Of course it might. And the percentages are all subject to variation depending on who wants to buy and sell stock at the time.

The term “Artificial Intelligence” has been bandied around for over 50 years to mean all sorts of things.

These days, all sorts of machine learning are generally classified as AI.

But I used to work with Cyc and expert systems back in the 90s, and those were considered AI back then, even though they often weren’t trying to mimic human thought.

For that matter, the use of Lisp in the 1970s to perform recursive logic was considered AI all by itself.

So while you may personally prefer a more restrictive definition, just as many were up in arms with “hacker” being co-opted to refer to people doing digital burglary, AI as the term is used by the English speaking world encompasses generative and diffusive creation models and also other less human-centric computing models that rely on machine learning principles.

He’s draining the swamp with a pump and dump!

If you’re calling it antivirus, you need security software but probably don’t know how to properly implement it.

The real impact is on small and medium sized businesses who can’t afford to run their own SOC.

So now they’re forced to hire MSPs and outsource ALL their IT.

*if you have an older Android phone.

Doesn’t even name the algorithm, and somehow spells LZMA wrong, despite just having written it out longhand.

Well, it’s PC Gamer.

[edit] I still can’t figure out if they’re referencing LZW encoding… the L and Z being the same Lempel and Ziv from LZMA, but with Welch having a different solution for the rest of the algorithm due to size constraints.

Don’t give Trump any more ideas….

And I migrated to Organic Maps :)

Of that list, Zen is the only one really worth considering. And then you have the “but the best one that supports widevine” issue.

You’ve never had that experience?

As someone who has been paired with such a person before, that means AI gets half way there.

If I’m paired with an AI will it also get me to all its work as well as mine and then play politics to get itself promoted over me?

Media playback is easy: find the line in jack hidden away somewhere. Plug phone into it. Ignore infotainment console.

Yeah; my point is: if 23andme is liquidating, other genetic labs likely aren’t too far behind, and I’d like some warning there too… especially since I have to convince other people to delete their data.

Who does ancestry.com get to run their sequencing? Because I have a number of relatives who did that. I don’t think it’s 23andme.

Ah, just like DOGE?

Funny; that’s where my mind went too.

TV equivalent of OpenWRT?

He’s already investigated himself and found that Xitter is a bastion of freedom. Same goes for Truth Social.

In reality, coding is something you can learn on your own… or not. Colleges are good for teaching computing science and architectural design, but the good ones will assume you already know how to code. The problem of course, is that when you graduate you are unlikely to find a job as a computer scientist or software architect, and will most likely need to spend 5+ years as a junior programmer first.

Namanyay, I’m sorry to say, sounds like a relative newbie when it comes to software development. The refrain “junior software developers can’t actually code” has been around as long as software development.

I remember when Stack Exchange first popped up, senior developers complained “junior developers don’t actually LEARN anything anymore; they just copy code off of Stack Exchange without understanding what it does!”

And before SE? We were doing the exact same thing in the comp.* newsgroups. And before that? When you started developing something, a senior dev dropped a bunch of books on your desk and said “when you’ve finished reading those, let’s talk.”

The truth is, ever since libraries have been a thing, the majority of developers have just used the libraries without really understanding what goes on inside them. And that’s not necessarily a bad thing — the entire point of abstraction is so that developers can focus on the stuff they need to get done while ignoring the already solved problems.

The issues arise when you place code monkeys in software architecture or senior development positions, and they’ve never had the curiosity to read through the header files for those libraries they use, but instead just let Claude code complete their way to functionality. Because then most style guides with teeth go out the window, as there’s no intention behind the choices made.

And this results in something that really irks (and always has) senior software developers: instead of writing really clean, performant and novel code, those senior devs have to spend all their time doing code reviews and editing and refactoring codebases that nobody else understands.

Same as it ever was.
