IBM's CEO still hasn't caught up on how the job market works today. Promotions are rarely vertical, they are diagonal: employees move to another company with a higher position. Rinse, repeat.

Regular internet users over age 50 were half as likely to later develop dementia as non-users, a recent study found. "Where is my mind? Way out in the water, see it swimming"

This seems like a prime case of correlation does not equal causation.

Many studies showned that any kind of mental stimulation stave off dementia.

Help what? The brain or the dementia?

Both. They help sufferers from dementia, and make everyone else demented.

My experience playing with various Chat AIs over the past few weeks is that they are both more and less impressive than you expect!
I.e., some things you expect them not to be abe to do they wow you with. But other seemingly simple things they screw up badly on.
So we ain't gonna be out of work just yet!

Does it fix the significant whitespace problem?
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.

I never considered 'features' and 'bugs' to be non-overlapping sets.

Quote: at this early stage (Mojo isn’t even released to the public yet, other than an online “playground”)
... always good to know the next big thing (bordering on miraculous) is in the pipeline 
imho, the article is a love song (hymn ?) sung by a love-smitten devotee, but, who is doing Modular/Mojo is noteworthy, the discussion valuable.

This looks in theory as if it will actually be a big thing in the AI space at least. It distinguishes itself from other "Python killers" by being (when complete) a superset of Python but with C/C++ performance.
On their YouTube channel they demo a Python matrix multiplication example and then successively "Mojo-ise" it up to a 4000x perf boost.

What was once the realm of science fiction and grifters who claim to have psychic powers takes another step towards reality as a team of researchers from the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) successfully developed a machine-learning algorithm that can decode a mouse’s brain signals and reproduce images of what it’s seeing. Great news for those who have been waiting for seeing-eye mice
