You’ll need an ARM64 processor like the Snapdragon X Elite with NPU, 225GB of storage (SSD), and up to 16GB of RAM to use Windows 11 version 24H2’s highly anticipated “AI Explorer”. Something else to avoid upgrading
|
|
|
|
|
Only ARM64 is pretty weird.
Are they AI lip-sticking their ARM pig?
Do they know it's not that great so it's more about limiting exposure by containing to a segment they know will not be seeing much growth/bulk?
|

If this can provoke the makers of mainboards to produce a selection of ARM64 based cards with the same flexibility and expandability as the x64 boards (preferably using the same RAM, display cards, power supplies etc. etc. as their x64 counterparts), I think that would be a mark of progress. I suspect the day is getting closer.
At the time, I am not considering upgrading my desktop PC. My 2015 vintage x64 machine serves me well while I am waiting, but I am impatient. I'd like to play around with an ARM64, both at the instruction level and to see how well it fares with a complex OS on top. MS has worked closely with Intel to make sure OS and CPU matches(*) - I do not know if there has been a similarly close cooperation MS / ARM. At least the cooperation is not by far as long-lasting.
(*) Such as Raymond Chen's story about when Intel asked MS developers what would be their highest priority speedup, and the answer was 'The illegal instruction interrupt handling'. They had found that executing an illegal instruction was the fastest way to switch from user mode to privileged mode, and they wanted it to be even faster.

Microsoft Research Asia released a new paper introducing VASA, a framework for generating lifelike talking faces. Because the world needs more talking heads
Talking Heads, maybe (Qu'est-ce que c'est?), but talking heads, no.

If the talking heads talk with a bit more common sense than the original heads... that could even be an improvement

The potential of quantum computing is immense, but the distances over which entangled particles can reliably carry information remains a massive hurdle. When "it worked" is worthy of news, you might have a problem
|

|
Quote: Major first: Quantum information produced, stored, and retrieved
Quote: The distances over which this particular system could transmit quantum memories haven't been tested – it's just a proof-of-concept prototype in a basement lab, one based on photons that aren't even entangled.
Say what????
|
|
|
|
|
That "aren't even entangled" bit got me too. I'm not sure if maybe author misunderstanding about what was achieved.
That's thrown in there like it's an extra more fantastic bonus. On the whole, it would seem they are saying they can now transmit a byte to indicate the state of eight light bulbs... transmitting quantum information.
Well, lah-dee-frickin'-dah to that.
"Not entangled" seemingly undermines the whole thing entirely? What's the "achievement" then?

Over 90 percent of respondents to a new survey say that low-code tools have boosted developer productivity in their organizations. 43.5 percent of developers are saving up to 50 percent of their time when they use low-code tools on a project. When creating applications, or when you rewrite them later in a non-low-code language?
