We used to develop AI to convince us its human (turing test). The future is about convincing AI/Automated Systems that you're - competent (hiring), not a bot (anti-spam), doing your job (KPIs), not a threat (ala social score, AI p

It's not, but believe what you want. Its clear to me that Chrome is a key logger, they bundle it with random software, it spies on the user and collects data on the user, among many other things.

Chrome may be an excellent browser, but the venn diagram overlap with malware keeps getting larger.

Hopefully the way for the United States to compete with China isn't to be more like them.

Yeah.. America started declining after when they allowed non-whites to immigrate. Worst economy ever starting 1965. No golden era nothing. Go look at the people doing the science & research in universities at post-doc minimum wage salar

Right.. Microsoft, Google, Amazon filled with mediocre Indians writing mediocre code and about to go out of business any minute now. Oh wait, how does reality work again?

I want to run a modern OS with modern features and still run any software that I already paid for 5, 10, 20 years ago. Out of curiosity, have you asked customers to run your software in a VM? How did that conversation go?

If my employer would still pay me the same salary, I couldn't care less about the license. I'm all for outsourcing this problem to the package managers.

The issue on Linux is that the distro's package manager decides which versions of shared libraries exist system wide, and this works well when you install everything through the package manager. Windows SxS is specifically designed to

Speaking of portability, As a developer who has shipped software on Windows for over a decade, and then some on Linux. Targeting Windows is insanely easy, because of the ABI. You compile once and you have an extremely high chance that it

Every single program has to write logic to parse/store/query/validate those values. A common API with a single store can be type-enforced, backed up, and likely easier to work with from an internationalization perspective. I

I like to think of LLMs as idiot savants. Exceptional at certain tasks, but might also eat the table cloth if you stop paying attention at the wrong time. With humans, you can kind of interview/select for a more normalized distribution

Yes, you're correct. To add - companies don't fundamentally care about all the things that we like to think of as "nice things", like good design, lack of dark patterns, robust security architecture, minimizing technical

This is true when fresh college grads are building stuff. Experienced engineers know how to build things much more efficiently. Also people like to fantasize that their project, their API, their little corner of the codebase is special and

BTW - UAC is not a security boundary, so UAC-bypass is not the same as privilege escalation, and there is no bounty for it, etc, etc. It's a common misunderstanding, probably in no small part due to Microsoft's own lack of communi

The amount of private data that is locked up inside private internal databases is huge. This is especially true of regulated industries. There is a wealth of data - financial data showing how to budget for things, pricing data on various pr
