I honestly thought there was a Core 2. My initial blurb was going to be something about finished the trilogy finally. I wonder what bad movie I thought was the sequel?

NASA needed a supercomputer to get us to the Moon, and it had to be generations ahead of the state of the art at the time. 73kB ought to be enough for everyone?
Well, you may have heard about it, but odds are you have never wrote code in anger for it.

Google has long offered syncing between Google Photos and Google Drive, but it’s putting an end to that in the name of simplicity. Even more simple? Keep them on your own hard drive
|
|
|
|
|
The real reason?
Because server space is expensive, and they realised that 99.999% of the photos were of no use for either advertising or training AIs,

I found it so annoying, I turned synchronization off long ago.

It really is confusing. I recently upgraded my phone and it asked me about my photos and syncing and free cloud space and I was like, "aren't you talking about my Google Drive account that I've been using for 5 years?" I was confused. With the photo thing I'm not sure where my photos are going? It's not Drive so where is it?? Really confusing.

Depends.
If you allow Google to resize your photos you're allowed to store as many as you want. But if you want them to keep the original file it will end up in your drive.
Well, not visibly so, but it will use up your quota.

Yeah, really confusing. Thanks for letting me know about that.

How often do we consider the true cost of the code we’re creating? Not just the price tag, but the cost to maintain, to society, and to our environment. "About tree fiddy"

If it's adobe or oracle code, about three million per hundred years.

The experiment was meant to prove how easy it is to hire digital henchmen. You mean I could be making $250 every time I post fake news?

Yes, because drumming up support for Stalin-types is the absolute antithesis of doing evil.

Microsoft tried to patch the bug but fails to meet Google's 90-day deadline because of an issue it found in testing. Because it's easier to fling rocks than build a nice, glass house

This is a really interesting innovative product and the article announcing it is actually really good too.
Announcing LTE Beacon for asset tracking | Reality matters[^]
And programmable via JavaScript...of course.
from article: Smartphone without a screen
The best way to think of this new IoT device is to imagine it as a small smartphone, but without a screen. It can last years between charges and the cost is similar to a beacon. It has cellular LTE connectivity, built-in GPS, and Bluetooth radio. And it is also possible to create and download apps that run on the LTE beacon
From the article: We are shipping LTE Beacons as Developer Kits. Each box will include two devices and the total cost will be $129 + shipping. We can ship anywhere in the world.
Since the LTE Beacons have active data plans and talk to the LTE networks of our telecommunication partners as well as use our cloud services, there will be an additional subscription fee. For the beacons in the dev kit, it will be $2 per device per month, and the first 3 months are free. The devices can be still used and programmed without an active subscription, but the cloud connectivity won’t be possible.

Quote: Their algorithm, Photo Wake-Up, can take a person from a 2-D photo or a work of art and make them run, walk or jump out of the frame. The system also allows users to view the animation in three dimensions using augmented reality tools. The researchers will be presenting their results June 19 at the Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition in Long Beach, California. This research first attracted media attention when it was posted in preprint form in December on ArXiv. [^]
