Using telescope data that was first collected in 2016, the machine-learning algorithm analyzed over 480 hours of data from 820 stars and identified eight signals of interest that previous algorithms had not detected. "There's others. I found one already. Series of transmissions recorded over a period of eight years, in the nineteen-seventies. Centauri system."

A new study asks ChatGPT to find bugs in sample code and suggest a fix. It works better than existing programs, fixing 31 out of 40 bugs. Does it fix more than it puts in?

But it didn't. It was stumped and then manipulated into giving the right answer, which ChatGPT then "memorized".

In this article, I will look at the current state of WebAssembly (wasm). I’ll start by revisiting 2022 developments to see if any of my predictions came true and if there were any surprises. Then I’ll try to predict where I think things will go in 2023. "It's the state of the nation that's holding our salvation"

A collection of strings, some sticky, some not; all still rolled up on a spindle?
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Things came to a head when programmer and lawyer, Matthew Butterick, teamed up with the legal team at Joseph Saveri Law Firm to file a proposed class action lawsuit last November, alleging the tool relies on “software piracy on an unprecedented scale.” Butterick and his legal team later filed a second proposed class action lawsuit on the behalf of two anonymous software developers on similar grounds, which is the suit Microsoft, GitHub, and OpenAI want dismissed. I wonder... have ChatGPT been trained with CP content too?

A new DevSecOps survey of enterprises says that only 28 percent of CISOs are confident that production applications are fully tested – with the biggest barrier to DevSecOps being that security teams do not trust developers, identified by 55 percent of organizations as the top issue. They started it!

New pricing plan for Oracle Java SE starts at $15 per employee per month and scales downward based on number of users. In related news: searches for software to migrate code at an all-time high
"The pricing is based on total employee counts, not the number of employees using Java. ... Oracle cited an example in which a company with a total employee count of 28,000, including full-time and part-time employees and agents, consultants, and contractors, would be charged $2.268 million per year." <-- What a deal!

Why can't they tell in a more straightforward way that they really want to ditch Java?
I guess that I know the answer: They want to make a load of money on that ditching. "You drop Java now! If you don't, we'll let you pay blood money for it!"

I'm not sure they've entirely thought this through. This seems to be a plan to maximize the amount of money they suck out of companies that are migrating away from Java (or at least Whorcle's JVM); but by making the first application a company might want to run using it obscenely expensive they're making it highly unlikely that any additional companies will take their platform.
