For most of us, having more than a couple dozen browser tabs open at once feels like a cluttered nightmare. But for one software engineer, managing nearly 7,500 active Firefox tabs is just another day at the office. And how many of them were the same page (because they couldn't find the original)?

The feature is rolling out to all YouTube Premium subscribers - here's how to enable it. The commercials?
At least as far as they seem to be concerned

Microsoft wants to improve Copilot's experiences in Windows and will use user feedback to make it happen. Probably nothing at all to do with the new security focus

Are they really telling this? If yes, it is like officially telling the world the gave a rat fat about people before.
I know, I know... we already knew that. But one thing is doing and another is telling the truth publicly

Professors are shifting away from syntax and emphasizing higher-level skills This will end well, won't it?
|
|

It's probably pretty good to shake stuff up if the focus has been on "syntax" instead of these higher-level skills they're gonna do now instead.
This does explain a lot.

Jesus Joseph and Mary as my dad would say.
This has ALWAYS been the case. Yes, you have to get over the syntax of your first language. No $hit Sherlock. And we need AI to do this? I fully expect a massive reduction in stupid silly college tuition costs.
In 1980, I took my first and only FORTRAN class in engineering school. Embracing the rules for coding syntax was enlightening, but I actually had a professor that taught us, "just because the compiler doesn't bitch should give you no expectation of your answers." The next 5 weeks, we explored the deeper details of floating point, rounding errors, accumulation of bad data, etc.
As offensive as it may sound, my dad had a quote, "You can teach an engineer to program, you cannot teach a programmer to engineer." Going to get some pop corn. This AI $hit is getting stupid.

Just getting stupid? 
Excellent points, all. And I like to repeat myself, “never be a {foo} developer, be a developer that knows {foo}”

An attempt by a Catholic advocacy group to spread the word of God using an AI model has backfired, and chat bot – Father Justin – has been pulled down and reworked. But Brawndo's got what parishioners crave. It's got electrolytes.
Edit: decided not to go with a direct quote, but a play on it instead

Where is people going to accept / to even realize, that IT IS NOT FVCKING AI, only advanced statistics.

When marketers will strip mine the word of its meaning and won't cause jumps in sales just by uttering it. Then it will be another shiny misnamed thing.

So much for the human touch. The members of this advocacy group need to be removed from the Church for failing to heed the 2nd Commandment "You shall make no idols"

I am not clicking on that  but with all due respect, Jesus Christ. Just wow. And I'm not catholic.
Meanwhile, Microsoft updated my Windows 10 VM with the latest randomware, and the VM's network no longer works, and I am going to send Chuckie to their offices.

what's even funnier now with this article is the latest interview with the pope. How the church can hold anyone accountable for anything is in question.

Starting with Windows 11 version 24H2, Microsoft's operating system requires ARM v8.1 to run. You have the right to bear ARM, just not on the new stuff

First link below the article:
"Why companies are leaving the cloud?"
My nice-to-have answer: Hopefully because common sense is getting wider in the C-Levels?
The probably answer: Because the greed of the cloud providers is too big and some companies have no other choice than to go back to something more predictable, like hosting own hardware?

Leaving the cloud?! Really? I wonder to what extent it's true, but I've always been amused by the centralized versus distributed manias. Mainframes => workstations => servers => desktops => The Cloud™.

So that old IBM CEO was right when he way back in the 1950s declared that "Europe will probably need no more than 3, maybe 4, clouds'.
