Microsoft to buy 4% of London Stock Exchange in 10-year platform deal
Server installer fails to spot STOP button – because he wasn't an archaeologist

Re: Hearing a 'click'
My 6th form college had a sports hall built and the climbing wall had a fire exit in the middle with a fire alarm next to it. All the pupils were sensible and managed to not use it as a foothold; however, one of the teachers did stick her foot in it (figuratively and literally)
Oddly enough they put a cage around it not long afterwards
Inadequate IT partly to blame for NHS doctors losing 13.5 million working hours

Re: another closed system with no upgrade path
I think part of the problem is that the ancient software (Cerner in your case, EMIS for mine) was designed in an era when everyone had to use a ethernet-attached |Windows OS desktop with a horrid native exe designed to Win 95 era GUI/UX. Any NHS smartcard-based logins meant that for that one session, you had the machine to yourself and could tolerate a 5-7min from login screen to working desktop as it was a once-only occurrence.
My local hospital implemented a remote desktop system not long ago which would solve a number of these problems. Performance was good enough that the physiotherapists and medics could look at my MRIs etc. They used to log on with their smartcards too.

Re: What about missing patients?
> Paper is better.
In ancient history I was a temp in a hospital (paper) records library.
There were shelves and shelves of bits of letters, test results etc which hadn't been labeled, but we couldn't chuck out.
I spent a week with another member of staff searching microfilms for someone's lost records.
I can recall a few people's notes who were so big they needed a trolley to themselves - good luck searching that!

HP Inc to lay off up to 6,000 staff, cut costs by $1.4 billion
Wednesday 23rd November 2022 14:51 GMT 
Among those labor[sic] costs will be the payouts required to shed between 4,000 and 6,000 staff between now and the end of FY 2025.
I guess this means that those 1000s of staff will do the bare minimum or less for the next few years which sucks for the employees (but also HP, but it was their decision, so zero sympathy)

Jaguar Land Rover courts coders caught in big tech layoffs
Tuesday 22nd November 2022 12:18 GMT
Re: Need more than coders
As I said before, I was told about an hour before I posted the above by a Landrover garage that the parts shortage has hit them so hard that their delivery times or something like a year or more and yes, they admitted that the specs of the car that you order might change in that time, as can the price (and no, don't expect it to be less).
Is this the same Jaguar who came on here to say how great graph databases are for supply chains?

Re: Widen the optical
"We as an industry get hung up on looking for folks who have been there, done that, and want talent to jump in and hit the ground running," he continued. "We need to slow down a bit and widen the optical on what represents new talent to bring into the field."

Lately, the Who, Me? stories seem to be very old. Some may find the following explanations disturbing.* El Reg's readership is very old
* The younger generation is smarter, more skilful, and less prone to making mistakes.
Or maybe people only want to share old screwups to not risk their current employment and/or being sued for confidentiality reasons by their current or recent employer...

Multi-factor auth fatigue is real – and it's why you may be in the headlines next
Friday 4th November 2022 10:55 GMT
The default behaviour of phones' 2FA alerts also lends itself to theft. In London there's a thief (thieves?) who steal women's phones and credit cards and then rack up a huge number of purchases.

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin: If Musk's Twitter flops, it's not such a bad thing
Thursday 3rd November 2022 08:11 GMT
The founder revealed that before the switch, Ethereum was consuming the same amount of electricity as an average wealthy country of three million people."Now Ethereum consumes less energy than most mainstream – even centralized – web services that everyone uses today." ®
Still too much...
And the CO2 from that "country" is still floating around the atmosphere heating the earth...

A next-gen AI protein folder that could help science? Meta's good for something
Wednesday 2nd November 2022 10:54 GMT
The model was able to create the ESM Metagenomic Atlas, predicting over 600 million structures from the MGnify90 protein database in just two weeks running on 2,000 GPUs. On a single Nvidia V100 GPU, it takes just 14.2 seconds to simulate a protein made up of 384 amino acids. It seems from the paper that Meta said its system mostly, but not fully, matched AlphaFold on accuracy though its speed is the key thing, allowing it to predict more proteins.
So showing off mostly - actual scientists can only use models that are reasonably accurate...
