Microsoft finally open sources DOS 1.0 – and it’s so much more than the code

ZDNET’s key takeaways PC-DOS 1.00 would lead to Microsoft becoming computing’s top dog Microsoft continues to embrace open source.  The source code and annotations provide insight into the operating system’s earliest days. Before “Micro Soft” became Microsoft, Bill Gates wrote BASIC interpreters. Microsoft’s first shipping operating system was a Unix distro called Xenix. Then, in 1980, Microsoft got its shot at the big time: IBM needed an operating system for its planned IBM PC and asked Gates if he could deliver one. You betcha! The rest is history.  Now, Microsoft has released the source code and notes for PC-DOS 1.00, the first DOS release for the IBM PC. Also: Microsoft’s incredible rise, 15 lost years, and stunning comeback – in 4 charts Microsoft’s AT&T Unix license didn’t give the company the leeway to port Xenix to the x86 IBM PC. That would have led to a very different world with Unix as the top desktop operating system from then until today. In another reality, Linus Torvalds …

Destroyed servers and DoS attacks: What can happen when OpenClaw AI agents interact

Destroyed servers and DoS attacks: What can happen when OpenClaw AI agents interact

Baac3nes/Moment via Getty Follow ZDNET: Add us as a preferred source on Google. ZDNET’s key takeaways  Novel AI risks emerge when agents interact. Risks reflect fundamental flaws in the design of agentic software. Responsibility lies with developers to address fundamental flaws. An increasing body of work points to the risks of agentic AI, such as last week’s report by MIT and collaborators that documented a lack of oversight, measurement, and control for agents. However, what happens when one AI agent meets another? Evidence suggests things can turn even worse, according to a report published this week by scholars at Stanford University, Northwestern, Harvard, Carnegie Mellon, and several other institutions.  Also: AI agents are fast, loose and out of control, MIT study finds The result of agent-to-agent interaction was the destruction of server computers, denial-of-service attacks, vast over-consumption of computing resources, and the “systematic escalation of minor errors into catastrophic system failures.” “When agents interact with each other, individual failures compound and qualitatively new failure modes emerge,” wrote lead author Natalie Shapira of Northeastern University and collaborators in the …
