General Motors on Monday confirmed layoffs of more than 1,000 salaried employees in its software and services division, in a move that suggests enterprises are rethinking their software and digital transformation strategies. Meaningful analysis is difficult because GM’s internal and external comments are cryptic about the reasons for the layoffs. Various industry observers said the move almost certainly reflects a decision to outsource those software efforts to technology partners. But GM itself said only that these software efforts were a lower priority than unidentified other business needs,...

For many stakeholders, there is plenty to love about open source software. Developers tend to enjoy the ability to speed application development by borrowing open source code. CFOs like the fact that open source is often free or low in cost. IT teams benefit from the sprawling, dynamic support communities that surround major open source projects. Yet, for CISOs, open source is more likely in many cases to inspire fear than love. Open source libraries and modules have been at the heart of many of the major software supply chain security vulnerabilities in recent years – which is not surprising ...

OpenAI announced on Wednesday a new approach to AI development, one that it said “aligns models to behave safely without extensive human data collection,” although some have raised concerns about AI interacting with AI. The move coincided with an announcement to address questions about safety priorities, following the reassignment of a key safety executive. On Tuesday, OpenAI Chief Executive Sam Altman said that AI safety leader Aleksander Madry is working on “a new research project”, according to anews report from Reuters. Other reports, including one from CNBC, said that Madry was being reas...

Good coding practices for performance and efficiency have been part of software engineering since the earliest days. “When we were programming mainframes, every character counted,” says Sanjay Podder, chair of Green Software Foundation, an organization that aims to build a trusted ecosystem of people, standards, tooling and best practices for green software. But over the past few decades, the overwhelming need for speed and productivity pushed architectural efficiency concerns to the background. Computers that piggyback on vast libraries with extraneous lines of code, developers who have lost ...

By Paul Krill Rust has leaped to its highest position ever in the monthly Tiobe index of language popularity, scaling to the 13th spot this month, with placement in the top 10 anticipated in an upcoming edition. Previously, Rust has never gone higher than 17th place in the Tiobe Programming Index. Tiobe CEO Paul Jansen attributed Rust’s ascent in the just-released July index to a February 2024 US White House report recommending Rust over C/C+, for safety reasons. He also credited the growing community and ecosystem support for the language. “Rust is finally moving up. After the tailwind of the...

By Peter Wayner In 2007, some of the programmers at Google looked at their options for writing software and didn’t like what they saw. They needed to manage millions of lines of code that would be constantly storing and shipping data for the world wide web. The code would juggle thousands or maybe millions of connections on networks throughout the globe. The data paths were full of challenges from race cases and concurrency. The existing programming languages weren’t much help. They were built for games or managing desktops, or many of the other common tasks from a world before the web browser...
