I wouldn’t expect it to benchmark well, but it’s good that they’re making this available so developers can explore RISC-V on a good quality platform.

The last Windows that had any MS-DOS in it was Windows ME, a quarter of a century ago. Everything since then has run on the NT kernel.

I guess they say it each time they’re caught not prioritizing security. Then back to management as usual, prioritizing bullshit new features and marketing over security and bug fixes.

Why does it have a picture of Google’s CEO?

The fans will lap it up and all those Apple YouTubers will gush about how Apple’s new invention is the best invention ever. Apple has the advantage of owning a cult.

Because they’ll add it to the list of coercively and deceptively worded questions they force you to answer before you can use a WIndows account, phrase it so as to sound useful and harmless, and have a big friendly “Sounds great!” button and a tiny “No thanks, I prefer my life to be shit” link.

It’s hilarious – and also a bit sad – that Tan and his ilk assume that someone must be paying me to write. They apparently cannot imagine any human motivation beyond money. It does not occur to them that a person could simply be inspired to action because they care about things like community, democracy and truth.

See also: “if people weren’t under threat of unemployment ruining their lives, they wouldn’t be motivated to work.” Many right-wingers seem to have no conception of being motivated to do something because it’s good to do.

That’s what the article says. It seemed a little better than the usual clickbait because they got that out of the way early.

The article describes how the characteristics of this signal don’t match any of the current models for neutron stars or white dwarfs. So quite possibly, but the question is how.

I hear Pluto’s nice at this time of year.

Neuronal firing is often understood as a fundamentally binary process, because a neuron either fires an action potential or it does not. This is often referred to as the “all-or-none” principle.

Isn’t this true of standard multi-bit neural networks too? This seems to be what a nonlinear activation function achieves: translating the input values into an all-or-nothing activation.

The characteristic of a 1-bit model is not that its activations are recorded in a single but but that its weights are. There are no gradations of connection weights: they are just on or off. As far as I know, that’s different from both standard neural nets and from how the brain works.

I think once it has taken a profile of the voice it no longer requires you to be facing the person because it can now recognize that voice among the noise. The AI but is taking an imprint of the voice and then extracting it.

What’s especially troubling is that many human programmers seem to prefer the ChatGPT answers. The Purdue researchers polled 12 programmers — admittedly a small sample size — and found they preferred ChatGPT at a rate of 35 percent and didn’t catch AI-generated mistakes at 39 percent.

Why is this happening? It might just be that ChatGPT is more polite than people online.

It’s probably more because you can ask it your exact question (not just search for something more or less similar) and it will at least give you a lead that you can use to discover the answer, even if it doesn’t give you a perfect answer.

Also, who does a survey of 12 people and publishes the results? Is that normal?

Huh, I’ve found The GitHub Copilot better. You still can’t trust it when it talks about APIs, though. Or anything else really - you have to keep your wits about you. I use it for suggestions on where to start with things, or for testing my assumptions, or for generating boilerplate code, but not for copying and pasting anything critical.

The answer received for the pizza glue query appears to be based on a comment from a user named “fucksmith” in a more than decade-old Reddit thread, and they’re clearly joking.

Lol. And this is Google, the company that has spent decades engineering ways to sift good information from bad on the internet.

It has popped up on a couple of my Windows 11 PCs, but so far it just seems to be a button that brings up the same chat/search hybrid you get on Bing.

1. Microsoft
2. Advertisers and other “trusted partners” of Microsoft
3. Your employer
4. Governments and police
5. Anyone who’s actually hoodwinked by the “AI is cool” marketing

“Recall screenshots are only linked to a specific user profile and Recall does not share them with other users, make them available for Microsoft to view, or use them for targeting advertisements. Screenshots are only available to the person whose profile was used to sign in to the device,” Microsoft says.

It’s conspicuous that this statement talks only about the raw screenshots, not any data derived from them (such as aggregated data, inferred data, or even just slightly reprocessed data). So Microsoft could do any minor reworking of the data and send it off to the cloud for their own purposes, while technically complying with the above.

Ah yes, and unsanctioned art will be classified as a form of terrorism.

Why does this article use the term “real ads” every time instead of just “ads”? Is this just weird or does it have a technical meaning?
