Obviously, pigeon brains have limitations that computers don’t. But their method of solving challenging problems isn’t all that different from the technique used by some AI systems to pull off superhuman accomplishments. Both of them will create a mess given half a chance?

I propose "pigeonpower" as the unit for measuring the power of AI systems. This would be similar to rating the difficulty of problems in bananas.

Dual Israeli/UK citizenship, actually.

All we need to do is change the meter/metre's name to "French yard", pronounce it with a fake French accent, and the snobs in the US will start using it for everything. Ditto for the Kilogram (French pound), and the Ampere (already French).

Should we consider a mankini for your next birthday?

The Visual Studio Code (VS Code) team has released its January update with a huge number of new features, including general availability of the long-awaited Profiles feature and progress towards signed extensions in the extension marketplace. Is it the same size as regular VS yet?

Since VS has the free community version, why isn't Microsoft bringing all this into VS?

Explaining what MSDT and the legacy Windows troubleshooters do, the Redmond giant has provided a timeline for the retirement phase out process, which starts this year and lasts till 2025. They're retiring the troubleshooters. How will I ever not figure out what the problem is now?

Yeah, and replacing them with the troublemakers

What happened. Did someone finally look at all the telemetry they added in new versions of windows and discover that those troubleshooters solved a grand total of 0 problems in the data collected?
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?

That was my thought as well. I can't remember the last time one of these "troubleshooters" actually solved a problem for me.

I don't know why or how but it did work twice for me without needing to input anything. I don't even remember which peripheral it was but after a single run of troubleshooting it started working.
I blame gremlins.

According to its creators, it reads like Ruby and runs like C — or faster If it comes with reports, RUN!
Fortunately, it's been long enough that I can't remember the problem with them.

We were all required to create a language to pass the exam of Formal Languages and Compilers, someone actually believes that is the real world.

The social media and metaverse company is undergoing a process that is being referred to internally as the “flattening,” in which managers will be asked to do things besides endlessly go to meetings. The conull set?

If the next headline isn't "Meta fires all but three middle managers" they aren't serious.
