Simulated 1-bit, 32x48 cellular grid runs at a blazing 0.00003 fps. Sure, teach the bacteria to run and gun. What could go wrong?
Although "run" seems way too generous for this bit of headlinery

Reading the article, the bacteria didn't run Doom. They display it, although very slowly and poorly.

Unprivileged attackers can get root access on multiple major Linux distributions in default configurations by exploiting a newly disclosed local privilege escalation (LPE) vulnerability in the GNU C Library (glibc). Good thing no one uses that library!
Even safer, as it's the error logging that leads to the hack. Don't log errors, and you're safe!

Microsoft's adoption of Rust continues apace if a posting on the company's careers website is anything to go by. If only they had R#

Like the recent article about compiling Rust to .NET IL?
It generally won't be "pretty" code, but going from IL to C# isn't terribly hard.

I bet this causes a panic!
All it means is that they will be rewriting some cloud services in Rust for performance, reliability and memory, similar to AWS. Clients will still be C# and polyglot.
Their quantum computing toolkit, Q#, has also just been rewritten in Rust from .NET. Though they haven't changed the name, so the unsuspecting might still think it's .NET based.

I've only really played with the stable diffusion stuff and running it on a desktop.
Depending on exactly where you grab what, it either has no real guardrails or has very very easily removable ones (change a line of code sort of deal).
I think this cat's out of the bag, effectively. I'm not sure it matters if malicious image generation comes from DALL-E or comes from StableDiffusion, or Midjourney, wherever.
The core issue is people disseminating them. Even if they were just really great handmade traditional digital art, this sort of thing shouldn't be considered "acceptable use".
Acceptable use - of the systems where such content is disseminated.

A University of Pittsburgh study found that RTO mandates may just be a power grab that doesn't affect productivity. Not that they'll stop requiring it though

In many cases these companies have building lease agreements that they're paying, so to make it appear the lease payments are worth it they're requiring people to come back to the office.

True, and if they gave that as the reason, I’d be more inclined to agree with them.

valid point. Down the street from one of my consulting locations was a HUGE State Farm facility. Thousands of employees. When COVID was released into the public, they all went home to work and never came back. They haven't torn down the building yet, but two HUGE facilities are being built to become some sort of mixed use urban centers with housing, apartments, stores, etc.
These things are like a cancer all over the south now. What's hilarious is that people STILL are not coming back to work here in the area. We've already lost 1/2 the restaurants. In Atlanta, the #1 cause of traffic congestion is the state and federal government insisting that they be headquartered in downtown Atlanta.

I know office buildings and apartment buildings are built to different internal standards, but I really wonder how much of the difficulty in converting office space to apartments is obsolete and obstructionist building codes.
|
|

The plumbing issues would be the problem. Office buildings usually have 1 group bathroom per floor. Apartments each have their own (at least in America).
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.
I’m begging you for the benefit of everyone, don’t be STUPID.

While an issue, it's not a show stopper except in the minds of code enforcement folks.

One thing I hadn't considered previously with all of this is the potential for an intermediary to insert themselves between employer and employee.
Assuming a crafty malicious actor... how could either ever know?
Crazy, sure, but so is assertion such a thing could never happen.

Anytime I hear origami I think of this old TV commercial.

Microsoft is investigating an issue that prevents Outlook and other email clients from connecting when using an Outlook.com account. Have they added to the seven deadly words you can't use?

Reading the article, apparently nothing else can either.

This weekend someone asked for my help with Outlook 365 as it would not connect anymore, the only error message in the Windows log said something about a TLS error which was not of much help.
After trying for hours the culprit turned out to be AVG antivirus, turned it off and presto Outlook was working again!
