The public perceives OpenAI's ChatGPT as revolutionary, but the same techniques are being used and the same kind of work is going on at many research labs, says the deep learning pioneer. Can't make good whine with those sour grapes

I suppose more than one in those other research labs have hit the desk with their head a time or two since ChatGPT went live.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

Recent Windows 11 Insider builds include support for ReFS, the Resilient File System So the existing file system isn't resilient?
|
|
|
|
|
Unless you're running huge databases or virtual machines on Windows 11, ReFS means nothing. For general workloads ReFS is simply not a good file system.
|
|
|
|
|
Ah,that explains why it’s only on the server copies now. Thank you!

I am not a ReFS user, so I am not protesting or arguing against you.
I am just curious: Which properties of ReFS make you state that "ReFS is simply not a good file system" (for general workloads)?

Did users change their Wi-Fi password, or did they see the nature of IoT privacy? Maybe 1/2 their customers don't really want smart appliances?
I would have put that at about 90%, but I guess I'm just an old Luddite.

WTE would I need to start my dishwasher running or set my fridge's temperature from my smartphone? I have to physically fill and empty the dishwasher, and the fridge's temperature setting hasn't been changed since we bought it a few years ago.
Ditto for almost any other home appliance I can think of. IoT is an solution looking for a problem.

If you were a Luddite you wouldn't have a refrigerator in the first place. Good old Ice Box for you, or a smokehouse and salted meats.
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.

OpenAI's chat software ChatGPT, if let loose on the world, would score between a B and a B- on Wharton business school's Operations Management exam, and would approach or exceed the score needed to pass the US Medical Licensing Exam (USMLE). Let's see how it does without internet access

'struth - I know I'd definitely have troubles doing this without internet access

Well ... In the northernmost parts of Norway, in some villages the nearest birth clinic is 400 km (250 miles) away ... except when it closes for the summer; then you may have to travel close to 1000 km if you want to deliver under medically controlled conditions. Usually, the delivery can be planned a few days in advance, and you can also do some economic planning to cover the hotel expenses for maybe a week ...
For events that comes without planning, the local doctor may not have the full expertise to handle it. (S)he can, however, over the internet contact experts at the central hospital, using a webcam (of higher quality than the one in your portable!) to let the expert view wounds, rashes, unknown pills or chemicals, patient behavior and reactions etc., and discuss the best treatment. If I were living in such a place, I would be very happy if my local doctor consulted experts over internet if I have a medical condition that falls outside his field of expertise.
Certainly, this is quite different from surfing Wikipedia to find a possible answer. But it is using internet for obtaining information that the doctor needs for the best treatment.
(Actually, it started up before internet was established in Norway: They used a 2B (128 kbps) ISDN channel, and the doctor's office had a laserdisk player with thousands of very high quality medical pictures that the expert could refer to, e.g. for comparing the patient's rashes to. The first trial project ran from about 1985 onwards. Laserdisks never had any success in Norway/Europe (in USA, it had a moderate success for a few years), and when internet fiber became available everywhere, the player was replaced with a video camera.)

The U.S. Justice Department filed a lawsuit against Alphabet's Google on Tuesday over allegations that the company abused its dominance of the digital advertising business, according to a court document. Oh right. It's budget season, isn't it?
|
|
|
|
|
I'm hoping the judge tells the US to take a hike on this one. There's already an DOJ anti-trust lawsuit against Alphabet that is set to go to trial later this year.
|

|
|
|
I think this is the DOJ one? Unless they have multiple lined up, but I wouldn't be surprised.

Whether you’re passing secret notes in class or downloading images from a space probe, Reed-Solomon codes offer an ingenious way to embed information and correct for errors. "Don't know much about the algebra"
|

Quote: One surprisingly effective method uses Reed-Solomon codes, which are built on the same basic algebra that students learn in school Fun fact: everything is based on that. Literally everything.
Also, I hoped to read some mind-opening basic math article, which I love (I had a complicated relationship with math during Uni), and yet I found the most verbose and convoluted explanation of Linear Equations Systems I ever found in 35 years.

There are a number of ways that Visual Studio and Visual Studio Code enable you to interact with remote machines. Reach out and crash someone

Gone are the days where I spent the nights crashing my development environment.
Now I can crash everyone else's too!

Two new studies suggest that ransomware isn't the lucrative, enterprise-scale gotcha it used to be. Profits to attackers' wallets, and the percentage of victims paying, fell dramatically in 2022, according to two separate reports. Not to mention all the people counting unmarked bills, and checking behind the third park bench

Damn, what bummer, if one can't ransom and pillage anymore like in the good old days!
