Allen Foundation's Semantic Scholar: MIT Tech Review overview here: [^] Quote: ... Semantic Scholar, an AI-powered scientific paper search engine. It provides a one-sentence tl;dr (too long; didn’t read) summary under every computer science paper.
How they did it: The researchers first trained a neural network on a generic corpus of text to establish its baseline familiarity with the English language. This process is known as “pre-training” and is part of what makes transformers so powerful. They then fine-tuned the model—in other words, trained it further—on the specific task of summarization.
Squeezed: While many other research efforts have tackled the task of summarization, this one stands out for the level of compression it can achieve. The scientific papers included in the SciTldr dataset average 5,000 words. Their one-sentence summaries average 21. This means each paper is compressed on average to 238 times its size[1]. [1] okay, it doesn't do division yet.

Every Monday this reporter uses Microsoft Teams to catch up with my editorial team, whom I can now wow with new apps created entirely within the collaboration software that is increasingly becoming a low-code dev tool. Maybe I can replace my daily Teams scrum meeting with a chatbot

51% of hiring managers plan to engage independent talent this year to fill in key gaps and here are the most valuable skills to have to be contracted quickly. Apparently no one does desktop development anymore
At least according to Upwork.
Mental note: don't bother trying to find work on Upwork.

So they souped up the basic concept of a GPU?

Pretty much - from my limited understanding, it just sounds like they left everything on one (really really big) core, and save all the memory transfer times.

Quote: But asked whether they'd made the right decisions in 2020, a hearty 98% said why, yes, actually they had.
Rare is the human being that will admit they made a wrong decision.
I think it's April 1st, but the temps outside seem to contradict that. But I'm still right.

And I'm sure most Linux users will trust Microsoft to protect them

We’ve seen a lot of excitement in the past few months over our latest features which automate and reduce editing tasks to a single click and help save you time. In this post, I’ll cover some of the latest .NET productivity features available in Visual Studio 2019. "Every day, in every way, I'm getting better and better"
Eye twitch included.

yes, but not with .NET as far as I'm concerned,
So let's see.
Code Analysis: never use it
Inline parameter hints: Well IntelliJ already does this, and when I have to look at one of my coworker's screens, I get all confused. Thankfully it's an option that is off by default!
Extract base refactoring: what are classes? Seriously, the number of times I have to actually use abstraction is very small. Interfaces, yes, but this whole OOP thing is overrated.
Code fixes and refactorings: When I've look at what VS suggests, it's usually wrong or reduces readability. Go away. (That got refactored through a "suggestion", haha.)
Use pattern matching: Really? if (!o is bool b) ??? If I write something like that, I need to refactor my choice of careers.
Make class abstract: Oh, this is SO EXCITING! Like I can't just type the word "abstract" in front of "class"???
Typeof to nameof. Right. The only time I use Typeof is on a generic or a record of actually not known type at build time.
Visual Basic - nope, stopped reading.
Remove redundant equality: Snazzy. Except I don't write redundant equality. Except I don't write redundant equality.
Sorry Mika.
