It was an embedded system. The user wouldn't be able to download and install stuff, they just turn the thing on.

As someone who likes to actually own and customise all my devices, devs like you are the bane of my existence. Read up on software licensing, and pay special attention to the history of its enforcement and what it enabled us. Then please reconsider your user hostile stance.

I tried the link preview feature as well, and to say the response to it is overblown is putting it mildly. I haven't looked at the source code, but based on how it appears to work I'm not sure it even qualifies as AI. It basically selects 2-3 sentences from the reading mode version of an article, but the selection is so bad it might as well be random. Not surprising as it's a tiny model that runs locally and is only given a second to make the selection.

I actually laughed when I saw it - this is what all the weeks of fuss were about?

I've played this game for over a month now, maybe two, and I haven't encountered a single instance of that happening. The next answer is always deducible by logic. I have gotten stuck plenty of times, and a few times I even thought the game was totally and definitely wrong, only for me to realise that I missed something.

If you continue playing, you should know that the games get harder as the week goes on. The weekend ones tend to sometimes take me 15-20 minutes to work out.

What's actually infuriating are those bar charts.

I googled this story to, uh, fact check it, and found this article saying that her move to OF is fake news. Except, upon closer examination, it seems the article is AI slop and completely made up. How ironic.

IBM argued that its patent, initially used to launch Prodigy, remains "fundamental to the efficient communication of Internet content." Known as patent '849, that patent introduced "novel methods for presenting applications and advertisements in an interactive service that would take advantage of the computing power of each user’s personal computer (PC) and thereby reduce demand on host servers, such as those used by Prodigy," which made it "more efficient than conventional systems."

According to IBM's complaint, "By harnessing the processing and storage capabilities of the user’s PC, applications could then be composed on the fly from objects stored locally on the PC, reducing reliance on Prodigy’s server and network resources."

The jury found that Zynga infringed that patent, as well as a '719 patent designed to "improve the performance" of Internet apps by "reducing network communication delays." That patent describes technology that improves an app's performance by "reducing the number of required interactions between client and server," IBM's complaint said, and also makes it easier to develop and update apps.

All I can say is yikes.

With 30% ownership it could have been at the forefront of generative AI, which OpenAI released to the world in 2022.

Do they think openai invented the concept of generative ai, because that's what their statement implies?

If this was done by multiple people, I'm sure the person that designed this delivery mechanism is really annoyed with the person that made the sloppy payload, since that made it all get detected right away.

Because Bedrock runs on phones, tablets, consoles, and a host of other random crap

And it also removes Linux support. Typical Microsoft.

Then they'll just identify you by the sound of the printer being audible from down the street.

It's an American obsession.

Seems it's exploiting vulnerabilities in some software called "Ivanti Connect Secure VPN", so unless you're running that, you're safe I guess. Says in the past they used vulnerabilities in "Qlik Sense" and Adobe "Magento". Never heard of any of those, but I guess maybe some businesses use them?
