You can say farewell to Steps Recorder in future releases of Windows. Who Mourns for Step Recorder?
If a product gets cut and no one notices, does it still free disk space?

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?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Amazon has announced that its Astro robot now has a new functionality in the form of a security robot, which is available to small and medium businesses in the U.S. starting today as Astro for Business. "Please put down your weapon. You have 20 seconds to comply."
Although this one looks more like it could be removed from service by one swift kick (through the goalposts)
Yup, $2350+20-99/month seems like a great investment. /sarcasm

As artificial intelligence reaches the peak of its popularity, researchers have warned the industry might be running out of training data—the fuel that runs powerful AI systems. They could just make stuff up - that's worked for people

They're trying to train AI, not AD.

I thought they were going for the full human experience!

PS - how did you get the popup tool for the AI and AD markups? That is the first I've seen them on here.

<acronym title="The tool-tip">The text</acronym> Technically, it's the wrong element, and is now deprecated[^]. But it's the one that's had a CSS style for the double-underline in the CodeProject stylesheet for as long as I can remember.

Cool! Thanks! And now I'll never use it, and forget about it - but it is cool!

Proof that we're not training AI properly. Humans don't need this type of training, and they're generally considered intelligent to some degree.

Note that in the US, the degrees are smaller (5/9) than those in Europe.

Wrong. Humans do need this type of training, but are designed to collect training data from their surroundings. I present as evidence the way children pick up language, from babbling to mispronounced words, to incorrect grammar, to (hopefully) correct grammar using correctly-pronounced words.

The difference is humans do this automatically; machines don't. We need to figure out how to get machines to do this automatically.

So no NEW data will be created after 2026? Sounds like a Mayan calendar, they ran out of space on the rock.
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.
I’m begging you for the benefit of everyone, don’t be STUPID.

When I studied IT, one essential 'philosophical' distinction was that of information vs. data. Data is (or rather: may be) some representation of information. Take a plain text file vs. a zipped version of it: The data is reduced by significant factor, yet the information is the same, both in volume and in content.
I am 110% sure3 that there will be created a lot more data after 2026. I am not sure that there will be that much more information, though. (A little, yes, but not much compared to the increase of data.)
Then: Some of this new data, even though it represents little new information, it may come in a form avilable to both AI and other uses. I can think of lots of information that I manage which is unavailable for training either AI or something else, and I am doing my best to keep it from remaining that way. E.g. I am trying to reduce my electronic tracks as much as possible - leaving my smartphone at home when I go out, paying by cash, staying away from common asocial media and stuff. The information about me and my life exists, somewhere (e.g. in my memory). It may be forced out of secrecy: E.g. communicating using non-trackable channels, spending money in a non-trackable way, may be outlawed or made practically impossible by 2026.
We already have a lot of it: I can't more around in my car in a non-trackable way. I can't make any spending exceeding about 3000 Euros in a non-trackable way. My doctor can't give me a non-trackable prescription for the chemicals my body needs. Lot of such things. More are added all the time. Maybe, in 2026, I can't buy myself a sixpack of beer without the information being available to the health authorities and their AI system.

This article is about pair exploring: why to pair program, or, maybe more accurately, when to pair program. Jack and Jill went into some code to fix a tenacious bug...
Jack fell down a rabbit hole, and Jill was soon to give up

Until its not. Ever since computers have been able to talk to each other in a "reliable" fashion, there's been a constant back-and-forth between centralized and decentralized software. Lets off load from the mainframe to minis! Distributed data sucks! Lets bring all the data back to the mainframe! PC's are the wave of the future, move all software out to the PCs! I can't get my monthly report because the internet is down? Repatriate everything back to the server farm! Why can't I run this stuff on my phone? yada yada yada ...
This is just the next round in this never-ending cycle. Eventually the CEO of MegaCorp is going to want to access something that's not available because either the cloud is not available, or a rental payment went astray. Or the CFO is going to do some math and realize a purchase with upgrade fees works out better for the bottom line, and software ownership will be considered best practice. Or rivals using a purchase model will start to eat MS lunch. Or ...
