And what's the problem with that? There are a lot of people / articles recommending it.
On the other hand...
they didn't say anything about the post-it under the keyboard... I guess I am still safe

Since IBM's Deep Blue defeated world chess champion Garry Kasparov in 1997, advances in artificial intelligence have made chess-playing computers more and more formidable. No one wants to lose to the computer, so program a second computer to lose against the computer?

Computers are excellent for masters and above, for analyzing positions. For less skilled players, they're not so useful. When they're set to play at a lower level, they fake it by occasionally blundering in ways that a human at the same level usually wouldn't. The AI described in this article should greatly improve the usefulness of computers as sparring opponents for amateurs, because it is getting good at making the types of errors that can be expected in matches against human opponents at a comparable level.

Microsoft hasn't said much about Windows 10X – and what it has spelled out so far leaves the company's plans unclear. Is 10X the next version of Windows 10? Or a dead end? Yes?
My money is more on the former though. I've seen this movie before.

Although it would be better for us if it is the second option...

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?

I thought you meant what Kent should blame it on when commenting on the article. If you'd written "If it [the coder who got pwned] were Kent", maybe my foot wouldn't be in my mouth!
EDIT: We might both be right, depending on the type of cat videos.

Nelek implies that you're a cat fancier. Is that so?
|

I suspect because I overly reuse a running gag about cat videos whenever there's a news item about YouTube. However, we have had many cats over the years (down to just the one boring one now).
She's not too fancy.
