> To compute the actual speedup – or, rather, slowdown! – provided by AI tools, the researchers compared the developers’ predictions of how long each task would take to the measured completion time.
I'm sorry, but it feels to me like this research has only proven that developers tend to underestimate how long a task is supposed to take, with or without AI.
In no way did they actually measure how much faster a specific task was when performed with and without AI?
I’m guessing that the 71 TiB is mostly used for media, as in, plex/jellyfin media, which is sad to loose but not unrecoverable. How would one ever store that much of personal data? I hope they have an off site backup for the all important unrecoverable data like family photos and whatnot.
We already do this in The Netherlands. We can use our drivers license or newer id cards to activate a digital identity app from the government, by scanning the nfc chip in it. Works great honestly.
I believe many services you log into then do not store much personal information, only what’s needed to connect to your id and of course whatever is needed for the service itself.
