A global survey of 1,600 enterprise IT decision-makers found more than half are working for organizations that plan to eliminate the use of data centers over the next two years. Followed by a massive migration from the cloud in a few years, repeat as necessary

Right. Tell that to hospitals or any other mission critical data management, where if the Internet goes down, suddenly all work stops. And such work might include surgery, life-saving NOW treatment, airplanes landing, etc.
Then again, those 1600 enterprise IT decision-makers probably don't work in mission critical industries. Our customers (municipalities) have conniption fits as it is, and they're just entering fees and permits.

I'd say that Thomas J Watson probably was right: I think there is a world market for about five cloud services.

I wonder where they think "the cloud" runs?

Advances in the AI realm are constantly coming out, but they tend to be limited to a single domain: for instance, a cool new method for producing synthetic speech isn’t also a way to recognize expressions on human faces. "Skynet begins to learn at a geometric rate. It becomes self-aware at 2:14 AM, Eastern time, August 29th. "
Unless that's "equally poorly"

Scientists at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have created a 3D simulation of a living minimal cell, using Nvidia GPUs to simulate 7,000 genetic information processes over 20 minutes. An actual computer virus! (OK, it's a mycoplasma)

Dear Gizmodo Editors (morons),
If you're so far detached from the current status of crypto mining that you think GPUs are still even vaguely relevant for Bitcoin mining please never write about it again.

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Error codes are one of the places where abstractions are leakiest, because errors merely propagate out from their point of origin, and the context in which the error is generated may not be anything the application developer is aware of. But it's the error you deserve

It isn't. And it doesn't matter.
