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.

I meant what Kent would have said that those eyes (all linux fans) were staring to not find the bug.
It was a sarcasm about the news and about the typical argument that linux is much more secure because everyone can look into the source code. Additionally adding the recurrent gag of cat videos when there is a post about youtube here as a joke 
I suppose I mixed too much at once.
EDIT: To be honest... my first impulse was to write pr0n too

The main advantage of Linux and Opens Source is that everyone can fork the code, and boy if they do. Many projects are pretty forked up.

The famous Fred Brooks paper “No Silver Bullet – Essence and Accident in Software Engineering“ published in 1987 stated that: “there is no single development, in either technology or management technique, which by itself promises even one order of magnitude [tenfold] improvement within a decade in productivity, in reliability, in simplicity.” If you can't use natural intelligence?
Notice how I (until now) avoided bringing up Betteridge's law of headlines?

Quote from the article on the advantages of AI assisted coding...
"Imagine stackoverflow.com inviting itself in your code editor: Are you trying to make a function that does X? If yes here is an OSS implementation well ranked by the community ..."

A Gartner report predicts that the second-order consequences of widespread AI will have massive societal impacts, to the point of making us unsure if and when we can trust our own eyes. "Looking at the world through rose colored glasses, everything is rosy now."

We don't need to wait for AI for that... Look at the world today and you can already find a big % of the population that see and hear what they want, and don't believe anything you can show them.
