Researchers suggested guidelines for designing autonomous machines such as robots, self-driving cars, drones and personal assistants that will effectively collaborate with soldiers. "Shall we play a game?"

But the next question is.. should we really trust them that much hey?!

I am starting to think on buying a dog... just in case we teach the machines too good about how to fool us.

There's a game called Yakuza 6 where this guy installs this AI app on your phone that collabs with you, but it's also sneaky and will plot against you if you look to uninstall it (remember it has a city full of users it can suggest things to stop you)
This immediately reminded me of that.

Microsoft announced the first generally available release of the C++ extension for Visual Studio Code, graduating to version 1.0. Just like Visual Studio, but without the features!
But it might get a few folk off vim (or ... emacs)

Oh wow, it has just entered beta testing. Very good.
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

I don't understand why that's anything to brag about in the first place. What's wrong with your product that it needs twice yearly updates?

Now out of beta and available for everyone, GitHub CLI 1.0 brings GitHub to the terminal where developers can manage their own workflows. Now instead of using the command-line for git, you can use the command-line!
Yes, it does way more than you can do with the regular git.exe, but I still want to make fun of it. Please and thank you.

My idea of a learning organization is one that focuses on what we learned from the incident and the improvements that come from it. "Pain is the greatest teacher"

I agree, but letting everyone having the very same mistakes again is a waste of time and resources too.
There is people that can learn from the errors of others too, if those are explained properly.

A single day’s notice is a big departure from the company’s usual approach, where developers are given about a week’s notice to put the finishing touches on their apps ahead of the major operating system release. I've heard of short dev cycles, but one day seems excessive
It's not like they didn't know it was coming soon. There were ... nine? beta releases.

Most IT leaders believe their organization doesn't have what it takes to enable its workforce to achieve maximum productivity levels. 'Tis time for the lash!
|
|
|
|
|
And I wonder... why is that so?
Probably because most IT decisions are not now under the sales / accounting department?
And even when they are still not there... how many IT departments do take decisions to actually increase productivity?
90% of the time is:
- "you can't do that"
- "Ok, I won't, but how can i achieve X"
- "I don't know, but not like this"
Or
Let's block everything up and don't let the developers do their job, because the secretary of XXX department just clicked on a link of a malicious email.
EDIT: Typo
