I thought I read microsoft profit was $68B last quarter
Losing desktops? Probably justifiable from management pov.
They don't care. They are making money selling Linux time on Azure. Windows is dead to them.
You are trying to support the conspiracy theory of "Windows is turning into a subscription product!", in the same way Republicans keep telling people that Democrats are going to take their guns away, and that hasn't happened over the past 40 years.
Well Microsoft Office turned into a subscription product and that is kinda the same thing.
No they didn't.
Google's surface codes are not sufficient to sustain computation with any real world error rate.
The IBM Bicycle code improves the bounds a little, but still requires physical error rates that are not achievable.
Read the papers. They describe the strength of their codes. From there you can deduce the headlines are lying.
What does the current US president have to do with the UK postal scandal?
Was he a post master in Llanelli? I don't remember that from his many rantings.
Billinos tastes great and at $3 per billino, it's both affordable and nutritious.
I don't think it will be updated anymore. It will probably go the way of Fat binaries or the Mac 68k emulator on PowerPC Macs.
You mean I won't be able to run my 68K mac programs any more?!
I have one of the last Intel mac models. It's served a good life.
An ARM based replacement will be no use since it doesn't have the specific CPU instructions I need and use. A windows laptop is no replacement because programming on windows is a shit show - MS C doesn't even have getopt. My windows builds for my command line tools have to use a replacement getopt library (ya_getopt) because visual studio doesn't doesn't have this library that is in the K&R C book FFS.
I'm on a Linux based Framework 16 now. I can code and browse and bash behaves like bash.
When a physicist at a university turns their diagnostic tools to mundane every day things, rather than say quantum particle collisions, the difficulty of doing the experiment is usually going to be much easier. However it can have good consequences for the rest of us.
For example an Italian guy decided to take a look at how filter paper under an espresso puck affects the espresso. Here . This showed that the puck improves extraction and reduces channeling. It's a simple thing to do and it has helped me with making good espresso in the morning.
So I'm happy that this sort of research gets done.
The reason why is pretty obvious, but I didn't get a grant to buy all the high speed cameras. I just have a kitchen at home.
It's pretty obvious that P doesn't equal NP, but can you prove it?
You could have just listened to any one who cooks alot and actually invests & maintains good knives vs blowing $$ on this dumb ass study. I never had tear issues cutting onions
I didn't have to. I have good knives. I sharpen them. I cut onions. Knowing something to be true is different to knowing why something is true.
This is well known information and any professional chef could have told you this.
But could they explain why and show evidence supporting their hypothesis?
I do not believe for a second that 20-30% of deployed code at MS has been written by LLMs.
I spoke with a friend working at Microsoft. He doesn't believe the 20-30% number either.
If I were a teacher - I'd simply make the final exam worth enough points to drop the grade by at least a full letter if failed and force that exam to be pencil/paper only.
I did school in the UK and exactly 100% of my grades depended on only the final exams.
It seems pretty cruel to expect students to perform great all year, every year in order to get optimal grades.
But when I do, I mostly be buying Framework laptops because I don't then have to put up with that sort of crap.
There's one surface laptop in my household. The screen is cracked and It's built of unmaintainium. Never again.
They're all hidden in Leeds.
If I lead you to Leeds to fine ledes, I bet you still wouldn't find any.
