One group of scientists thinks that we may already have detected technosignatures from a technological civilization’s Dyson Spheres, but the detection is hidden in our vast troves of astronomical data. Will they settle for a Ringworld?

In other words, take the existing component and run it before making any changes to it at all. Does it work? Do not try to change the code. Only realize, there is no code.

We are launching our newest flagship model and making more capabilities available for free in ChatGPT. This one goes to 'o'
It was either that, or a quote from Office Space (that I'm sure you can guess, but that isn't kid sister safe enough IMO)

"O" might be non-KSS too.

Microsoft has improved the C# Dev Kit for Visual Studio Code (VS Code) with support, Aspire integration and easy SDK acquisition – but developers are complaining of “terrible quality”. But what do they know of C#

The question is... are those "improvements" in the way they are described in the dictionary or in the way they are described in the windows marketing handbook?

Adding features is faster and easier in good code than bad code. "Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!"
Beat that strawman!

No fvck Sherlock...
On the other hand... how fast will the good code be transformed into bad code by the additions?

Now, Microsoft Word will use the ‘merge formatting’ option by default. They do listen to feedback (it just takes decades some times)

Unbundling Teams from Office has apparently failed to impress EU regulators. There's a lot they should face for Teams, but I'm not convinced antitrust is one of them

Yep. It's titan vs. titan in the EU. The complaint was brought by Slack, which is owned by Salesforce.

Since ChatGPT dropped in the fall of 2022, everyone and their donkey has tried their hand at prompt engineering—finding a clever way to phrase their query to a large language model (LLM) or AI art or video generator to get the best results (or sidestep protections). Just let the computer do it
