Researchers have successfully trained artificial intelligence to generate new clips of the prehistoric animated series based on nothing but random text descriptions of what’s happening in a scene. "Yabba dabba doo!"
Maybe I'll be able to get those new episodes of The Herculoids I've been waiting for.

But seeing an AI generate a cartoon, featuring iconic characters, all by itself, is a fascinating sneak peek at how some films and TV shows might be made one day.

Transporting yourself into a video game, body and all, just got easier. Artificial intelligence has been used to create 3D models of people’s bodies for virtual reality avatars, surveillance, visualizing fashion, or movies. I'm sure a certain film industry will never use this inappropriately

A businessman fighting for the "right to be forgotten" has won a UK High Court action against Google. Maybe they should sit more?

In my opinion, this really isn't Google's problem. The problem lies with those who retain the data. Obviously, with Google's caching of sites that is data retention, but if the data is on some site somewhere how is Google at fault for finding it? I don't get that part.

Over the last several years I have paired with people learning Functional Programming who have expressed an anti-OO bias. This usually comes in the form of statements like: “Oh, that’s too much like an Object.” FWIW

Sitting too much is not just hazardous for your heart and waistline — it may also harm the brain. I sat long enough to forget this study

Yet, I wasn't sitting when I forgot to turn on the dishwasher last night.
(another case where the headline is belied by the contents:
"...the researchers just assessed participants at one point in time, they can't be sure that the brain thinning was caused by sedentary behavior..."
And the conclusion makes no sense:
"...the amount of exercise study participants got didn't seem to have a significant effect on MTL thickness. But sedentary behavior did."
Beyond the cause/effect confusion, if the MTL can only thin and do so in a relatively short period of time, we're all doomed. Or the "study" is missing something.)

Remote working may not be as ideal as previously thought for some workers. Didn't I just post about how great remote working was?
Did the nutrition people take over studying business now? This week, coffee, alcohol, and remote work is if((rnd.Next() % 2) == 0) {return "good";} else {return "not good";}

Quote: A new research report from Citrix has found that remote working may actually hurt productivity and often makes employees feel disconnected, lonely, and not having access to all the right and necessary technology to get the work done on time, and in proper fashion.
And let me guess, that report recommends trebbling your IT budget and spending 80% of the new total on Citrix stuff to fix the problem.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

If the person who wrote the article is working remotely, it's good. Else it's bad.

Quote: and often makes employees feel disconnected
Fifteen years ago, the place I worked had an office in Israel working on an embedded device. The manager of the group would call seemingly random people at weird hours and just start talking. He was pleasant, but I couldn't figure out why he would call me.
Then the company decided to shut down the office. I volunteered to take over the project and was subsequently sent there for 2 1/2 weeks (best business trip ever.) I learned why the manager called; I gradually felt completely disconnected from the company.

Despite the rapid advances in technology, it seems many enterprises are still stuck in the past in terms of system architecture. Legacy deemed harmful?

Sticking to something that works is a proven tactic; it may be a good choice to not go for the opportunities.
