Wow, alarmist crap from slashdot, who knew that was coming??

Why would I want smart glasses? To take pictures to be a "content creator"? Give me a break. Could some please explain to me the value proposition here? Or is this just another example of companies desperate to push technology? It seems like a miss.

Microsoft has to squeeeeeze out more revenue to make up for the AI losses. AI is losing everyone money.

Look for more of this self serving AI BS Hype as the AI products flounder and the big companies need to prop up their stock prices.

AI LLMs have no inner understanding of how code actually works. As such you have no guarantee it will do what you want.

Every PDF file is a program written in PostScript code. To extract text or an image of text, you have to parse the PostScript code.
So maybe partner with Adobe? The people who wrote the PDF standard?

That's pretty much all she knows. She dropped out of college to start her big scam. I don't think her patents will be worth much. But hey, it's good to have hobbies. In prison.

I'm not the only one who thinks LLM is crap. Gartner also doesn't think it will be profitable:

This kind of $ Billion expenditures are not sustainable and there will be a stock market correction.
Probably sooner.

This guy is a sociopath who doesn't care about the well-being of the workers. He stands to make a lot of money by forcing long working ours. Don't let him do this.

LLM is dead. Chat GPT is dead. $60B spent on this current AI has created how many viable products? None. There is no AI revolution coming, this crap is the best we will get. 2025 is the year of the AI market correction. Microsoft, Meta, Google, Apple, Tesla, etc will be punished for spending billions with no net income to show. Get your money out now.

As someone who did C for most of my CS degree I find this humorous! C is not a good choice for writing CS degrees classes, Scheme-based languages, are, however, are an excellent choice for writing CS degree classes. If a CS student has trouble making the transition from Racket to Python, they should rethink their career decisions. Seriously, it's not a big jump.

It was a brilliant strategy and it worked.

Although Bill Gates was involved in monopolistic practices, Windows had software distribution that could make software developers money. Sleezy practices helped sell Windows copies but so did a plethora of supporting software. This is also why VHS beat Betamax.

I was there. I wrote software for Windows 3.0. I had an OS/2 development system. The OS/2 coordinate system was not compatible with Windows. OS/2 was not compatible with the Windows Graphic Device Interface. We would have had to have forked the code and separately supported the OS/2 code. At that time Microsoft had an awesome evangelical program to help sell Window software. IBM did not. IBM had no established distribution method to sell OS/2 software. There was a very small market for OS/2 software. We developers looked at money selling Microsoft Windows apps, or no money selling OS/2 apps. We made our choice. And then IBM canceled OS/2.

I started with Pascal, then learned C, then Scheme, in college, for my CS degree. IMHO Scheme is an excellent programming language for a CS curriculum. If a CS student can't learn Python after learning Racket, maybe they should rethink their major.

Some have speculated that mosquito spread diseases in the northeast were accelerated when bats were decimated by the fungus-caused white nose disease. They are making a slow rebound but are no where near previous levels.
