Has anyone read the novel? I normally like to read the source book before watching the adaptation, but my to-read list is already longer than a human lifetime.
I assume you're in the US? Are you saying your iPhone customers were so prejudiced against green messages that they'd go with a different supplier/partner/whatever? Was it the friction of not having all the messaging features, or just that they thought all serious businesspeople used iPhones?
For such an influential letter, I don't find his arguement all that compelling. I agree that not using go to will often lead to better structured (and more maintainable) programs, but I don't find his metric of "indexable process progress" to satisfyingly explain why that is.
Perhaps it's because at that time people would be running the programs in their heads before submitting them for processing, so they tended to use more of a computer scientist mindset - whereas now we're more likely to use test cases to convince ourselves that code is correct.
It feels off that the headline talks about body cam footage but the AI actually just uses the audio. Technically that may be considered footage but I think I'm with most in considering that to mean the audio and video together.
Anecdotally, I've found that AI systems set up to summarise are reliable, probably using that "turn off creativity" setup that's mentioned.
I feel a company that big would write a more competent bot, but I also wouldn't be too astonished.
Morocco being “al-Maghrib” is suprising to me, since I know al-Maghrib as the Maghreb region, aka the part of north Africa that speaks Maghreb Arabic (al-Maġrib al-ʿArabī).
Wikipedia says it's المملكة المغربية which is “al-Mamlakah al-Maghribiyah” but I don't know if the map's version is an acceptable shorthand.
Short selling is when you borrow a stock, then sell that stock, then buy it back in time to return it. The idea is that you think it will go down, so you can buy it back at a discount and make a profit.
A put is when you have the option of doing that -- i.e. if it doesn't go down you don't have to do anything with the stock, and you've only lost the fee you paid for the put contract. It's a way of hedging your bets.
I thought there was a type of bug called a notgull at first but that's the author's handle. The bugs are a use-after-free and an invalid pointer that was wrong due to an unsound calculation in non-unsafe code.
This isn't meant as a saved you a click summary; the article's worth the read!
Death by patent troll 😞
If I read it, will I understand why "feet" is in the sneeze-causing list?

metux is Enrico Weigelt, the dev behind Xlibre, the new fork of X11. He's quite controversial, partly due to claiming to want to keep politics out of development by filling his posts with alt-right dog whistles, as well as being an antivaxer and having some... er... revisionist views of history.
