Get an answer like this, state of the art AI answer:
What is the best machine learning operating system? The Linux operating system is one of the most widely used in machine learning. The reason that Ubuntu is so unique is because it incorporates AI, ML, and DL, which are features that are superior to those of other operating systems. It is built with the help of sophisticated artificial intelligence techniques. Linux systems are better at learning machine languages than Ubuntu distributions, in addition to being better at package management. Ubuntu runs in the background on all deep learning frameworks, including TensorFlow, OpenCV, and PyTorch. When it comes to making changes, Ubuntu is by far the best platform for making them.
We have a task group who are tasked with investigating AI and finding out whether there is a role where AI can give value to the business. They have been working on it for 3 months and have not come up with anything.
What you can do is find a little minor classification task and use a linear regression (an idea developed in the early 1800s) to do this little job whilst adding to the sample set. You can then show the boss AI in action and your boss will be delighted and your marketing department can brag about it.
I don’t see any possibility of a useful FM antenna inside a smartphone, unless the broadcast signal transmitter is very close. A quarter wave to cover down to 98MHz should vary in length up to about 75cm. Those earphone cable antennae suffered badly from the wearer moving around.
Put a little popper antenna coax cable connector on the outside of the case and then we are in business.
I don't see how ChatGPT can write SQL for business cases because SQL absolutely depends on understanding the schema and the data within, and ChatGPT cannot be trained on business data because that would be a massive disclosure.
It could give tips and examples, but a human can't write SQL without getting their head round the underlying data first after being given trusted access to it, so a machine can't.
People are often very emotionally attached to the language the know best and are comfortable working with. It's quite natural if you've invested a lot of yourself getting up to a level of competence then staying in your comfort zone is an attractive option. So people get a bit spiky around these discussions. The criticism of RUST for example, I am sure has some component of people from a C background concerned about the employment landscape, and not inclined to go through the effort of learning all over again.
One programmer is happy with PHP another sees it as hell on earth etc. Personally, I'll work with anything that is fits the job in hand, but then I've never achieved anything virtuoso level with any programming language. I can achieve what I want. but it probably takes me five times as long as a pro would need to do the same thing.
I love a bit of C, because I enjoy the concept of working directly with memory and not leaving it to abstracted code. Sort of reminds me of the days when it was assembler or nothing.
Hauser insults the majority of the voters in this country in a referendum.
I’d like to hear what the majority of voters in this country in a referendum actually want. Currently there are a lot of Brexit supporters that amount to a swing factor, but I very much doubt it is the will of the majority. But this swing minority is enough to keep the politicians from talking about moving back toward the EU, despite the obvious negative consequences.
Those who would seek to deny the voters any more say are the ones doing the insulting, effectively denying further democracy because they have the position they want. Like the country voted for conservatives in the 2019 election and the conservative supporters saying, that’s it now, no more democracy.
Bookmakers and polls before the vote had remain ahead and this had the effect of motivating the leave vote, whilst many remainers were complacent believing they didn’t need to influence the outcome.
Scotland voted for remain, so did London, by an even greater majority than Scotland. Leave demographic was heavily weighted to those of poor educational achievement, and old folk who would not have to spend decades living with the mess. They didn’t give a shit what their own children and grandchildren wanted. Made a decision based on emotion and screw you kids, you can deal with it.
All in all, a lesson in how not to do democracy.
They have all demonstrated this skill. The only difference is that only one of them has been in a position where their actions are of consequence.
Only today, after many months of talking about Uni tuition fees and implying that they will be reduced or removed if Labour win a GE, as the prospect of delivering approaches, the latest word is, well.. um, err, well that would be a bit expensive so umm, maybe not…got your attention though!!!!
Talk is cheap in opposition, expensive in government. These are politicians and while they may wear different colours, they are the same maggot underneath.
Hoover is a brand name owned by Chinese white goods company Haier in Europe and Hong Kong company Techtronic for the US market.
But in UK “hoover” is just a generic term for any vacuum cleaner. Other things have achieved this generic status like Biro, Stove, coke etc
Coke carbonated drink, not degassed coal.
Virgin Orbit was never a UK space system. It’s a US one that attempted a silly stunt launching from a UK runway. They had plans to use a runway in Brazil and another in Australia.
It previously used the same system to successfully launch small satellites for US Space Force.
So you have the current lead in the bollocks spouting race.
Then NASA said, "hey, you know we said we'd launch stuff for you for free? Now you've cancelled Black Arrow we're not going to do that."
Though this is claimed by Charles Hill in his book, it is only a bit of hearsay and there is no evidence of any such offer from USA, other than their earlier assistance with Ariel (which was a US satellite launched for the UK). The UK intended to use the US SCOUT rockets to launch small payloads, which would have been short term cheaper than continued development of Black Arrow, but never was going to be free.
But yes, people with no vision making poor decisions. Meanwhile ELDO became something significant.
First and last British satellite launch system.
There have been many British rockets, both before and after 1971. For example, Skylark launched literally hundreds of times, some reaching over 550km altitude.
Blue Streak launched a few times as an ICBM, technology that went into creating the early forerunners of Arianne.
Also Black Knight.
I don’t hate it either, I am an OS agnostic and I actively use Linux, Windows and Mac daily.
There are genuine flaws with Linux, windows and Mac but here is little objectivity about this here.
Many of the things people on here whine about Windows on here are simply not true, or I don’t suffer the same problems. Some problems I can see with Linux are vehemently denied by Linux zealots.
I use Windows for Visual Studio (not Code). It’s pretty damn good. There are other IDEs, I’ve tried many, but VS is a hard act to follow.
Adverts, shrug. I’ll find a way to avoid,
But having said all that, my 97 year old grandmother was having such trouble with Windows, she was ready to quit her laptop altogether, she could barely work out how to open a website or reply to an email.
So I wiped off windows and installed Linux mint. 2 weeks later she got a new developing implementing Vulkan api for GPU makers. True story….. Jackanory.
No political party of any substance is standing with restoring manufacturing of essential products as a proposed policy.
So it probably isn’t a voter priority. Don’t know how it is possible to change that.
Maybe people know more about it than we do and it isn’t that important.
Dunno. It’s a mystery to me.
Two comments that illustrate the massive improvement in education since then.
My own two are fortunate that they went to a modern school that suffered nowhere near the levels of disruption, violence and abuse that happened in my time and before.
Thank goodness they have technology now to boost the learning. There was nothing good about poorly equipped dumps of yesteryear with their bullying maggot teachers.
Infinitely preferable until they’ve been in power a few years. UK desperately needs a credible opposition. Instead we’ve got the Labour Party.
Meet the new boss. Same as the old boss. Don’t get fooled again.
Long term indeed. This mission proposal goes back to before 2010, it got the nod in 2012 and 11 years later it has launched. Another 11+ years to start its primary mission science and the analysis of data will continue for years after. Some people involved in this mission are retired already, many people who will be involved in the goal science haven’t started University yet.
Politicians should learn from science.
