Apple suunnittelee salasanasovellusta
Bloombergin Mark Gurmanin mukaan Apple aikoo esitellä ensi viikolla WWDC -kehittäjäkonferenssissa uutta Passwords -nimistä sovellusta, joka hallinnoi keskitetysti käyttäjänsä salasanoja. Sovellus siis kilpailee mm. LastPassin ja 1Passwordin kanssa.
Apple Inc. will introduce a new homegrown app next week called Passwords, aiming to make it easier for customers to log in to websites and software, according to people with knowledge of the matter.
The company is planning the new app as part of iOS 18, iPadOS 18 and macOS 15, the next major versions of its iPhone, iPad and Mac operating systems, said the people, who asked not to be identified because the initiative hasn’t been announced. The software, which can generate passwords and keep track of them, will be unveiled June 10 at Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference.
The new app is powered by the iCloud Keychain, a long-existing Apple service that can sync passwords and account information between different devices. This capability was previously hidden inside the company’s settings app or presented when a user logs in to a website.
Teslan hallitus otti kantaa Muskin puolesta
Teslan hallituksen puheenjohtaja Robyn Denholm on kannustanut yhtiön osakkeenomistajia äänestämään Elon Muskin 56 miljardin dollarin kompensaatiopaketin puolesta kesäkuun 13 päivä.
Jos kompensaatiopakettia ei hyväksytä on Denholmin mukaan vaarana, että Musk ei keskity enää Teslan liiketoimintaan samalla intensiteetillä kuin aiemmin. The Vergeltä:
Tesla board chair Robyn Denholm is calling on the company’s shareholders to approve Elon Musk’s massive $56 billion pay package or risk driving the billionaire CEO to greener pastures.
On June 13th, Tesla shareholders will decide the fate of Musk’s compensation package, which is estimated to be worth as much as $56 billion. It will be the second time that shareholders will vote on the CEO’s pay, after a Delaware judge voided the first one earlier this year on the grounds that the approval process was “deeply flawed.” And now the company is engaged in a full-court press to convince shareholders to approve the proposal a second time.
“Elon is not a typical executive, and Tesla is not a typical company,” Denholm writes in a letter to shareholders filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. “So, the typical way in which companies compensate key executives is not going to drive results for Tesla. Motivating someone like Elon requires something different.”
Later, she implies that Musk could decamp to “other places” without proper motivation. “What we recognized in 2018 and continue to recognize today is that one thing Elon most certainly does not have is unlimited time,” Denholm says. “Nor does he face any shortage of ideas and other places he can make an incredible difference in the world. We want those ideas, that energy and that time to be at Tesla, for the benefit of you, our owners. But that requires reciprocal respect.”
Meta tuo tekoälyominaisuuksia WhatsAppin yritystileihin
Mainitaan vielä, että Meta kertoi tuovansa tekoälyominaisuuksia WhatsAppin business-tileihin. Tilit voivat mm. käyttää tekoälyä vastaamaan asiakkaiden kysymyksiin ja luoda tekoälyllä mainoksia. Metalta:
We believe AI tools can help businesses get people the help they are looking for and find new products and services as well. We’re introducing ways for any business to use AI on the most popular questions they receive so you can get the answer you’re looking for fast. We’re also integrating AI tools to create an ad to run on Instagram or Facebook and to help make sure businesses are following up with customers that want to hear from them – for example to remind people they left an item in their cart or offer a discount for a purchase they’ve been waiting to make.

Googlen oppeja kielimallien käytöstä kehittäjätyökaluna
Google julkaisi eilen Hacker Newsissäkin trendanneen blogikirjoituksen jossa yhtiö jakoi oppejaan kielimallien integroimisesta ohjelmistokehitykseen kehittäjätyökaluksi.
Koko blogikirjoitus on lukemisen arvoinen, mutta eniten oman kokemuksen kanssa resonoi opit -osion kohta kaksi, missä todetaan ohjelmoijan roolin muuttuneen entistä enemmän tarkastajaksi.
Our work so far has taught us several things:
We achieved the highest impact with UX that naturally blends into users’ workflows. In all the above examples, a suggestion is presented to the user, taking them to the next step in their workflow with one tab or click. Experiments requiring the user to remember to trigger the feature have failed to scale.
We observe that with AI-based suggestions, the code author increasingly becomes a reviewer, and it is important to find a balance between the cost of review and added value. We typically address the tradeoff with acceptance rate targets.
Quick iterations with online A/B experiments are key, as offline metrics are often only rough proxies of user value. By surfacing our AI-based features on internal tooling, we benefit greatly from being able to easily launch and iterate, measure usage data, and ask users directly about their experience through UX research.
High quality data from activities of Google engineers across software tools, including interactions with our features, is essential for our model quality.
Toinen silmään ottanut huomio oli miten kehittäjillä on nyt enemmän aikaa käyttää ohjelmiensa suunnitteluun:
Our earlier blog describes the ways in which we improve user experience with code completion and how we measure impact. Since then, we have seen continued fast growth similar to other enterprise contexts, with an acceptance rate by software engineers of 37%[1] assisting in the completion of 50% of code characters[2]. In other words, the same amount of characters in the code are now completed with AI-based assistance as are manually typed by developers. While developers still need to spend time reviewing suggestions, they have more time to focus on code design.
