This release updates Windows Terminal to version 1.17 and includes all of the features from this previous blog post. Additionally, Windows Terminal Preview is getting an update to version 1.18 and will include all the features detailed here, so let’s talk all about them! Oh my, very nice: Tab Tearout (drag drop tabs outside of window).

The Massively Multilingual Speech (MMS) project expands speech technology from about 100 languages to over 1,000 by building a single multilingual speech recognition model supporting over 1,100 languages (more than 10 times as many as before), language identification models able to identify over 4,000 languages (40 times more than before), pretrained models supporting over 1,400 languages, and text-to-speech models for over 1,100 languages. Great, now the Terminators will be barking orders at each other in languages I can't understand.

In March and April 2023, the Python Software Foundation (PSF) received three (3) subpoenas for PyPI user data. All three subpoenas were issued by the United States Department of Justice. The PSF was not provided with context on the legal circumstances surrounding these subpoenas. In total, user data related to five (5) PyPI usernames were requested. I'm guessing some poor typosquatter managed to hit a government agency and is about to get alphabet soup all over him.

Well... the question is, what is the real reason for it?
At least I think the making it public and saying what they gave and where there is no data is a nice move by PSF.

I think Sean's guess in the initial post is probably right except for the bad actors probably being in a country that won't extradite them to the US.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

A sapphire crystal weighing 16 micrograms is the largest object ever to exist in a quantum-mechanical superposition of two vibrational states. Researchers at the Hybrid Quantum Systems Group at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich (ETH Zurich) excited the crystal into vibrations such that its atoms oscillated back and forth simultaneously and in two opposite directions—putting the entire crystal in what is known as a state of quantum superposition. I feel both smarter, and dumber having just read the referenced material

I’ve been creating ChatGPT plugins and started thinking - wouldn’t it be fun to connect this to a Raspberry Pi and control some hardware? Turns out, it’s very easy to do. From the beginning I was ridiculing AGI dommsdayers, but just one month later I am waitng for an article about "Isn't it a great idea to connect LLM to NORAD system?"

All modern Intel and AMD PCs can trace their roots to a single system: the IBM Personal Computer. Originally released in August 1981, this computer became so popular and long-lived that competitors reverse-engineered its BIOS so that their computers could use the same software and peripherals, a practice that eventually resulted in a de facto standard whose descendants we still use today. Because I'm nostalgic for the days when I would spend hours trying to figure out why the comptuer wouldn't start only to discover the battery powering the clock was dead. Y'see, without that clock, the computer wouldn't boot.

No but I was thinking it would only run those prank programs of the late 80's and early 90's. You know the ones that would make it look like your screen was melting and the like.

I previously wrote about starting a Go project in 2018. A lot has changed since I wrote that and I had been wanting to write an updated version. What follows should be enough for anyone new to Go to get started and ideally start them being productive. How to start a new Go project: go mod init mymodule

PyPI, the official third-party registry of open source Python packages has temporarily suspended new users from signing up, and new projects from being uploaded to the platform until further notice. Temporary suspension has been lifted, but add this to the pile of known PyPI abuse.

With the release of Bing Chat and its partnership with OpenAI, Microsoft has managed to place itself at the forefront of artificial intelligence (AI) and is outperforming tech rivals such as Google. As a result, most of the announcements made at the Microsoft Build 2023 developer conference relate to AI. And just to mix it up a little ... here's some more AI news.

I can only say...
Windows 3.11, Windows NT, Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows 2000, Windows ME, Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8.x, Windows 10, Windows 11...
If Microsoft continues their "one Good, one Crappy" version serie... then the next one should be kind of usable again
