The scammers actually try?
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?

DeepMind has created an AI system named AlphaCode that it says “writes computer programs at a competitive level.” Average Q-programmer, or average A-programmer?

Is that why there's been a rise in no-code and javascript programming? To bring down the average and make the AI coder look better?

A sneak-peek inside the algorithm:
writeCodeFor(problemDescription):
question = CodeProject.QA.PostQuestion(problemDescription + " Send teh codez ASAP - iz URGENTS!!!1!")
code = waitfor question.FirstAnswer
while code is not perfect:
question = CodeProject.QA.PostQuestion("Code doesn't work: " + code)
code = waitfor question.FirstAnswer
return code

Spacecraft controllers have begun powering up the four cutting-edge instruments on NASA's James Webb Space Telescope as they prepare for the observatory's first glimpses of a target star. "This is your big debut. It's like a dream come true. So won't you smile for the camera"

The International Space Station (ISS) is now in its third decade of expanding the bounds of scientific knowledge, and scientists the world over have high hopes for what it can still accomplish. Were they petting a fluffy cat while revealing their nefarious plans?
Maybe this is why Tom Cruise is going into space!

There's a 2m-wide port on the ISS which must be hit by a torpedo while flying at maximum speed down a channel in the surface?

So, the ISS isn't international, but property of NASA?
I'm pretty sure they can destroy more.

It's not just that, the engine that would be used to deorbit it in the baseline case is in the Russian segment and relies on prop transferred by Progress capsules.

The OpenSSF’s new Alpha-Omega Project comprises not one but two separate initiatives. They are called Alpha and Omega, respectively, and each seeks to improve the cybersecurity of the open-source software landscape in different ways. Send in the eyes (they're already here)

Plenty of apps that you install on your computer have a setting that tells them to launch when you initially log in to save you the trouble of launching your most commonly used apps yourself. Leaving this setting on can also allow apps to check for updates or launch more quickly when you start them for the first time. The difference for some of the preinstalled Microsoft apps in Windows 10 and 11 is that they use some of these resources by default, whether you actually use the apps or not.
So I'm guessing the Teams and Edge icons in W11 are mauve.

Over the next few years, I expect to see increased adoption of WebAssembly across the tech sphere, from containerization to plugin systems to serverless computing platforms. Is it going to do a trick?
