As an artificial intelligence researcher, my work is part of a broad effort to give computers a semblance of common sense. It’s an extremely challenging effort. Because it's hard enough to find people with it?

I maintain that the biggest difficulty with AI research is that we still don't have a good grasp of how the human brain works.
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

Quote: Imagine you’re having friends over for lunch and plan to order a pepperoni pizza. You recall Amy mentioning that Susie had stopped eating meat. You try calling Susie, but when she doesn’t pick up, you decide to play it safe and just order a margherita pizza instead.
Order two pizzas one vegetarian one not, because 1 pizza is scanty for 3+ people (friends is plural) anyway unless you order the hugest size or you and your friends are weirdos who only eat a single slice. And it's not like left over pizza is a bad thing. Or just wait until everyone arrives and you can decide what flavor(s) to order in person.

The world-record calculation by Swiss scientists now marks the last 10 digits of pi as being 7817924264. 3.14 ought to be enough for everybody
OK, fine. 22/7.

There're validation tests you can do to see if you're right much easier than running the whole calculation a second time. Ian Cutress (Anandtech) has been ranting on Twitter because while the people involved claim to've done the verification they haven't published it yet.

Don’t worry, I don’t cover all of them here, but grab a large mug of your favorite hot beverage, and settle in: this post takes a rip-roarin’ tour through ~400 PRs that, all together, significantly improve .NET performance for .NET 6. Assuming that kind of thing is useful to you

Same here. The lack of any SSRS support in .NET Core / 5 / 6 / etc. means we can't upgrade.
There used to be a UserVoice suggestion that Microsoft should provide .NET Core SSRS support. It had been "under review" since 2018, and was one of the top-voted suggestions on the site. But now it seems Microsoft have sent all UserVoice feedback into the same hole as the feedback from their old "Connect" site.
