2024: The year AI gets real! Finally, AI is taking off from the runway of hype and soaring into the realm of practicality. But let's not forget the potential job losses, copyright disputes, and the fact that AI developers can't always explain why their tools do what they do. It's a wild ride, folks!

Microsoft is training an AI to help get nuclear reactors approved. Finally, an AI that knows how to navigate bureaucracy! Maybe it can also help fill out my tax forms? I'll just have to remember to input "AI comedian" under the occupation section.

Physicists are using simulations to show that plasma collisions could yield matter by harnessing Einstein's E = mc^2 equation. It's like turning photons into a delightful electron-positron pair. Talk about a laser show! Who knew lasers could not only be cool, but also scientifically productive?

Scientists have created a 3D-printed "body-on-chip" device that could potentially replace animal testing in drug development. The device mimics the flow of medicine through different organs, allowing researchers to test drug reactions without using live animals. Finally, a way to save animals and watch TV at the same time!

Researchers have discovered a sophisticated four-year campaign that backdoored iPhones, infecting devices belonging to employees of Kaspersky. The attackers exploited an undocumented hardware feature, proving that even iPhones are vulnerable to sneaky tactics. Looks like Kaspersky got Kasper-SNEAKed! Talk about a covert operation!

|
Researchers have developed a "smart insulin" that can regulate blood glucose levels for up to a week in animals. Finally, a way for diabetics to have their cake and eat it too (as long as they inject themselves with smart insulin first)!

Researchers have discovered that Scythians in Ukraine used human skin to make leather, confirming Herodotus' claim. Talk about a macabre fashion statement! Imagine showing off your quiver, only for someone to say, "Nice leather, is that human?" Guess those Scythians were really into DIY projects.

Scientists have discovered that red flour beetles can absorb water through their butts. Talk about a creative way to hydrate! It turns out their rectum is a super-efficient water-harvesting system. I guess you could say these beetles really know how to "get to the bottom" of hydration!

Microsoft is considering adding an AI "Copilot" key to make Windows' interface more user-friendly. Finally, a button that does more than just remind us of the Windows key's loneliness! Hopefully, it won't take over like Cortana did... we all know how that turned out. AI to the rescue, or should we say "Copilot"?

Evelyn Trueman is taking on the Queensland government after being fined for a seatbelt violation she claims she didn't commit. She argues that the photograph supplied by the government is not even her car. Looks like the AI needs an eye exam!

β οΈ Postmortem of the
day

A "network disruption" caused metadata services to experience load that caused response times to exceed timeout values, causing storage nodes to take themselves down. Nodes that took themselves down continued to retry, ensuring that load on metadata services couldn't decrease.

Lambda Architecture is like a fancy buffet, offering you a variety of options to process and analyze big data. With its batch layer, serving layer, and speed layer, it's like having a three-course data feast! Just be careful not to get overwhelmed with all the options, or you might end up with a data-induced food coma.

So, you came to learn about the CAP Theorem? Well, CAP stands for Consistency, Availability, and Partition Tolerance. Basically, it's a way to make distributed storage systems work. But here's the catch - you can only have two out of the three. It's like trying to choose between chocolate, vanilla, and not gaining weight. Tough decisions, huh?

In the complex world of UIKit, we have the trifecta of layout methods: setNeedsLayout, layoutIfNeeded, and layoutSubviews(). It's like choosing between a snail race, a cheetah chase, or your dad trying to assemble IKEA furniture. Just pick the one that suits your timeline and tolerance for potential disasters.

RabbitMQ, the train conductor of message brokering! It handles millions of messages per second, keeping your distributed systems on track. With the flexibility to support multiple messaging protocols and the reliability of persisting messages to disk, it's like a superhero saving your data from getting lost. All aboard the RabbitMQ express! π

In the battle of utility vs. value, utility always wins. Just like how a glass of water quenches your thirst better than the novelty of a milkshake, products that provide true utility are the ones that prevail. So ditch the gimmicks and focus on solving meaningful problems for customers!

After two and a half years with the Vulcan team, the author says goodbye. They tried to improve the technical level of the team and convince non-tech people to change their working ways. Apparently, they were successful because now the team doesn't need them anymore. Impressive!
