Want to ditch Windows? This Linux distro makes that transition easy

zdnet.com Jack Wallen 2026-03-17 13:56:00

Jack Wallen / Elyse Betters Picaro / ZDNET Over the past year, several Windows-like Linux distributions have been given the spotlight. A couple of those distributions were nothing more than malware in disguise, which has made me a bit squirrely about trying others, but to let a couple of bad apples spoil the entire bushel isn't fair, in my opinion. So when I came across yet another, I decided to give it a try. That distribution is AnduinOS, which is a custom Ubuntu-based Linux distribution to

Note that Keith could have got his answer minutes sooner, and needn't have kept Tim waiting. In fact, Tim could have started thinking about the question right away! People who do this are generally trying to be polite by not jumping right into the request, like one would in person or on the phone - and that's great! But it's 2022 and chat is neither of those things. For most people, typing is much slower than talking. So despite best intentions, you're actually just making the other person wait

What I talk about when I talk about IRs

I have a lot of thoughts about the design of compiler intermediate representations (IRs). In this post I’m going to try and communicate some of those ideas and why I think they are important. The overarching idea is being able to make decisions with only local information. That comes in a couple of different flavors.

ChatGPT Has Already Polluted the Internet So Badly That It's Hobbling Future AI Development

The rapid rise of ChatGPT — and the cavalcade of competitors' generative models that followed suit — has polluted the internet with so much useless slop that it's already kneecapping the development of future AI models. As the AI-generated data clouds the human creations that these models are so heavily dependent on amalgamating, it becomes inevitable that a greater share of what these so-called intelligences learn from and imitate is itself an ersatz AI creation.
