Maybe the 80/20 rule.
Think and plan 80% cos AI can execute in 20%.
Hear me out:
We hated "waterfall" because after Big Upfront Planning, implementation took FOREVER, and by the time we were done, the plan was out of date
But with AI, implementation is rapid (100x faster, or more, than before)
So Big Upfront Planning can now make sense?

As someone who used to live in a prisons compound, I can say that this does not look anything like it.
At the very least, the walls/fences are not to spec.
The residence of former PM Najib Razak at Jalan Langgak Duta has been officially declared a prison.
The order covers all buildings and areas spanning 4,559 sq m at the property, the Home Ministry said.

An idea for @sprgovmy to consider for postal votes.
1. Mail out the return envelopes on dissolution.
2. Produce PDF of ballot after nomination.
3. Voters print and mark the ballot.
4. Voters return ballot via authentic envelope.
Minimize delays and stress for voter and worker.

Have a business so good that you need to rate limit authentic customers. 👍
Khairul Aming has introduced a new booking system for his restaurant Rembayung in collaboration with Grab, hoping to reduce the issue of reservation scalpers.
Under the new system, verified Grab users can only make one reservation every two weeks. Bookings are also non-transferable to prevent people from reselling their slots.
Customers must bring the phone used to make the reservation and open the Grab app for verification before entering the restaurant. Screenshots will not be accepted.
The new booking system is available starting Monday (Nov 2), with Khairul Aming hoping the changes will help make reservations fairer for customers.

Wise words
The future of #ArtificialIntelligence is not pre-determined. As a technology developed by human beings, its future depends on the choices we make. We therefore have the responsibility to guide, change and, when necessary, reject its applications. A reliable system that serves the human person is of greater value than one that is exceptionally powerful but whose consequences cannot be adequately foreseen or controlled.

A question I've asked myself many times. Could you render video frames directly without any frame buffer - cos RAM is expensive in embedded systems.
What if a chip could render a "3D" view inspired by Wolfenstein 3D without a framebuffer? 🤔
This week’s Chip of the Week is raybox-zero by Anton Maurovic. It uses ray casting to render a textured 3D-like view of a map, racing the beam to generate the picture live as the VGA signal is sent.

What do you think is the coolest part of this design? 🤔
Boldly go, where no one has gone before. 😭😭😭

There is truth in this.
One hill I'll happily die on: the normalization of "ship fast" culture at the expense of proper SDLC has played a significant role in the quality of vulnerable code being pushed into production and the rise of CVEs and enshitification of software for the last several years.
We've systematically traded engineering rigor for velocity, security assurance for investor confidence, and long-term maintainability for quarterly growth. All things I wish we would second guess and reevaluate.
But the software overlords wanted products yesterday and they got them. And now the rest of us get to spend the next several years discovering exactly which corners were cut and figuring out how to deal with the immense amount of responsibility that's been dropped on our collective feet.

Received this via air-mail today.
It's my 10th year being part of the Disciplinary + Preliminary Investigation Board. Have seen some really interesting cases.
Thank you #TheIET

Nice experiment.
Cannot call it 'stolen' if it was offered up as a bounty though.

We're not a serious nation.
Sembang apa border security. It's leaky like a sieve.

My experience - it's like having a competent intern around 24/7.
Getting done within a day, what used to take a week; and having more fun than with playing my PS5.
Still reviewing the output, and rewriting bits i.e. showing it how it's supposed to be done.
Shine a bright light and suddenly, all the vermin are running to hide. 🔦🪳🐀
The ownership of Prosignal Consortium, the company behind TuJu, has come under scrutiny over its links to political figures and former top government officials.
Malaysiakini found that the company’s website lists Selat Klang assemblyperson Abdul Rashid Asari as an executive director and former IGP Acryl Sani as a non-executive director.
It previously listed Bashah A Aziz and Negeri Sembilan undang Muhammed Abdullah as directors, but their names no longer appear on the website.
