MakeUseOf: I asked Gemini, Claude, and ChatGPT to debug the same Python error, and only two explained what actually broke. “It feels like it has gotten so common to ask an AI to fix your mistakes since it’s easier than debugging. That’s okay in most cases, but you need to go to the right AIs. I tested a few of them to see which gave a good output instead of just making a mistake or not helping […]

Buterin (Ethereum Founder) suggests that AI-assisted “formal verification” could help secure crypto networks, smart contracts, and cryptographic systems against software flaws.

“If you formally verify end-to-end, then you are proving not just that some description of the protocol is secure in theory, but that the specific piece of code that the user runs is secure in practice." https://decrypt.co/368226/ethereum-founder-vitalik-buterin-ai-verification-secure-crypto-networks #Crypto #CryptoSecurity #Ethereum #BlockChain #Buterin #AI #Verify #SmartContracts #Cryptography #Software #Security #SoftwareBugs

🚨 OMG, #dnsmasq is exploding! 🚨 In a shocking twist of fate, CERT drops six #CVEs on lazy vendors who didn't realize their software was a ticking time bomb. Apparently, "longstanding bugs" means "we've ignored this for years, but now it's an emergency" 😂.

Your devices run your life, but what happens when the code goes rogue? From zombie subscriptions to infinite cloud billing loops, some of the weirdest tech glitches can cost you thousands before you even notice. Computers have no common sense - they just follow orders, even if those orders lead to financial ruin.

🥴 Oh, the joys of bug reporting with Apple: it's like playing whack-a-mole where the moles gaslight you into thinking they're fixed unless you constantly babysit them. Developers suggest boycotting the Feedback Assistant – but who can resist the thrill of shouting into the void, hoping for a miracle? 🤪🔧

TechCrunch: For open source programs, AI coding tools are a mixed blessing. “Earlier this month, developer Mitchell Hashimoto launched a system that would limit GitHub contributions to ‘vouched’ users, effectively closing the open-door policy for open source software. As Hashimoto put it in the announcement, ‘AI eliminated the natural barrier to entry that let OSS projects trust by default.'”

The Antigravity A1 drone: 8K 360-degree video, FPV goggles, and controls that feel like you're playing GTA 5. Seriously.
It even *magically* removes itself from footage! But don't worry, the "press-once-press-it-again-and-hold-and-pray" pairing ritual for its software issues keeps things grounded.
Would you trade cutting-edge features for bulletproof stability, or is the future always a bit buggy?

Waymo's robotaxi decided school bus rules were optional, prompting regulators to ask questions. Naturally, Waymo's already pushed a 'software update.' Because isn't that always the first line of defense? What's the most *critical* bug fix you've deployed that totally wasn't a hotfix?

Déjà vu! The DOJ has filed *another* lawsuit against Uber for alleged discrimination against riders with disabilities, especially those with service animals or wheelchairs. Uber insists on its zero-tolerance policy.
