Daily Tech News 27 October 2025
Top Story
- Why open source may not survive the rise of generative AI. (ZDNet)
Actually a real concern.
Open source depends on copyright. If you write something - software, here, but anything - it is your creating and you have the right to sell it, or to give it away, on terms you decide. Large open source projects need to get permission from all their contributors to include their code in their project.
Generative AI trashes all of that. The products of generative AI are not generally copyrightable, and they don't keep track of where things came from either. A piece of code from AI could be nominally original, or it could be adapted from an open source project, or it could be copied verbatim from a copyrighted source that the AI might not even have had legal access to (Anthropic had to pay out $1.5 billion over similar problems with its training data).
And you can't tell.
Tech News
- Federal regulators have denied autonomous trucking company Aurora Innovation an exemption to safety rules requiring signals to be placed around broken down vehicles. (Reason)
Aurora Innovation has sued the Department of Transportation for... Not changing the rules in its favour.
- GM plans to drop Apple CarPlay and Android Auto support on new vehicles and replace them with, you guessed it, more AI slop. (The Verge)
Specifically based on Google Gemini, though I don't think the particular flavour of slop is of primary concern.
- Why are network devices in 2025 still vulnerable to the kind of exploits we saw in 1995? (CSO Online)
Not the specific exploits, but buffer overruns, remote code execution, or simple authentication bypasses where the code never checks the password at all.
The answer? Because we're still dealing with code that was likely written in 1995:"But when you're dealing with legacy code - we've actually seen some C++ applications where you have literally thousands of overflow issues and the original developers are long gone - it's very difficult to get a new developer to look at it, and they don't really want to touch the code. They get to a point where it's like: Well, prove to me it's exploitable, because this is a critical old piece of code that no one understands and it's dangerous to touch it."
The solution?
Throw AI at it, and when it breaks, fire people.

I'm imagining a new Wild, Wild West with train-robbers replaced by truck-robbers who place barricades in front of driver-less trucks -- forcing them to brake and stop in the middle of the road to avoid hitting them.
Upon which thieves POUNCE and SEIZE (they must be conservatives!) and proceed to break into and steal their cargo.
Good luck with that ... (and as an Independent Contractor Courier who drives 85,000 miles per year, Imma not gonna be comfortable potentially getting killed by driver-less big rigs -- given that I've had enough close with likely illegal-alien driven big rigs).
I went over the one-million mile mark some months ago, so: Time to retire ... like tears in rain.

Thanks for asking! No luck yet. Fixed a few already-identified vacuum issues and the fuel pressure regulator. I think it may need a fuel pump. Try the hardest thing last, right? Come to think of it, ignoramus that I am, I have not replaced the fuel filter yet.

Do that before you buy another fuel pump. Didn't you say you'd replaced the fuel pump like 10 years ago? It's a bitch, no doubt, and that filter IS likely clogged by now. Get 2, in fact. Old gas tanks can *crud-up* a lot.
Run a while, then cut-out, is typical symptom of plugged filter. Sorry I didn't think of it before! I'm out of practice, I guess...

Have bought only ONE new car (all others USED): was working for Ford Aerospace in '89; they had a program where you could go to a Ford Dealer as an employee and buy a new car; NO HAGGLING for 2% BELOW Dealer's Cost.
Humorously, I'd gotten a new job and was going to give notice; as soon as I bought an '89 Ford Escort and showed up at work: EVERYBODY said: "So what & where is your new job?" as that was the predictable pattern.
Anywho, loved that Ford Escort -- except for some reason, fuel filters frequently became clogged & had to be replaced (and fortunately I'd read the User's Manual as one time accidentally hit a curb and the car lost all power (and fuel); there was an automatic fuel-injection system safety cutoff in case of accidents or collisions.
It's life ended when a commercial truck ran into it while parked in a home driveway Circle (was out of town on business) -- but to the truck driver's credit, he left a note and assumed liability for having accidentally totaled it while attempting to maneuver in the tight street Circle.

There is something about generative AI that makes me mildly nauseous. The whole idea of training a system based on existing code and expecting that it will generate something as good or better eventually just doesn't seem right. I am watching a friend attempt to build a software package for a very specific business domain, and it keeps producing code that does not meet the requirements specified. I am going to look into the details soon, because while a very sharp person, he has no software development experience, and you kinda need some insight into how to test and maintain code in order to do this.

As much as I love and admire the great Randian Industrialist Elon Musk, I'm absolutely stunned that the spontaneous combustion of Teslas and other EVs hasn't destroyed the industry nor garnered much attention (outside of our beloved Buck Throckmorton and this Blog).

I'd have to put that to a spreadsheet for sure, but I have owned the Jeep discussed above since 2000. I read somewhere that the reason there were still very old vehicles being used as cabs is that the maintenance cost eventually levels-off. I was kind of annoyed at all of the "crush your vehicle for charity" thing that has been encouraged of late. Some old vehicles are junk all right, but many times you can get another 100,000 - 200,000 miles out of one with proper maintenance. Sorry, Salty...kinda went in a rant there. Again.

"Generative AI trashes all of that. The products of generative AI are not generally copyrightable"
At any company that produces software they sell or lease to others, that fact should have the lawyers screaming blue-bloody-murder about the risks of using generative AI to write source code. Losing control of one's product due to weaknesses in copyright is something they should be worried about, no?

It's a shame when you lose a beloved car. (Not being sarcastic; I hated being forced to total my '86 Mercedes 420SEL.) But your Escort must have been built at a totally different plant on totally different days of the week than was my '84 Escort. That car broke down and stranded me, or caused me a $$ repair, nearly every year of the six years I was forced to drive it. When I bought the first Olds Cutlass coupe, I traded the Ford in without a backward glance.

It says it's on a channel here.
I'm not sure if I've ever picked up the channel, though.
Sometimes it's difficult to get a signal here, even for the major networks. Especially because I've got one of those flat, octagonal, wall-hanger, HD antennas.
Apparently Movies! is playing a Planet of the Apes marathon for most of the day.
I'll have to hook up the antenna to the sat-box again and see if it'll come up when I do a channel scan.

Later I realized what I was doing wrong. I kept the '86 Mercedes 420SEL (which was already 15 when I finally paid it off) for another three years, though that was partly because I loved driving it. I kept the '03 Park Avenue for four years past the payoff, the Buick Regal for two, and the current LaCrosse I paid off in '21. Each month I hung on to the money I would have spent on a car note and tucked it into savings.
The LaCrosse is in many ways the best of the bunch, and I have no plans to replace it any time soon.

The LaCrosse, age ten now and with 92K miles, performed like an absolute champ on my 2K mile trip to and from Indiana -- as if it were a thoroughbred who'd been kept too long in a pasture and just wanted a chance to *run* and show what it could do.

It's good to know when to throw-in the towel.
The silver Olds Cutlass coupe seemed like a Mercedes in comparison.

I drove a number of old Ford/Mercury sedans (Galaxie 500, Mercury Marquis, Crown Victoria). Loved those vehicles! Great for long trips...not so great on snow and ice.

I wish! But it was worth something, though not much, in trade even then.
I'd thought to locate a recent Cadillac coupe (this was late '91). Couldn't, but the '89 silver-over-grey-cloth Olds Cutlass caught my eye. The dealer's idea of "service after the sale" was a bottle of touch-up paint, but the car was good and served me well, including a road trip to Carlsbad, NM, for four years. I liked it so well I bought another, a '94 in gold!

Apparently, a lot of govies lined up for food from a local food bank and they ran out. OK, I have no personal issues with charity. I have no issues with helping people out in these times.

Working on a project of the most unbelievable tedium. Part of it involves taking 419 journal article titles, plugging them in one by one into Google Scholar, going to the publisher's page for the article, downloading the citation with abstract and putting it into EndNote so a spreadsheet can be generated.

She was a paramedic for many years. Her experience with tattoo parlors was showing the owner a picture of a corpse saying "We have a body that we can't identify except for this tattoo. Can you help us?"

Eventually she became a nurse. One day, she and other nurses were put in a self defense class because they do get violent patients. The instructor held one of those training shields and had them attack.
The majority of the nurses were the cute 20 somethings that half-heartedly punched the target. Then it got to mom.
OK, I can tell you this as someone who has a black belt and studied LINE and MCMAP in the Marine Corps: When your opponent locks eyes with you and advances without fear, you are going to have an interesting time. She knocked him off the mat and he looked over and told the other nurses that this was what he was looking for.

Put everybody on welfare and universal basic income then.
We can spend $10 trillion a year of tax money to create $15 trillion in activity.
But considering the economy is now around $30 trillion GDP we might hit a few speed bumps, like a deep recession losing half the economy as it now is, but it'll be worth it just to show how economically literate we are.

new and delete are still part of C++, and I use them daily. Java does the memory management for/to you.

By itself, java is not so bad.
