In the lab at least, its materials are stable for over 1,000 cycles. Time to invest in lithium

Time to invest in the companies that create the machines / chemical products to extract / depurate lithium

Microsoft announced the upgraded search engine alongside a new Edge web browser. Microsoft is describing the combination as an ‘AI-powered copilot for the web.’ * Now with intelligence!
"The “new Bing,” as Microsoft is calling it, offers a “chat” function, where users can ask questions and receive answers from the latest version AI language model built by OpenAI." <-- because I've always wanted to chat with something about my search results.

So... we are going to get another annoying wave of updates misconfiguring windows settings so that bing and edge comes up again as the standard browser and search engine?

I asked Bing and it said "No, of course not. By the way, I've got this nice bridge you might like to buy."

In this lawsuit, Getty alleged that Stability AI went so far as to remove Getty’s copyright management information, falsify its own copyright management information, and infringe upon Getty’s “famous trademarks” by duplicating Getty’s watermark on some images.
Generating things that look like Getty's watermark in their output is a special kind of stupid.

Waaayyy back in the 80s I was working for a non-union print shop. One order we got was for some political dinner or similar. The client had us put a kind of small blurry oval in the corner which was intended to look a bit like a union logo.

A look at what went into building the world's largest public code search index. Step 0: Find code that searches code

Step 1: throw away everything except what you find on Code Project. 
Seriously though, it's disturbing reading that article. When I search for code (like on StackOverflow or even my own code base) I'm parsing for meaning: does this code "mean" something similar to what I'm looking for?
It's weird (if I read the article correctly) that GitHub's code search has no concept of "meaning" - it's producing search results based strictly on n-grams.
It disturbs me that the implication is that "these things are like each other except..." can be determined by their combination of letters occurring in particular sequences rather than by an understanding of the meaning of those letters when put together as "code."
So what really is "meaningful?" Philosophers will have fun with this, but in a meaningless kind of way.

If you need that level of search you need something like Google (which makes me wonder why embedded Bing wasn't an option for Gihub). SEO, more than anything else IMO, is why Stackoverflow has crushed the competition over the last decade or so.
What github's done is to make full text search scale to terabytes of code. A grep search across all the code they have would cost about 200k core seconds. 🤮 So while not Google, what they have created is still useful for some cases as well as being something that apparently none of the existing off the shelf text search tools could scale to either.

Google is working on a competitor to OpenAI’s chatbot ChatGPT. The ‘experimental conversational AI service’ is called Bard and is only being tested by a limited group. Time to cast "Vicious mockery"

Cool.
I wonder how long will it take to be rolled out and how long it will take after that to start getting abused

It has been a long time since we have updated our strategy because our commitments to the languages that you rely on and how we think about them don’t change year to year. The maiden, the matron, and the crone
"Each .NET language is unique. C# is the most widely used language and the language most of .NET is written in. F# explores new language possibilities and the community provides a rich experience across platforms. We remain committed to Visual Basic and continue to invest in maintaining C# interop and Visual Studio features for folks that love Visual Basic or want a stable language." <-- As a (mostly) past VB dev, this makes me sad. But I guess as the wise man always said, "On Error Resume Next". :P

Interesting read. I especially liked the links. As a VB developer I read the VB strategy, which boils down to if it ain't broke don't fix it.

You undid 5 years of therapy with a single line of code. I was living so blissfully without the usual nightmares, PTSD, shivers, cold sweat, fits of coprolalia and insane screeching.

A new report has uncovered the alarming figure that businesses are wasting every year on unused software licenses. I've got a license...a license to install

Yep - part of it is because businesses have a hard time keeping track of non-physical items. A bigger part is the way software licensing is handled and the penalties for "undercounting" the needs. BSA (Business Software Alliance) is notorious for taking companies to court for an honest clearical mistake and requesting huge amounts of money, to the extent that BSA (Business Software Alliance) should be considered a racketeering organization.
