Hmm. My employer has us do 'business conduct' and other training every year. No one is exempt, including the president. It's not too arduous and can usually be completed in an hour or so. Completing the training is a condition for continued employment. I've never heard of anyone being fired for not completing it, but I wouldn't want to work with anyone who was so argumentative and confrontational that they wouldn't comply with a reasonable request.
I could see the company creating a policy for using AI-generated material on the job. Intellectual property rights are a significant concern for us in places, and given the cloudy (pardon the pun) nature of much AI training data, it's a reasonable response.
As far as governmental regulation goes, I'm sure that's going to be a goat![Elephant | [mastadon]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/elephant.gif) from the word go.

It all boils down to where the spotlight is shining - if it gets too close to home, move the light to something else to divert the attention so we can go on doing the "right thing" irrespective of public view, AI now has the spotlight like any other tech taht were out there before.

In absence of hardware, while waiting for it to ship I've taken to producing a starting codebase for my new project.
It's a Cortex-A based CPU, and those are not typically "real time" - for those of you familiar with embedded these work like your smartphone and are complex enough that they generally require an operating system like linux or android in order to function.
The problem with that is boot times. There have been successful efforts to get linux boot times down to less than half a second but it requires so much u-boot hacking and linux kernel hacking that it's not much easier than going bare metal.
I'm going bare metal. I'm terrified that I've accepted a contract for something I've never done before. It has been years since I coded anything in assembly. I read it, but I don't typically write it these days. That's about to change.
I'm dealing with stripped down C and C++, multiple cores but no scheduler, and therefore no synchronization primitives other than say, suspending the other core entirely, if possible? And that's yikes.
I just managed to scrape together enough of the CubeMX HAL under this environment to give me SPI support (I think), but I won't know until I get this board and connect my logic analyzer, and I'm really anxious about it. Lots of moving parts, and I haven't tested a single thing yet.
It's out for delivery now. I was excited yesterday. Right now I'm kinda freaked out.

Ah, the unknown. Exciting, terrifying, challenging, mysterious, bound to be frustrating and also with great successes and stories. It's times like these, if you had a crystal ball to show you the future (in detail!), would you look into it?

I bought an old graphic software written in VB6. I paid $30. the author sent me the installer and I can NOT install it on Windows 7 and Windows Vista. The install or continue button does not show up and I can not continue the installation process.
What can I do to make the installer work?
UPDATE:
I just installed VB6 runtime plus and it works now.

Assuming you haven't tried to run the install as a windows XP or 7 program? Right click the executable, Properties, compatibility and 'Run this program in compatibility mode for' and choose an os.
Edit:
You might make sure that your display is at 100% and not 125%. It is under display properties, you can adjust the scale. Sometimes apps especially older ones don't scale well.

I bought a 1999 shop manual wrapped in a XP virtual machine. It works.

I would consider that the best way to try this.
Even if the installer did work in a newer OS, the app might still behave oddly.

Are you on 64-bit Windows? If so then the issue is that the installer is most likely a 16-bit application, which 64-bit Windows doesn't support.

You need to look at the files and check which common controls, dll's etc is included. You then need to manually install all if not most of the controls manually to run, still no promises made. It is very old tech, like installing disc brakes on a 1932 Ford, you have to change so many components to make it work, is it really worth the effort begs the question...

I do not think the programming language is the cause of your problem. I'd guess it's a problem with the installer itself. Search the product forum / interwebs for the installer name (InstallShield?) and the problem as you have described it here. Good luck!
FWIW, we install VB6 applications on Win10 and now Win11 all the time without any problems...except for a recent issue of the Win11 print preview misbehaving...a good reason to get a new system for testing as none of my current systems are eligible for the upgrade.

Why on God's Green Earth are you wasting your time with old, unsupported, closed-sourced software that the author would rather tear up your $30 check than support?
Let's be real for a minute, we're talking VB for image processing. I'd be hard pressed to believe there's not an alternative a bit more modern.

If there is, I'd like to check it out. I am planning to get a drone.

yeah - by a cheap drone and discover how hard these things are actually to fly!

The kids gave me an inexpensive drone for Christmas, which came with very little documentation – literally how to get it to go up and nothing on how to land it and turn it off.
I took it to the school yard to try it out. It went up as expected, controls worked well, and - um - landing ...
The manual said the auto-return button would bring it back from anywhere and land, so I pushed it. The drone shot a couple hundred feet up in the air and hovered there. (I may have disengaged the auto landing by pushing the button a second time.)
Anyway, my answer to the question is "Get a tiny cheap one and try it out."

Playstation I or II had some good radio control helicopter games.
If the controls are similar, you could save a lot of crashes with your drone. The controls took a super light touch.

Googling suggests there is.
