It’s like having a newbie version or Ableton—or some web-based tool for creating simple beats—right on your desktop. It's better sounding than my last budget forecast spreadsheet

The institute originally announced the system, GPT-2, in February this year, but withheld the full version of the program out of fear it would be used to spread fake news, spam, and disinformation. So it's only "kind of dangerous"? Dangerish?

well crap talk was always dangerous.. this needs to be shutdown... I'm afraid I can't do that, Dave.

It looks like Microsoft could finally bring Chromium-powered Edge, the revamped browser with dark mode and a set of exciting features to Linux. Because there aren't any web browsers for Linux?

... and they either come with Chrome pre-installed, or already have a tool to download Chrome.
I'm really not seeing the point of this.

Researchers from the University of Cambridge have built a neural network they claim can solve the three-body problem much faster than a conventional computer, giving astronomers a leg up in understanding phenomena such as the behavior of star clusters as they collapse or the formation of black hole systems. OK, smarty-pants, do four now
I guess they'll have to rename that Liu Cixin book now (it's pretty good, IMO)

Microsoft rewrote a low-level Windows component in Rust. Calls the experience "generally positive." And people think the existing Windows codebase is rusty

I am certain MS will digest Rust, and, soon, come up with a rebranded initiative named "Fungus."

Quote: verdigris (n.)c. 1300, vertegrez, from Old French verte grez (13c.), verte de Grece (late 12c.), literally "green of Greece," from obsolete French verd, from Latin viridis (see verdure). The reason for it being called that is not known. In other languages, "green of Spain" (German grünspan, Danish spanskgrönt, Dutch spaansch-groen), from Medieval Latin viride Hispanum. Current spelling in English is from 1789. In chemistry, confined to a basic copper acetate; popularly applied to the green encrustation on copper or brass exposed to the air.

Yup. You get 1 fake internet point for guessing which part of that I was thinking of.
