It can digest an enormous codebase in mere minutes and accurately answer targeted questions about it. It can write tests, examine failures, propose [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The benefits of automatic license plate readers outweigh the dangers, Richard Hanania argues: There are now around 120,000 Flock cameras in operation across the US. These devices automatically read license plates and make their locations available to law enforcement. Flock now also makes it possible to look up cars by their descriptions, rather than just [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Rafael A. Mangual argues that the pushback against Automated License Plate Readers (ALPRs) is misguided: One company, Flock Safety, has become the movement’s primary target. Flock cameras, like other ALPRs, capture information about vehicles—not the people inside them—as they pass. They record license plates, along with details such as a car’s make, model, color, and [&#8230;]]]></description>

And, as coding is done by AIs in specialized harnesses and apps, other roles start to become coders of a sort. And they are good at it. A [&#8230;]]]></description>

Sometimes only 1-2 sentences would be the whole of the Admiralty’s direction to a ship’s Captain for months at a [&#8230;]]]></description>

At some point in this last decade, it came up somehow, as a bit of a punchline, because it features Gene Simmons — yes, Gene [&#8230;]]]></description>

If your rocket has a multi-megawatt power plant, an absurdly high thrust thermal rocket propulsion system, or directed energy [&#8230;]]]></description>
