GitHub is betting a yearslong investment in generative AI will fulfill the software security dreams of cybersecurity practitioners and government officials. Replace all the bugs with the same AI-generated bug

Yeah right...
As government officials wanted software security...
If they were, why would they try to get backdoors in encryptions and things like that?

Researchers claim that was 1,000 times faster than what it takes humans to design a CPU But then the video card was backordered for a year
Plus, it forgot to put thermal paste between the CPU and the heat sink, so everything ended up a smoking mess.
Why no, that's never happened to me. Why do you ask?

Well, I guess like humans, the AI will improve.

If it's 1000 times faster, then it's 3 ghz. equivalent ?

The disk of our galaxy was long thought to produce these ghostly high-energy particles, but they haven’t been detected until now The particles are coming from inside the house!
"For the past 10 years, an array of small light sensors drilled into Antarctic ice has been detecting neutrinos as they zip through our planet. IceCube is an actual cube of these sensors, a kilometer long on each side, that was sunk between 1.5 and 2.5 km deep in the ice." <- quite a bit of work to set that one up.

this link[^] has optical and neutrino comparison (and some other comparison images as well).
It really is crazy to think how these neutrinos are zipping through me from all around the galaxy!

Currently taking bets on how long it will be until they start using the Page Visibility API[^] to detect when you do that, and automatically pause the advert until you switch back to the YouTube tab. 
Then throw in some "glance tracking" to make sure you're actually looking at the screen when the advert is playing.
Oh, and copy the TV tactic of making sure that the adverts are MUCH LOUDER than the video you're actually trying to watch. And since it's Google, add an API to the browser so they can pause the advert if you mute or turn down the volume.

Everything goes round in cycles, including computer networking… but not always in rings. The most important networking system so far has vanquished all its loopy rivals for 50 years. Traditional gift would be a gold cable

Old? Who remembers LANtastic[^]?

But LANtastic didn't exist in the mid 1970s, several years before the IBM PC, did it?
One point that could be stressed a lot more, though: The Ethernet name is 50 years old. Practically every single element of the Ethernet technology of the 1970s have been replaced, from cabling and plugs to topology to signaling - some of them several times over those 50 years.
Ethernet is an excellent example of how developers use a well known and recognized name for an older technology as sales pitch for a new and quite different technology that might have difficulties capturing the market if it were marketed under a different name and as a new technology.
(Another example of selling a new technology under an old name is USB: USB 1.x was a quite different animal from USB 2.x; they had very little in common beyond the cable and the bottom level frame header making it possible for them to run on the same cable. USB 3.x was unable to repeat that trick, so it lets USB 1.x/2.x run on separate connectors wrapped into the same cable. USB 3 is a completely new standard - even the plugs are new!)
