I think this study is less about the bullshit bingo itself, but far more a genuine confirmation of what we all suspected.
Those that drink the Koolaid, are generally crap at their jobs.
They have to use a combination of "oh boobies" and "think of the children" because the techbros are rather intertwined with the current government.
Plus the demagogues rely upon these networks, they wouldn't like the algorithm quietly tweaked to defavour them.
You don't need to be constantly shoulder-surfing to check what's installed or what sites they've visited.
Nor do you need to check those things daily until the moment they turn 18.
They need to face up to reality and go to a subscription model just like Netflix, Amazon Prime, Disney+
You seem to be missing the main point of many of these BBC services - they are for public benefit and/or in support of UK soft power.
This fellow has hit the nail on the head: There is no substitute for intelligent human beings in the mix, and punishing them for not meeting the wrong metrics just buries the business deeper in the hold of wasted spend,
I had a client's new PA who ranted at me over the phone.
Same as the pirate in the story.
It's always DNS...
Daleks have been helping Iran and we will unleash a FURY on them like the world has never before seen!
We will not accept anything less than COMPLETE and UNCONDITIONAL surrender.
Thanks to its liquid metal poly-alloy construction, it can just re-form itself after that; the silver blobs of melted metal coalesce and run together, the G-1 unit then resuming its remorseless promotional activities without pity or fear.
You could have just saved us all time and said "I don't read books", you know.
Instead of glue and rivets holding major parts together, the Neo relies heavily on screws.
It's quite possible that this is because US oblast administration has sniffed all the glue supplies.
"To be fair" the postmasters should not have been prosecuted in the first place.
"To be fair" Fudge-it-sue should not have denied that the system could not be wrong in any shape or form.
Sales guy came into the engineering office all excited.
"I've sold this MASSIVE system to a new client.
Terrible people.
They have treated America so badly.
"This revised timeline reflects the scale of the change, impacting over 20,000 users, and the need to ensure a safe, stable system with a reliable and accurate payroll, particularly for schools and term-time employees,"
Are they saying that they started the project without the need to ensure a safe, stable system with a reliable and accurate payroll, particularly for schools and term-time employees?
Now I haven't used Windows in years, so my knowledge may be out of date, but doesn't Windows spray files and data all over the C and other drives?
Windows has never done that.
the so-called "Smart Underwear" quietly keeps tabs on every toot
It would be more fun if a loud siren was activated and the name of the miscreant was projected onto the office wall.
It shows how the background costs must be killing them.
With previous educational promotions you'd go to considerable effort to ensure that the kids you were hooking didn't think about costs
> build the governance first, get the key parties committed, define the trust roots, enforce the rules – is precisely the kind of process that works in Switzerland and struggles almost everywhere else.
Quite possibly the truest thing I will read all day, in both its assessment of Switzerland and its assessment of not-Switzerland.
Tried to, the NPC suck.
One common example in the US is that the main train station in New York City would not meet the radiation limits required for a nuclear power plant.
The building is made of granite and so is naturally radioactive to a degree higher than allowed for a nuclear power plant.
I'm not a network specialist.
I just use networks.
If you're having to have your staff validate the work being farmed out to an automated system and then correct it because it doesn't do what it's supposed to, then that automated system isn't fit for purpose and you shouldn't be using it.
You must paint them Green.
Then you can tell everyone that you work at a Green facility!
You are not you is what the resident was told.
But, says the resident, how can you say that I am not me? Easy, our system has determined that you are walking 500 miles away from here and our tracking system still has you at that location.
Perhaps with the price of RAM being what it is, programs could start getting more efficient.
Why does Teams, which I only use for messaging most of the time, take up 2GB?

Straight from the archetype bucket.
Unemployment rates among recent graduates could climb above 30 percent because so many early career routine tasks will be performed by AI agents, ServiceNow CEO Bill McDermott has said.
McDermott also claimed that ServiceNow's AI platform could handle 90 percent of the tasks that humans used to have to in customer service.
“In vitro neurons learn and exhibit sentience when embodied in a simulated game-world.”
Making claims like that is likely to bring his University ethics committee down on one, assuming it has one.
One thing I find odd is the number of times someone takes an existing problem (such as nuclear fusion simulation, for example), then (apparently) just “adds some AI” and the result is immediately “better” (or at least “wow!
It’s AI”)
Fanbois vs fanbois vs fanbois.
I go back to the days of IBM versus the 7 dwarfs, and who can forget the 8086 vs Z80 vs 6502 vs 68000 vs ...
Borrow money, stock price rises, retire on profits, someone else pays back the loan.
Life is so tough.
Using 'fiber' whilst referencing a UK company is inexcusable.
The earliest signs of life on the planet are still a few hundred million years after its formation.
These molecules themselves aren't "life" and the conditions inside Earth, or even just on its surface, during its formation would have dissociated them anyway.
No, not that seriously, stupid boy.
* widgets sold separately.
> Or perhaps the company is seeking to take advantage of Windows refugees, offering an escape from Microsoft and its hardware requirements and telemetry gathering.
What could be more familiar than Chrome in an otherwise different operating system?
It's the UK... they are litres and it's fibre.
“As a company that has prided itself on creating categories, our AI transformation begins with a focus on customer-centric product strategy to anticipate and fulfill the diverse needs of a large and growing customer base.”
Those words could be rescrambled in almost any order and the sentence would be just as meaningful.
Can't the Indians just copy the system used by British Rail?
It appears to have a 100% effectiveness in stopping train-elephant collisions across the entire network
Does it also mean Apple services can't use you?
The USA had one too, Voice of America.
Gee, Donald, I wonder if such a service might be useful, right about now.
> I'm slightly confused (or better yet -uninformed) - what are the biggest benefits oh using bcachefs over btrfs?
The summary is right there on the title of the bcachefs project website:
Never thought I'd be saying, "Fire up the DMCA, boys, and take that down ASAP!"
How times have changed.
> One of the marks was positioned on an area of the map that corresponds to Minab, where a missle struck a girls' school near a military target, killing more than 160 people.
AI shouldn't be anywhere near targeting decisions and Palantir shouldn't be anywhere near any part of government.
Would the world really miss Google, IBM, Microsoft, Oracle and Palantir?
Too busy turning parts of the Middle East into the moon
I for one welcome our old robotic overlords new overlord!
From what I can remember of the original game, a true simulation would need to include severe wrist cramp and trying to keep hold of the joysticks as well.
Finally, the three languages known for causing the most bugs can now communicate together to make even more bugs.
"Teper has taken credit for "Creating SharePoint Server,""
That should be grounds for firing followed by a public lynching.
Cant be used off road.
Cant go up hills.
given that Musk does not himself manufacture any hard-, soft- or other ware, it should be possible to simulate him entirely with AI (or is that what Grok is for?)
Even the Big guys can't get this right;
MacOS can't re-install certain versions without hacking around an expired certificate in the low level startup:
Firing 90% of the rocket scientists and replacing them with AI and a couple of interns ?
It's a difficult one.
Subscriptions link usage to revenue.
Another push to replace passwords with <anything else>.
Do you realize the difference between passwords and <anything else> ? You can change a password.
The Epstein Files elicit maximal efforts to hide or release information that would have major impact on people with money & influence ... hence why there is so much effort being spent.
Protecting your data is a minor inconvenience that costs money and therefore impacts profits ... in the current environment profits are all that matters ... hence why revealing negative cybersecurity events is so slow and the standard mantra is 'Don't worry we are dealing with it and THERE IS NO EVIDENCE THAT YOU HAVE BEEN AFFECTED !!!'.
"'Well, I'm the other presenter, and these are the people that were in my audience, but we all would rather hear Linus's talk.'"
I would have loved to have been there to see that!
Blocking devices which exist outside the identified, appified consumer ecosystem is a feature, not a bug.
It's not *YOUR* device.
"Data centres that don't come with their own power supplies should pay the necessary costs ...
And if they're not prepared to do this, then they're not serious."
Get the fucking machines to talk to each other.
I have years worth of test results scattered across disparate systems completely unavailable outside of the hospital (or even worse department) that took them.
And how many of those are false positives?
...I totally support this, but I'd fire a warning shot first and not just throttle them, but out right ban them, for say for initial 4 hrs, then 8, then 24, then 48 etc.
Think as these billionaire scum as the spoilt brats they are.
I've seen — and I suspect it's becoming almost standard practice — that the new "AI" gurus (quotes maliciously intended) have basically taken over the organization.
And since the discipline is brand new, many of them lack even the minimum knowledge of well-established security practices.
