"a claim the company supports using a new metric it developed specifically to measure an AI’s conversational abilities."
So they designed a test that - by some happy chance - places their code in the 1st place. Hmm... where have we seen this before?

Yes, well, the google chatbot has profitted from the input of google groups (which also archived all the newsgroups), everything on twitter and facebook, and probably everything anyone ever fingered or said on their telephone.
i.e. it may be capable of near-human conversation, but it'll sure as sugah be cretin level.

Scientists have applied a quantum machine learning idea back to the human brain to see if it explains human decision-making. "Do you guys just put the word 'quantum' in front of everything?"

|
|
If you do that for multiple things is that Quantum Quanta?

Just wait until the world gets a load of my cloud-based quantum AI, which profits from all the latest and best buzzwords technologies!

I've got a better explanation courtesy of the radio DJs on my daily commute.
1) I believe all things happen for a reason. And a lot of the time that reason is I'm stupid and make very bad decisions.
2) What do you mean 'what was I thinking?'? Obviously I thought I was going to get away with it and not have to answer any stupid questions.
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?

The basic idea behind a primary constructor is it reduces the amount of boilerplate code needed to initialize a class. The war against the c'tor returns

I like the way they managed to screw up the "compiles as" code for the one example in that article so that it wouldn't actually compile. 
Also, where has NullArgumentException suddenly come from, and what happened to ArgumentNullException?

What if, for a moment, we forgot all the rules we know. That we ignore every good idea, and accept all the terrible ones. That nothing is off limits. Can we turn C into a new language? Can we do what Lisp and Forth let the over-eager programmer do, but in C? Using #define for evil

If he wants an API for C, he should just write one.
Oh.
That's what he's doing.

Sounds like government, not programming language development.
Besides, what does "good idea" actually mean, and by whose measure?

Apple, Broadcom owe CalTech $1.1 billion over Wi-Fi patents lawsuit Wi-Fi? Seems more like Hold-Up to me.
|
|
|
|

A $1.1bn settlement because they used calTech's ideas in chips?
Sounds appropriate, given that's probably apple's annual budget for hang-out-room potato chips.
I keep wondering how much apple, ms, et al would have had to pay Xerox.
And how much better the world would be if apple, ms, et al were more like Xerox.

You mean they should have copied Xerox's ethos as well as their ideas.
It's ironic isn't that so much was copied from a company that made their name making copiers.

Windows 10X is launching this year on a new wave of foldable PCs. Here's what we know so far. The 'X' stands for eXtra-limited
Oh, dynamic wallpaper! I take back the limited snark. (oy)

Essentially, they've brought back the baby blocks, and, instead of trying to emulate the ios interface, they're trying to imitate the android one.
As anyone who watches the best show on TV knows, 10X is a deep, deep hole in the ground with absolutely nothing of value at the bottom.

So a Win8 tablet, but with a hinge in the middle. I predict this will work just as well as it did 7.5 years ago.

But did Microsoft successfully deliver the features fans wanted ? Closed: works as designed
"The first feature is emoji, kaomoji and symbols, which Windows Insiders from around the world wanted easier ways to type. "
That's definitely the most important feature I was looking for in Windows as well. (good grief)

Lemme guess: 93% of people in the insider program joined because of ads on twitter and fb.
They should be talking to businesses, not people who use computers as extensions of their phones.

Or at least "hear" the ones (business / professionals) that did join and tried to help them with real interesting / needed / important reports
