In a study published Wednesday in the journal Neurology, researchers revealed that people with chronic insomnia, described as having trouble sleeping at least three days a week for three months or more, were significantly more likely to develop mild cognitive impairment or dementia than their healthy counterparts. “Ins

After AI Led to Layoffs, Coders Are Being Hired to Fix ‘Vibe-Coded’ Screwups

gizmodo.com Lucas Ropek 2025-10-11 07:30:49

AI has certainly disrupted many parts of society, including education, social media, and politics. Most of all, it seems to have disrupted the tech industry itself, where what was once a profitable career (software development) increasingly seems to be more of a precarious one, thanks to the rise of so-called “vibe coding”—a form of AI-assisted software development that requires les

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-10-11 07:02:39
