At least on the flipside. Code scanning tools are getting increasingly good. We finally moved to github at work and it's scanned the whole repo and pointed out tons of concerning security issues in the code. Not sure if it's powered by AI in any way (I assume not since they would scream from the rooftops if it was) but it's pretty useful.

for sure, coding scanning tools are indispensable, just like linting and testing.

They are likely a bit of both, increasingly more so going forward.

- some checks are straightforward and it would be dumb to use AI for them

- some checks require AI

This is such a common issue I've seen in so many API backends, where sensitive fields on a record are getting sent to the client and no one notices because it's invisible in the UI.

I've had pretty good luck with the Steam Deck for CEC, at least with the Apple USB-C hub.

I wouldn't be surprised if eventually clients just start rejecting certificates that are too long. Imagine if someone bought a domain, but a previous owner is holding a certificate for it that lasts 15 years.

At least under the new scheme if you let the domain sit for 45 days you'll know only you hold valid certificates for it.

For this to be a problem LE would have to be broken for an entire month. And even then you'd have ample time to move to something else.

AI scrappers made it so much worse. Now most things completely block VPN users who aren't logged in. Reddit and Youtube will refuse to load anything until you log in if you are on a VPN.

Apple runs all the heavy compute stuff overnight when your device is plugged in. The cost of the electricity is effectively nothing. And there is no impact on your battery life or device performance.

Depends what you are actually doing. It's not enough to run a chatbot that can answer complex questions. But it's more than enough to index your data for easy searching, to prioritise notifications and hide spam ones, to create home automations from natural language, etc.

Apple has the ability and hardware to deeply integrate this stuff behind the scenes without buying in to the hype of a shiny glowing button that promises to do literally everything.

That might work well for Apple to be the consumer electronic manufacturer that people use to connect to OpenAI/Anthropic/Google for their powerful creative work.

You can do it on the iphone with the action button.

They just shovel the garbage on someone else who has to fact check and clean it up.
