MisterAV··on CodeCompose: A large-scale industrial deployment of AI-assisted code authoring
On Visual Studio there's an extension (by Microsoft) called IntelliCode which is a small AI assistant that runs locally on the CPU. It doesn't come close to these new large GPU models but it's quite handy. It looks into what you're typing on the current line and the previous activity along with the current project and tries to predict the full line or even the same change on multiple lines if that makes sense.
MisterAV··on Raspberry Pi 4 can finally boot directly from USB
What is the requirement for synched audio? milliseconds, microseconds, nanoseconds,...

I'm currently working on devices that synchronises themselves wirelessly indoor over a large area and I'm now wondering if music could be an application I haven't though about...

MisterAV··on Pointer Compression in V8
Having 32-bit pointers doesn't mean that ASLR becomes much less effective? I can suppose that for V8 is not a big problem, because they use compressed pointers where necessary, but if it was a compiler directive (like Knuth wanted) it would affect the whole program. I would not use that option for any program that have to process untrusted input.

Well, if the main problem is the style of the scrollbar and not the functionality itself, I would not put a warning that it's not compatible IMHO.
MisterAV··on An in-depth security review of the Intel Management Engine
Ehm, on my Haswell motherboard there is a HW jumper called "ME disable" and it works quite fine... Also people have found different methods to set a bit that effectively shutdown the ME: These were put there by Intel even if they aren't official or supported for the general public.
