Yes absolutely relevant, especially in this software case. There is no requirement for mass-amounts of boilerplate code to be written here, just supposedly smart and correct cryptography and as little code as possible to do the job right... so if someone is using AI... that is a huge red flag.
An obvious sign that something is going horribly wrong in this project.
In fact i think this kind of news is enough to garner a huge influx of international hackers all targeting this package now, if they weren't already. They will be looking closely at the supply chain, phishing the hell out of the developers, physical intrusions where they can, its a hint that the developers might be stressed and making poor decisions, with huge payoff for infiltrating
Untrue. KeePassXC has large parts of UI boilerplate code and test cases. The cryptographic routines are the smallest part. They are pretty stable and don't change much. It's also not where we would be using AI.
"Project Amethyst is focused on going beyond traditional rasterization techniques that don't scale well when you try to "brute force that with raw power alone," Huynh said in the video. Instead, the new architecture is focused on more efficient running of the kinds of machine-learning-based neural networks behind AMD's FSR upscaling technology and Sony's similar PSSR system."
Office and the entire Office 365 ecosystem is the true killer. Microsoft is so entrenched in enterprise it's almost scary. And they're still trying very hard to wedge themselves in with their AI offerings.
I was completely unsuccessful in getting Microsoft Office to run natively with Wine in Linux. Like I wasn't even able to get past the installer for any version of Office later than 2007. Of course the web version works well enough, but in my case, I don't think I will ever be able to convince my parents to move to Linux if I cannot get proper Microsoft Office working on there. I am quite confident that they will not be happy with Kaligra or LibreOffice or OpenOffice or OnlyOffice or anything other than the Microsoft-branded Office.
In fairness to them, they've been using Windows and Office a lot in the last ~30 years, so asking them to abandon all that stuff isn't a trivial endeavor, but my point is that
Clients are going to send you Office documents, spreadsheets, etc.
Maybe you'll luck out and get something cross-platform or online, but 90% of the time if a client is sending a document, it's going to be something from Office (or rarely, Pages).
Spreadsheets can run scripts, and important ones you need to be able to run accurately, and not just hope your alternative office suite works.
