They were going to print out my weaknesses for the all important review time. Luckily inventory management is one of my weaknesses and we didn't have any paper left to do it.

The headline makes it look like some AI can gauge your expertise.
If you read the article, it becomes clear that it is simply a list of all the courses that Coursera offers that you did not order yet. Meaning that according to this "AI", Zuckerberg, Linus and Gates have no expertise at all.
Come on, that's selling a query as AI simply to save on advertising costs; it will not be used to judge resumes.

That it makes no sense at all and that a company doing so loses all credibility and frightens every person with healthy common sense... it is crystal clear.
But no company will use it?
After seeing what some companies / HHRR do in the interviews... it would not surprise me that some start to "sort out" using the new "fancy AI process"

Top web browsers 2018: IE, Edge and Firefox return to the road of ruin | Computerworld[^]
I've been strictly using Chrome for at about 3 years.
I switched to Firefox today to see if I could.
Chrome is way too popular and you know why? Convenience.
The way it saves your activity across computers and sessions is quite amazing. (But maybe that is actually intrusive too?)
Can I live without that? Can you?
We will see.
EDIT
I've held out all day with FF and I'm happy so far. I also learned that it was very easy to sign up for FF's service which saves your tabs, history , etc across devices. Also it seems like you can manage the data more precisely.
EDIT 2
Last night I switched to FF at home too. And this morning my FF browsers are synced via the FireFox service. Very cool. I'll probably install mobile FF on my Android phone too.
So far, so good.

I like FF. It's had hiccups here and there with tech changes that didn't go well like when it first switched to multi-process but overall it's been great.
|
|

|

Yeah, it's working quite well and I notice that it doesn't fail / stop while playing my Amazon Music stream like Chrome was doing all the time. INteresting.

I am a fan of FF too … and I use it wherever possible, next to IE11 or Egde
But it is not clear from the article what are the market shares of the browsers …
( {complaint_start} the author forgot to add pictures with statistics {complaint_end}
… or I was not able to find them … )

Mozilla wants you to be a little more adventurous. It's introducing a new Test Pilot experiment, Advance, that recommends stories based on both your current page and recent web history. It looks like you're trying to avoid work. Would you like help with that?

Does it look like I need help with that?

Python climbs up TIOBE's search engine-based index of programming language popularity. sigh.

There was a discussion here recently regarding TIOBE. IIRC, the general consensus was that the TIOBE index is garbage.

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?

Researchers from the University of Pittsburgh have recently developed a conditional variational autoencoder that can produce unique faces for advertisements. Hurrah! A way to create more advertisements, more quickly
Who couldn't love that? ugh.

Microsoft is giving its Skype 7.0 'Classic' variant for Windows desktop a temporary reprieve, following many users complaining of its impending September 1 shutdown. People like Skype?

I think the point is... they like the Skype version that at least works and don't want to get updated to the "new super hyper cooler" version that is / was being rolled out
