Frey told Ars he was shocked to see a platform as big as Discord relying on such poor support infrastructure.

It’s exactly what we can expect from tech companies these days.

On Melania’s role this bit stands out:

“Something was clearly wrong, but I am not part of any evil mission involving children. So what did you do, Melania? You tried to involve me, but you failed — because I have character.”

People can’t tell it’s sarcasm because every day we encounter people who would say exactly these stupid things in earnest.

If a physics simulation doesn’t agree exactly with experimental data, it is often difficult to figure out why and tweak the model until they agree. With AI, incorporating a few experimental examples into the training process is a lot more straightforward, and it’s not necessary to understand where exactly the model went wrong.

That’s not too bad if it’s only ever used as a rough guide in the early stages of design, with proper testing done later. But do we trust corporations not to get lazy and pressure their engineers to skip the accurate tests altogether, especially when they can then brag to their investors that AI is replacing expensive engineer time? What would Boeing’s management want to do with this tech?

If only everyone had warned him again and again that this would happen.

It’s like the US official who told the Pope he was wrong because the USA has more weapons than he does. Fascists don’t appreciate truth or morality, just force.

They exploited old unpatched firmware bugs, then modified DNS to send people to malicious sites. A typical hack involving old, unpatched routers. So the FCC decides to ban all new routers, while allowing old routers to continue functioning. It makes no sense as a security measure. The only way to understand the ban is as another instance of Trump’s people foolishly thinking that if they punish companies enough, they’ll instantly relocate their manufacturing to the USA.

Or they just noticed how sexy the fish always look.

“Like every tech company, we’re really excited about the velocity increases from AI, and so we have a lot of internal prototypes that are up and running, and extensions is one of them,” Varma said. “But a lot of things we’re staring includes questions like: Can you customize your homepage? Can you add widgets? Can you change your background in whatever way you want?”

All that and rounded corners? Not sure I can handle this much future.

Anti-fascism too. But presumably it’s implied.

Does anyone here not score on every point?

I’m trying to think of legitimate reasons why an installer should be able to edit that file, and I can’t think of any. Seems like the OS should lock it down.

There is a port to C++ underway, which still seems to be active:

He’s posting on Truth Social again, sadly.

It’s possible that the kernel and core components are still robust, having been developed in a time when engineering standards were higher. As far as I know, the kernel is still basically Dave Cutler’s NT kernel, adapted by his team to 64-bit in the early 2000s, and his stuff was always well reputed for stability, though other teams were producing unstable code.

The problems of Windows today always seem to trace back to the early 2010s when Satya Nadella took over and nuked the QA and testing team. That’s borne out by what we learn from the current article series, which describes how those test engineers who weren’t fired were parachuted into roles they often weren’t prepared for.

If the core of the OS is robust but everything on top of it is flaky, then the user experience is still going to be of an unreliable OS.

It was chosen by Netanyahu, who has been pushing for it for a long time. Trump’s people are just the first US administration stupid enough to agree to do it without realizing what he’s getting them into.

“I would like to hear how you would explain to my children what you’re supposed to be.”

I’m pretty sure his children are already familiar with the notion of an adult being a massive dick.

Guy who has asked to allocate trillions of dollars to a voluntary and unnecessary war against a country that was no threat, achieving nothing but killing thousands of innocent people and tanking the world economy while destroying US global power.

Also, guy who wants us to forget he rapes children.

Several L.A. hospice and healthcare providers were raided by federal authorities early Thursday morning.

The crackdown on the city resulted in eight arrests and the suspension of 221 facilities over 10 weeks, officials said.

So raiding and shutting down healthcare facilities in Democratic states is the new distraction from the USA losing its own war in Iran and destroying the world’s economy, which was the distraction from Trump raping children?

When was the last time the Republicans did anything actually good and helpful?
