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

zdnet.com Jack Wallen 2026-03-14 05:56:00

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

DARPA program sets distance record for power beaming

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2026-03-16 06:40:40

In a series of recent tests in New Mexico, the Persistent Optical Wireless Energy Relay (POWER) program achieved several new records for transmitting power over distance. The team recorded more than 800 watts of power delivered during a 30-second transmission from a laser 8.6 kilometers (5.3 miles) away. Over the course of the test campaign, more than a megajoule of energy was transferred. Previously, the greatest reported distance records for an appreciable amount of optical power (>1 microwat

When random people give money to random other people (2017)

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2026-03-17 12:49:46

A post on Decision Science about a problem of Uri Wilensky‘s has been making the rounds: Imagine a room full of 100 people with 100 dollars each. With every tick of the clock, every person with money gives a dollar to one randomly chosen other person. After some time progresses, how will the money be distributed? People often expect the distribution to be close to uniform. But this isn’t right; the simulations in the post show clearly that inequality of wealth rapidly appears and then persists

I found a Linux distro that combines the best parts of other operating systems (and it works)

zdnet.com Jack Wallen 2026-03-17 20:22:00

Jack Wallen/ZDNET There are so many Linux distributions on the market, and they range from the command line only all the way to functioning works of art. The majority of distros fall somewhere in the middle, of course, and that's perfectly fine because most users prefer a blend of aesthetics and functionality. That's why the likes of Linux Mint, ZorinOS, elementaryOS, and Ubuntu are so popular. But every once in a while, a team releases an update to its distribution that reminds you that Linux

How DeepSeek used distillation to train its artificial intelligence model, and what it means for companies such as OpenAI

cnbc.com Jasmine Wu Deirdre Bosa 2025-11-14 11:00:01

Chinese artificial intelligence lab DeepSeek roiled markets in January, setting off a massive tech and semiconductor selloff after unveiling AI models that it said were cheaper and more efficient than American ones. But the underlying fears and breakthroughs that sparked the selling go much deeper than one AI startup. Silicon Valley is now reckoning with a technique in AI development called distillation, one that could upend the AI leaderboard. Distillation is a process of extracting knowledge
