My mother and her husband are COBOL devs for a US state government. She works on the health insurance side for teachers and other state employees. Think claim processing.
Lots of batch jobs running at night. Their alert system is an actual human who calls my mom when jobs fail in the middle of the night.
My father is 75 and he still works, has his own software development company with his own back-office program written in cobol. He started a company back in 1991 with two other cobol programmers, they are retired now, and while almost all of the code they wrote has been replaced with c# code by younger programmers there are still some parts of the code written in cobol that he still maintains.
…if you woke up on a Casper mattress, worked out with a Peloton, Ubered to a WeWork, ordered on DoorDash for lunch, took a Lyft home, and ordered dinner through Postmates only to realize your partner had already started on a Blue Apron meal, your household had, in one day, interacted with eight unprofitable companies that collectively lost about $15 billion in one year.
But, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) of 2017 amended Section 174, effective for tax years beginning after December 31, 2021. Starting in 2022, R&D expenditures must be capitalized and amortized over 5 years for domestic research (and 15 years for foreign research… which is pretty untenable.) This change eliminated the option to immediately deduct R&D costs, increasing tax liability for companies with significant research budgets in the short term.
The short version is: this rule change has increased taxable income for businesses in the short term, as they can no longer deduct R&D costs immediately.
These young engineers - squandering their opportunities to learn how things actually work - would briefly glance at the AI-generated code and/or explanation messages and continue producing more code when “it looks okay.”

hipify_torch is a python utility to convert CUDA C/C++ code into HIP C/C++ code. It is NOT a parser; it does a smart but basic search-and-replace based on CUDA-to-HIP mappings which are specified in the hipify_torch module. It can also “hipify” the header include statements in your source code to ensure that it’s the hipified header files that are included.
Other changes on Galaxy Z Fold 7 can be found in the camera array, with a new 200MP camera at the core and backed up by a 12MP sensor with an ultrawide lens, and a third 10MP sensor for telephoto.
The ISOCELL HP2 packs 200-million 0.6-micrometer (μm) pixels in a 1/1.3” optical format, a sensor size that is widely used in 108MP main smartphone cameras.
画素がでかいわけではないので、たいした嬉しさはなさそうだな。むしろ画像サイズがデカくてストレージを圧迫する弊害があるのでは。フルサイズで撮ることは少なく、大抵は bin するのだろうけれど。
Earlier on Sunday, Trump’s treasury secretary said Musk should focus on running his companies and keep himself out of politics, a day after the world’s richest person – and a former White House adviser – announced the formation of a new political party.
Yeah, pretty accurate. Perhaps even eerily so. Upon first reading, I was surprised when it nailed age range, location, family size, etc.—details that I didn’t expect to be represented in a data set that I thought mostly consisted of Hacker News posts. Shows you how much can be inferred by a simple trail of “likes.”
