Trump to hand some offsec ops against adversaries to the private sector, report
Canada to probe billboard facial recognition use, Pope Leo weighs in on Italian spyware scandal, Oracle bug led to theft of sensitive NHS docs, Coupang founder will go MIA at parliamentary hearing, Asahi will change cyber posture after ransomware attack, Apple issues emergency updates, much more

For balance, this is my favourite ever Dilbert strip, back from when it was good.

I don't envy "vibe coders". I mean, let's for a minute assume that their vision is not a pipe dream, but an accurate prediction of the future.
For a start, what's their plan for life? Driving a tool whose primary selling point is that anyone can use it. And I'm not even talking about all the inside competition. I'm talking of people realizing that they can cut the middleperson and do the coding themselves.
The way I see it, vibe coders are a bit like typists (with no offense to typists). Their profession is a product of a novelty. And just like typists largely disappeared when typewriters and then computers became commonplace, so are vibe coders bound to disappear when vibe coding becomes commonplace.
And are true programmers going to become obsolete? Well, let me ask you: did the proliferation of cars and corresponding self-service skills render car mechanics obsolete? On the contrary. The way I see it, the proliferation of slopcode will only make competent programmers ever the more necessary.
What vibe coders are saying is basically this: "This new automated self-service kit makes car maintenance so easy. Car mechanics will become obsolete now. Everyone's just going to hire *me* to run this kit instead."

Getting the small top battery out of the 7-series is quick enough, but the big bottom one involves turning 5x 10mm nuts, 2x 12mm nuts, 4 plastic trim nuts, popping two trim pop clips, pulling two pieces of trim, and pulling the trunk liner, also. Pain in the ass == more billable hours for BMW Service, I guess!

Good Morning #Canada
You don't have to like numbers to appreciate Statistics Canada, aka StatsCan. Jean Talon could be considered Canada's first official statistician when he arrived in North America in 1665 on a mission for King Louis XIV to conduct Canada's first census in 1666. In 1918, the Statistics Act created the Dominion Bureau of Statistics, a national statistics office that ultimately would become Statistics Canada. Besides conducting the Census of Population and the Census of Agriculture every five years, StatCan has more than 450 active surveys on virtually all aspects of life in Canada. Results are published twice a month and can be accessed via The Daily web page.
One of my favourite web pages is Canada's Population Clock (real-time model). It's fascinating to watch, and our population increased by 11 while I typed this post.
