So by that definition you would only want one web browser as there are currently multiple HTML+CSS+JavaScript "front ends". In which case, you end up with a Chrome monopoly where Google gets to decide what the web looks like!

It all depends on 1) how far away from the off-the-shelf framework you are going (or want to go); and 2) how many of your projects you are using it for. Ideally, you would want to create a plugin/extension to the framework to do your c

Preventing China for using these chips for AI. So they cannot be used for things like LLMs, or possibly in espionage such as generating fake images, video, and audio.

Although you can take GCSEs at any age, they are typically taken when you are 16. After that, you have a number of options: 1. continue to A/AS-level taking 1 to 2 years, and then optionally onto collage or university; 2. do apprentish

Metaphors are one of the things that make language interesting, vibrant, and expressive. You can convey so much with them. Prohibiting their use (even in specific contexts like this) is/will be a huge loss.

XHTML may not be mainstream with people authoring web pages, but it is a thing within publishing pipelines that generate XHTML from other XML-based sources like JATS or DocBook. It's also a thing at least in ePub 1 and 2 content (I can

The term thieved is too strong here. Languages borrow words all the time, like how various English words have made it into other languages. Many of the French words came about due to England being invaded by he Norman French. A lot of food

It will depend on what templating framework the websites are using. Server-side rendering frameworks can allow users to write semantic components -- e.g. `<menu-button>` -- that get expanded to HTML markup, which will often be realize

Often this comes down to how well and descriptive the training data is labelled. If you just label a picture as "man" or "woman" you are not going to get good results compared to something like "face of a caucasian

You need to have someone, or a group of people, willing to write the code to implement a replacement that is fully compatible, and maintain it. Until then, curl written in C is what we have. With that, curl can be used on the exotic archite

With AlphaZero there are clear evaliation metrics -- you win, lose, or draw the game given specific rules. With chess, there is even a way of detecting end-game threats via check. The zero human data approach works here because of that, all

Our brains filter out repetitive events, so if every day follows the same routine you are going to remember less of those than if something happened on those days -- like going on holiday, or the start of the pandemic. When you look back, y

For ML/neural networks, the vector/matrix/tensor acceleration is still valuable. Thus, running them on GPUs or specialist hardware will make them faster to complete -- such as generating images from stable diffusion. GPUs are

LLMs are useful for things like predicting/generating text, and summarizing text. They are not useful if you want to do other NLP tasks that include things like: 1. Identifying (and highlighting/extracting) the language that spans

Language shifts, so NLP models need to understand those. For example, compare the use of "gay" before ~1980 and after. Some words change in spelling, like "to-morrow" present in works around 1800 changing to "tomorr

I wonder how this affects things like the Oxford English Dictionary, wiktionary, and other corpus-based linguistics, which rely on sample sentences of the word usage in order to determine the context. Because language is an evolving thing,

I'm using the Yubico Authenticator with a Yubikey on Windows, so you don't even need phone-based authentication. Yes, you do need a yubikey for these to work, but I prefer that to handing out my phone number to these 2FA services.

But the other extreme of saying no AI ever is also untenable. If SAG-AFTRA get that demand, it then means productions like Rogue One (AI Leia and Moff Tarkin), The Mandalorian (AI Luke), and de-aged Professor Xavier and Magnito in the X-Men

So what will happen is that the games using SAG-AFTRA voice actors will be delayed/dropped from production, while the games using non-US union voice actors or not needing voices will be produced. Therefore, the SAG-AFTRA games and the

Taking this from a different perspective, let's say that ChatGPT, CodePilot, or similar service gets trained on Windows source code. Then a WINE developer uses ChatGPT or CodePilot to implement one of the methods. Is WINE then liable f

It depends on what language you are using and what things you are testing. If you use a language like Python, having tests that pass things that aren't the type you are expecting are useful. Likewise passing nulls to a nullable paramet
