Amazon Web Services is the latest entrant to the generative AI game with the announcement of App Studio, a groundbreaking tool capable of building complex software applications from simple written prompts. TechCrunch’s Ron Miller reports: "App Studio is for technical folks who have technical expertise but are not professional developers, and we’re enabling them to build enterprise-grade apps," Sriram Devanathan, GM of Amazon Q Apps and AWS App Studio, told TechCrunch. Amazon defines enterprise apps as having multiple UI pages with the ability to pull from multiple data sources, perform complex operations like joins and filters, and embed business logic in them. It is aimed at IT professionals, data engineers and enterprise architects, even product managers who might lack coding skills but have the requisite company knowledge to understand what kinds of internal software applications they might need. The company is hoping to enable these employees to build applications by describing the application they need and the data sources they wish to use.
Examples of the types of applications include an inventory-tracking system or claims approval process. The user starts by entering the name of an application, calling the data sources and then describing the application they want to build. The system comes with some sample prompts to help, but users can enter an ad hoc description if they wish. It then builds a list of requirements for the application and what it will do, based on the description. The user can refine these requirements by interacting with the generative AI. In that way, it’s not unlike a lot of no-code tools that preceded it, but Devanathan says it is different. […] Once the application is complete, it goes through a mini DevOps pipeline where it can be tested before going into production. In terms of identity, security and governance, and other requirements any enterprise would have for applications being deployed, the administrator can link to existing systems when setting up the App Studio. When it gets deployed, AWS handles all of that on the back end for the customer, based on the information entered by the admin.

An anonymous reader shares a report: Cybernews researchers discovered what appears to be the largest password compilation with a staggering 9,948,575,739 unique plaintext passwords. The file with the data, titled rockyou2024.txt, was posted on July 4th by forum user ObamaCare. While the user registered in late May 2024, they have previously shared an employee database from the law firm Simmons & Simmons, a lead from an online casino AskGamblers, and student applications for Rowan College at Burlington County. The team cross-referenced the passwords included in the RockYou2024 leak with data from Cybernews’ Leaked Password Checker, which revealed that these passwords came from a mix of old and new data breaches. "In its essence, the RockYou2024 leak is a compilation of real-world passwords used by individuals all over the world. Revealing that many passwords for threat actors substantially heightens the risk of credential stuffing attacks," researchers said.

Splitting an object into pieces by cutting it has proven invaluable in everything from starting fires to the production of goods. New Mind offers an in-depth exploration of the physics at work when we chop, cut, saw, slice, dice, and machine things to make more things. Along the way, you’ll learn about the history and development of cutting tools.

Dude.

There’s nothing more left to be said. If I were Donald Trump, I would take the weekend off had I not had a rally planned in the suddenly swingy state of Virginia. Where he is making his first public appearance with … a potential running mate?

I think the word "ad" should be used loosely. Ads have points put behind them and are run on television or Goog… ok, Google would never. But TV, sure. This is a digital video. Trump’s social media team had a lot to work with and, if I were to guess, got into the bourbon. They had fun. This was an easy layup.

IF Team Trump wanted to put this up on TV in any combination of Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Arizona, Nevada, and/or Georgia, there would be nothing for the station to reject. Trump isn’t making any claims, misleading or otherwise. Trump isn’t saying anything at all. It’s nothing but ninety seconds of him promoting his opponent.

What would a network do? You can’t claim "cheap fake" anymore. Joe Biden’s braindead gaze took away what the Left and the media (but I repeat myself) were hoping to use as a talking point for the rest of the summer. Trump doesn’t need to say anything himself. Biden said it all last night, at an event designed to make him look good, in his special Biden way.

Not that the ad/digital video couldn’t use a little more Trump. I just need one line:

As of this writing, Joe Biden still has a full day of campaigning scheduled.

As of this writing, at least.
