I create proper libraries. I don't do snippets because they make code dirty, redundant and difficult to read on the long run.
I actively discourage people in my team to use snippets copy and pasted everywhere themselves. If it's reusable code, it should be usable by everyone and well tested
99% it's not AI, it is just an old school linear model, the one they have been using for decades, implemented on Excel, that they now call AI.
I know people working in insurance...
Millennials as well. I get bored with modern games. Grinding all day for a pink weapon skin. Tf, I don't care what color are my skins. Give me a good old challenge
I work in ML and AI and I strongly believe that reduced hours, wfh and universal basic income are needed. All new technologies can help us living a better life, it doesn't make sense using them to build a worst society
For me the rule that has always worked is "bet everything on open-source". It has always paid off.
When people at uni used Matlab, I learned R (before R-studio even existed) and python. I moved to linux as soon as I could. I never wanted to learn anything MS or Apple specific, or proprietary technologies such as visual studio, excel, vba, c#, SAS. I went on docker ASAP...
Now the world in my field runs on open source tecnologies, and I am the leaders of the "new stuff" wherever company I go.
On the long term learning open source solutions is always a win. Best case scenario it becomes the industry standard, worst case scenario it gives you the know how to master proprietary tools
More than 5 years then. The comic was right, with the difference that it took more than 1 single team of researchers to solve it
I don't agree with this piece. Labor exploitation has been a thing for much longer than silicon valley, as well as wall street. Modern ceos are applying old strategies. They are managing to do it more effectively now than in the recent past because governments are weaker and international competition stronger
Sugar is not bad. Abuse of sugar is bad. Sugar is absolutely fine, as long as one doesn't exceed. Problem is that in American-inspired diets sugar is everywhere at gigantic doses
Short answer is no. Safety of a program is in its implementation, not in the visibility of the code.
Most of the internet runs on opensource code, most companies that require highest security rely on open source programs, while companies relying on proprietary software are victims of hackers, malwares, ransomware every second (I am not going to name names to avoid useless wars).
That said, not all open source code is safe to use, as no all closed source software is safe to use. Bigger projects, used by many and used by experts are usually safe, most often even safer than close source counterparts.
Smaller projects are as safe as any random software downloaded from internet, unless you are able to read the code yourself. Many are safe, many aren't, few are malevolent.
Be careful and research the program you are installing for security concerns.
If you want to download big stuff like debian, fedora, blender, gimp, krita, chromium, vscode, docker, k8s (I don't know what you are into) just be sure that you trust the source from were you download binaries. The same as for any closed source software
How are they called "tech companies"? Are they not just delivery companies?
Not criticizing, just asking
The article is very badly written. The problem is windows vulnerability, it is not the open source software. The open source software is just a simple vector to exploit the vulnerability. Others could be out there
What a weird title. They are completely 2 different, independent things. Just to be categorized with AI hype articles...
