Does it? It says “We won’t use this data to train new Claude models”. Couldn’t the wording “new Claude models” allow them to use it on their existing ones? It’s vague enough to me, at least.

USGS suggests that this was a main earthquake of a series. I guess there was one mid march

https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/map/?currentFeatureI...

    This event is identified as the potential mainshock of an earthquake sequence.

I've been watching USGS since I felt it. It was originally 4.8, then it was 4.7 for a little bit, and they brought it back up to 4.8.

> When was the last time you used Bard?

So far, every time I use bard it gives me an incorrect answer. But I am happy with how fast it returns it, at least. I haven't had that problem with Bing chat (at least in the past few months), which has pretty much changed the way I search.

That being said, I hope Bard improves drastically. It would be nice to have more competition from them in this space.

I attended a seminar on the office binary file formats about 10 years ago at MS. The reason it was done was for performance reasons, including the wonky layout that made it quicker to save and read the file from slow media like floppy discs.

That's an excellent point I wouldn't have considered. I have no intention of looking at the dump anyway, but thanks for the warning.

> If you find password protected zips in the release the password is probably either "Intel123" or "intel123". This was not set by me or my source, this is how it was aquired from Intel.

Can't say I'm surprised, people are lazy.

Another large tech company I used to work for commonly used an only-slightly more complex password. But it was never changed, so people who had left the team still could have access to things if they knew the password. It was an entry point into the system more than the company's Red team.

For consumers, I'm not sure. But I know as part of cutting costs, Azure decided to start running servers on ARM instead of x64: https://www.techrepublic.com/article/windows-server-on-arm-m...

I agree! I particularly liked the one using a two-way plastic mirror and webcam, so that you can maintain eye contact when you're video calling someone. Similar principal to a teleprompter.

The git dev responsible for the choice has said it had nothing to do with master/slave:

> "master" as in e.g. "master recording". Perhaps you could say the original, but viewed from the production process perspective.

> A clueless Central European youngster whose command of English was mostly illusory came up with the term, which is why it isn't very obvious...

I always thought it meant "master copy"...

Yeah, I didn't understand and jumped straight to the comments to see if there was an easy explanation here. Guess I should have clicked "How?" at the top.

Cool! This reminds me a lot of this[0] where there was a specification for a custom VM in a newspaper along with a binary. It still blows me away when I read how they solved the puzzle.

There is the Windows Hypervisor Platform[1] component recently added in windows, that at least allows other VMs to share the hypervisor using a common API. IIRC, VirtualBox 6 supports it.

To me, it seems like the use of Hyper-V was probably necessary to get the tight integration they needed to make the use of WSL 2 as seamless as it is today with the lightweight containers.

Microsoft has plans on moving some of its Azure services to run on ARM, among other things for Windows Server on ARM.[0]

> "We feel ARM servers represent a real opportunity and some Microsoft cloud services already have future deployment plans on ARM servers," he wrote ahead of the conference.

> "We have been running evaluations side by side with our production workloads and what we see is quite compelling.

> "The high Instruction Per Cycle (IPC) counts, high core and thread counts, the connectivity options and the integration that we see across the ARM ecosystem are very exciting and continues to improve."

It seems to, yes. [0] It also looks like you can filter on date, team and channel, attachments, who it's from, messages where you're mentioned.

From what I can tell, it's written in Electron. I assume they did this so that they could share the code base between desktop (win/mac), ios/android/winphone, and web -- keeping the features sets the same on all platforms. VS Code is the same way and that works beautifully on Mac. I expect that same for this.

Disclaimer: I work for Microsoft (Azure) but have no relation to Office or Microsoft Teams.

The readme on their github[1] says that Live Writer was originally part of an acquisition. I would guess that winforms may have already been in use when they acquired Onfolio. There may be other reasons as well, but I don't know what they are :)

You can find a lot of old game/pc/dev magazines on archive.org, downloadable in many formats (including epub and PDF).

They have some PC Mag issues out there. Here is one from Jan 29, 1991: https://archive.org/details/bub_gb_X_tru4xwJ_sC
