It accompanies the release of a new report highlighting key areas to focus quantum research. You can either know the position of the government on quantum computing, or the rate of progress?
What can I say? It sounded like a good idea when I started to type it, but I'm obviously done for the week. Toodles!

If they had launched 2 sites they would have become entangled anyway.
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.

I am not sure to be ready to navigate a site that is online and offline at the same time...

While the Microsoft Store is a distant 3rd place in mindshare and actual customer usage, the company has the current benefit of not being dragged into court over anti-competitive app store practices like its peers. "With a great big hug and a kiss from me to you, won't you say you love me too?"

Will it go the way of "don't be evil"?

Businesses need to provide their employees with the proper means to work remotely. It's not hard to choose between a cube and your crib
|

Apparently remote meetings are too exhausting and the lack of a commute makes workers unproductive.

Microsoft has consolidated support.office.com and support.microsoft.com into a unified support site to make it easier for you to find support and troubleshooting resources for Microsoft 365. That there will be lots and lots (and lots) of them to come

I hope that it works better than the replacement of MSDN...

After 44 years, there’s finally a better way to find approximate solutions to the notoriously difficult traveling salesperson problem. And all those traveling salespeople will be delighted with the result
Finally, they'll be able to reach all their customers and sell them brushes and vacuum cleaners more efficiently.

Quote: have proved that an algorithm devised a decade ago beats Christofides’ 50% factor, though they were only able to subtract 0.2 billionth of a trillionth of a trillionth of a percent.
 The ol' Planck scale comparison.

After an impressive run, the user was revealed to be a bot using OpenAI’s remarkable language model GPT-3. And now we’re looking at every “person” online with an extra level of scepticism. Seems like a pretty standard reaction to being on Reddit for any length of time

I think I heard someone say they were renaming the successor from GPT-4 to K.E.N.T. (Keyboard Emulating Neural Turing) next year.

Microsoft will soon offer different installation experiences when setting up Windows 10 based on how you plan on using the computer. Don't worry - no matter what you check, you'll still get Candy Crush

In other words... they will still need to get more "telemetry" to be able to offer the "best installation experience" specially for you

I just installed Windows 10 on my son's computer. I was going for Consumer, but it installed Enterprise instead, then wouldn't let me create users with a Microsoft Account login without joining a domain, so I had to create a local account, go in and look for where to put in the Consumer license key so he could just use his MS account like a normal person. Sheesh.
