A now-former Savannah police officer gave her husband, an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent, access to the police department’s Flock license plate reader system, which he used to conduct hundreds of searches tied to ICE investigations, according to newly obtained documents reviewed by WJCL 22 News.

This quantum leap could be just the breakthrough Firefox needed to set event coordinates during HTML 5 mouse drag events.

The most valuable position in the market right now is as a substitute of search enginesm

The second most valuable position in the market is as a tool to speed up work for already skilled people.

I perceive them as having equal value. In each case the technology is forced on users in a top-down way and results in worse outcomes.

I don't expect you'll agree; that's not the same as what I wrote being "Not really true."

That is true but does not pertain to what I wrote.

To be more precise, LLMs' present valuation in the market is not based on their being a skill so much as the end of skill.

The problem with "LLM requires skill to use correctly." is that LLM's are not being sold as a skill but rather the end of skill.

The other practical side of this is enforceability.

There is likewise no way to tell, just by examining code, that it was not plagiarized.

Non-point elements removed to help you focus.

It is enough to make one wonder in what country the Baelis reside.

On that note, OpenBSD appears to be a likely refuge now that Linux has been abandoned to slop.

AI has fundamentally changed how you do CS in industry, it’s completely unavoidable at this point and not using it in some capacity is doing yourself a massive disservice

If it was in truth inevitable then there would be no need to constantly shriek "It is inevitable!"

There is also evidence that deferring critical thinking to an LLM causes cognitive atrophy.

Much of open-source development relies on the honor system. There is likewise no way to tell, just by examining code, that it was not plagiarized.

Honor that needs to be enforced is not honor. It is something less.

On the old client you could disable the integrated browser using the "-no-browser" command line switch.

 

It is now clear that, with the right guidance, human input, and code reviews, AI can expedite the decompilation process in a significant way. What is also now clear is that the community aspect of decompilation has been broken. Our projects have always been open source to encourage contributions and to benefit the community as a whole. Bad actors have been abusing this in increasingly troublesome ways:

 

A top CBS News editor appointed by editor-in-chief Bari Weiss reportedly threatened staffers with termination during a tense meeting Tuesday morning that erupted into a confrontation over the network’s coverage of Israel and Gaza.

According to a Tuesday evening report from Oliver Darcy, the network’s foreign editor, Shayndi Raice — described by Status as “handpicked” by Weiss — addressed CBS News’ foreign bureau following the newsletter’s Monday reporting. In that piece, Darcy shed light on internal disputes over Middle East coverage, including Weiss’ contentious discussions with 60 Minutes correspondent Lesley Stahl and Raice’s handling of a report by CBS News correspondent Holly Williams.

 

Epic Games has reportedly delayed a shooter based on Disney’s Marvel and Star Wars franchises, with its developers told to use more AI. According to Bloomberg, the yet-to-be-named game was supposed to be released in March of 2027, but its launch date has been pushed back to an unspecified date. Aside from that, the company also told the people working on the project to switch to an "AI first" production model. One of the game directors was quoted telling staff that there will be “no more handwritten code” and that the game’s art would now be "generated with full AI workflows."
