47% of digitally mature organizations, or those that have advanced digital practices, said they have a defined AI strategy After all, what has natural intelligence ever done for us?

It appears that it's mostly just renaming mundane things AI.

Pretty much - if it's got a switch statement of more than 10 items, it's AI!

According to a report from Bloomberg, Google and Mastercard have signed a secret deal so that Google could track retail sales using Mastercard transaction data. This is yet another proof that Google’s true customers are its advertising partners. “Who now has the strength to stand against the armies of Isengard and Mordor?“

Microsoft is officially unveiling the name for its next major Windows 10 update today. Previously codenamed Redstone 5, the “Windows 10 October 2018 Update” will arrive at some point in October. Hopefully more treat than trick

When you return to school after summer break, it may feel like you forgot everything you learned the year before. But if you learned like an AI system does, you actually would have — as you sat down for your first day of class, your brain would take that as a cue to wipe the slate clean and start from scratch. "Pressed between the pages of my mind"

In the first study of independent in-home use by a group of these patients, the brain wave-based BCI system was found to be reliable; and of the eight individuals who completed the study, seven chose to keep the device for future use. Nothing funny here. I think it's great news for them.

President Donald Trump continued his war of words against technology companies for a third day in a row, this time telling Bloomberg News in an Oval Office interview this afternoon that he sees the power and influence of companies like Amazon, Facebook, and Google as a “very antitrust situation.” Soapbox, soapbox. Soapbox soapbox: soapbox
But I mention it here as it's news, and about technology companies (I've been trying to avoid posting about it)

Do you wish you had a later version of C++ in your production code? If you do, you’re not alone: a lot of C++ developers today don’t work with a compiler that supports the latest version of the standard. With the added bonus that you'll still need to update your code when you finally get the new version
|
|
|
|
|
The whole article could have been reduced to a single sentence:
"Place the C++ keywords not yet supported by your version of C++ in C-style comments wherever they would actually be located."

Terrible advice!
I've spent a lot of my career "up-porting" code. This is so much easier with clean code, written to the compiler, libraries and operating systems available rather than what might happen sometime in the future.
I once worked on a project which took most of these ideas, especially the emulation one, to the limit. It was a nightmare. The code was littered with inscrutable comments, macros, defines and emulated functions, none of which were quite the same as what became the standard, so could never go away without heavy refactoring. (Worse, there were often multiple versions of the above!)

Google wants to ensure developers have the tools necessary to protect user data with the open-source release of Tink. ROT13 ought to be enough for everyone
|
|
|
|

Cool, I thought, I don't need OpenSSL just to get AES-GCM! Then I read "Tink depends on Abseil, Protocol Buffers, and BoringSSL." Screw you Google.
(BTW, doing AES-GCM with OpenSSL is absurdly easy. To me, Tink makes it more complicated.)

Here’s the not-so-secret recipe for strong passphrases: a random element like dice, a long list of words, and math. And as long as you have the first two, the third takes care of itself. First, roll for initiative

The C language is very powerful, widely used—particularly in the Linux kernel—and very dangerous. One of the Linux engineers outlines how developers can cope with the programming language's security weaknesses. Just shoot off a toe, not your foot?

Crippled ports. Paralyzed corporations. Frozen government agencies. How a single piece of code crashed the world. I'm confused: if the story is untold, what's this story about?
