"To underscore the consequences of not having that kind of data, Smiley pointed to a recent attempt to rewrite SQLite in Rust using AI."

"It passed all the unit tests, the shape of the code looks right," he said. It's 3.7x more lines of code that performs 2,000 times worse than the actual SQLite.

I first learned how to program in 1984 at 14. The tech press said I'd be obsolete by 25, due to age.

About 1990 tech press said the Japanese were building fifth generation computers to make me obsolete.

In 2000, the dot com bubble bursting was said to make me obsolete.

There's been neural networks, no-code, and more, since then, to make me obsolete.

Now it's LLMs.

Excuse me while I sit here and don't panic.

We issued an RFP for the same hardware that we ordered in September 2025. The quoted price is 3.5 times higher than the previous price for the exact same hardware. In addition, the offer validity is now limited to only three days.

"President Trump’s CYBER STRATEGY for America"

The strategy does not explicitly mention Coordinated Vulnerability Disclosure (CVD) or vulnerability disclosure programs.

Basically it's more about offensive posture, infrastructure protection, and technology dominance.

Cybersecurity independence for Europe is no longer optional, it has become a strategic necessity.
