising is all about distraction. Ads are always placed where they stand the most chance of distracting you from your task.
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

same old MS bull****.
Looking real hard at some Unix development contracts where the OS just does what it's supposed to do.
20+ years ago I had a conversation with an IT manager where he was going bravado on me about how he could break into any Windows system. Curious I said, "please elaborate." His words, "Oh we just cycle power on the PC, it gets past all the screen locks." Most of my people used Windows to run an X-Windows connection to their Unix machines. I politely informed him that doing that might be a career limiting move. He seemed to think he was there in a not so support role.
24 years later, and the best MS can come up with are ads in the start menu and pushing their "you must have a network login bs."

"When given the CVE description, GPT-4 is capable of exploiting 87 percent of these vulnerabilities compared to 0 percent for every other model we test (GPT-3.5, open-source LLMs) and open-source vulnerability scanners (ZAP and Metasploit)." Perfect, as if Hackers weren't already a PITA

You’ll need an ARM64 processor like the Snapdragon X Elite with NPU, 225GB of storage (SSD), and up to 16GB of RAM to use Windows 11 version 24H2’s highly anticipated “AI Explorer”. Something else to avoid upgrading
|
|
|
|
|
Only ARM64 is pretty weird.
Are they AI lip-sticking their ARM pig?
Do they know it's not that great so it's more about limiting exposure by containing to a segment they know will not be seeing much growth/bulk?
|

If this can provoke the makers of mainboards to produce a selection of ARM64 based cards with the same flexibility and expandability as the x64 boards (preferably using the same RAM, display cards, power supplies etc. etc. as their x64 counterparts), I think that would be a mark of progress. I suspect the day is getting closer.
At the time, I am not considering upgrading my desktop PC. My 2015 vintage x64 machine serves me well while I am waiting, but I am impatient. I'd like to play around with an ARM64, both at the instruction level and to see how well it fares with a complex OS on top. MS has worked closely with Intel to make sure OS and CPU matches(*) - I do not know if there has been a similarly close cooperation MS / ARM. At least the cooperation is not by far as long-lasting.
(*) Such as Raymond Chen's story about when Intel asked MS developers what would be their highest priority speedup, and the answer was 'The illegal instruction interrupt handling'. They had found that executing an illegal instruction was the fastest way to switch from user mode to privileged mode, and they wanted it to be even faster.

Microsoft Research Asia released a new paper introducing VASA, a framework for generating lifelike talking faces. Because the world needs more talking heads
Talking Heads, maybe (Qu'est-ce que c'est?), but talking heads, no.

If the talking heads talk with a bit more common sense than the original heads... that could even be an improvement

The potential of quantum computing is immense, but the distances over which entangled particles can reliably carry information remains a massive hurdle. When "it worked" is worthy of news, you might have a problem
|
|

|

Quote: Major first: Quantum information produced, stored, and retrieved
Quote: The distances over which this particular system could transmit quantum memories haven't been tested – it's just a proof-of-concept prototype in a basement lab, one based on photons that aren't even entangled.
Say what????
