Back in 2018, at Google’s I/O conference, I attended a session on the concept of Artificial General Intelligence—AI algorithms that could demonstrate humanlike fluency at all sorts of reasoning tasks, not just those it had been specifically trained to perform. Sitting in the back of a packed audience, my mind was suitably boggled at the prospect. And it would have been more boggled still if I knew that less than six years later, reasonable people would be debating whether AGI wa

In his quest to make X into an “everything app,” last week Elon Musk gave free audio and video calling to all users—not merely the 650,000 subscribers who pay to use the platform, but literally all 1.3 billion accounts.
What a noble act, some may think, except that a privacy issue emerged almost immediately. The new feature was activated by default, without notifying users. And now, users are discovering not only that X has exposed their data to other users, but

The lawyers who successfully voided Elon Musk‘s $56 billion Tesla pay package as excessive admitted their request for a $6 billion fee is “unprecedented,” but by some measures, it might be cheap.
The fee request, like Musk’s pay package targeted in the case, defies easy comparisons. A judge in Delaware in the coming weeks will be asked to decide if it is reasonable and meets various legal requirements.

This is tutorial on how pointers work in the C programming language. The tutorial is addressed at beginners. Rather than focusing a lot on the more technical aspects of pointers, and using complex examples, the tutorial focuses on a deeper understanding of the subject so that the issue is understood firmly.

PHP web applications are one of the most commonly attacked pieces of software on the Internet today. Anyone who has looked at their web server logs can attest to the frequency of probes for vulnerable PHP applications. PHP's easy learning curve has lead to its popularity and breadth of applications, but not without some hard learned lessons on the way. This document serves as a reminder of some of the important security related issues when programming in PHP. The paper is not a security manual.
