The AI race is really heating up. Microsoft appears to have taken the lead.

my fan grommets came, jesus it was a bigger job than I thought replacing all the screws on the million case fans of a modern computer...
Took like 2 months from alieexpress... but it came....!
also have a new CPU on the way for my old laptop, I think it cost like $15. it's about twice as fast as the chip in there now, but still within the power limit of the cooler...I also have thermal tape and compound to do that job once it comes in...
i wanted to order a Radeon 6600m graphics card next. But my engine took a shit this weekend.. think the water pump died while on the open road. It will no doubt eat up all my money.
think this is only new PC I can afford now!

I used to do a fair amount of game programming, so all the AI talk piqued my interest. Most game AI's are simpler than you might think, and don't need to employ machine learning. So I thought it'd be a fun exercise to create a machine learning based AI.
I chose the very simple game of Tic Tac Toe for ease of implementation. When creating my ML-AI, I strictly adhered to only using statistical analysis to make the next move. It would be trivial to design an AI using determinism to play a "perfect" game (always resulting in win/tie) since there are only 8 winning combinations for either 'X' or 'O'. But where's the fun in that?
The program allows you to build historical data by running simulated games using either a "random position" AI, or our ML-AI. The more data points you can collect, the better. Each game is serialized, saved, and then used for analysis by the AI when deciding its next move.
The game data file looks like this. We can run thousands, even millions of simulated games to build our position stats.
Each AI move is given a rollup of stats for each available position, so it can decide which position on the game board most often leads to a victory. There's a little more to the AI, but we are strictly enforcing a non-deterministic policy in our algorithm.
The AI is far from perfect, and certainly makes some bone headed moves sometimes. But you can see the AI learn and get better the more game data points you feed it.
You can find the .Net Core console app source here on GitHub. I've made it easy to implement your own AI by implementing the IAnalysis interface.

I've been using Firefox with an extension for vertical tabs for ~20 years. Never understood why browsers insist on putting them at the top. If you have a lot of tabs open, they are practically useless up there.

Edge has actually had that feature for some time but I just discovered it. It's a much better than all the tabs on the top. I sometimes have well over a dozen tabs open. I wish I would have found this feature sooner.

I have Bing with the Microsoft AI image creator preview on my phone now. I just did something silly to test it out. It takes seconds to generate an image from text prompts as none of the processing is done on the phone.
You can already do that from a standard browser by going to one of the many image generation websites but it's built into the new Bing which is pretty cool.

A hacker ripped me off for $10,000. The scam turned out to be brilliant — and terrifying.
Verizon, Chase, and the police were all useless when my identity got hacked. Then Psycho Bunny came to the rescue.

Greetings from the other-side.
The new Mac Toaster 2022/23 has arrived and is up and running. I've got my data copying now. Decided that I'm going to give Ubuntu Studio an attempt on my old Intel i7-7700k machine and let the real Mac be primarily editing and production box, and if successful let Linux be my daily driver box for goofing off and getting in trouble on the web.
Next up rebuilding my keyboard stand into an organized mixing desk with 2nd tier piano keys.

I finally got the Middleton bios flashed on my old 2007 Lenovo T61 laptop...
I use it when we have load shedding and I can't run my PC on the small generator.
The thing is quick as hell, it has upgraded RAM, CPU and SSD drive now and now the SATA speed is double what it was before the bios.
I am keeping an eye open for an old T60...those have a better display and the guts from the T61 fits inside.
And I got a 6600XT for my gaming rig, the poor old 4gb RX570 was crashing all the time in Call of Duty. Only paid $200 for it, was part of a mining rig for a few months... works flawlessly.

Maybe you can help me with my old t470 i attempted to upgrade. I upgraded to the newest cpu i could find upgraded ram, and got rid of the old hd to a 1tb ssd.
I did remove the cmos battery while i was doing this... not sure if i shoulda done that. It boots and operates fine, but on boot i get a bios warning that the power supply is the incorrect voltage, and the date is way off. The power supply didnt change, and im not sure if the date even matters, but it is irritating.
