    The DeepMind robotics t=

    help robots make faster, be=

    involves a system for gatherin=

    safety-focused prompts instructing the mode=

    Starship and its Super Heavy booste=
    rs, the parts that travel into
    orbit won't be able to be reused as often.=
    Ships often have to orbit
    the planet several times before they line up w=

    OTH SCROLLING (5 MINUTE READ) [9]=20

    Terminal usually draws lines of te=
    xt at fixed intervals. When
    scrolling, the sudden jumps are incompatible =
    with how eyes track
    motion, making it a blurry mess that's hard to read. =
    This blog post
    discusses how to implement smooth scrolling in Terminal. W=
    hile smooth
    scrolling uses a lot more resources, it makes it possible to =
    easily
    skim text as it scrolls by. A video demonstrating the difference=

    between normal scrolling and smooth scrolling in Terminal is available=

    in the post.=20

    <span style=3D"font-family: &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, Helvetica, Arial, V= erdana, sans-serif;">
    Terminal usually draws lines of text at=
    fixed intervals. When scrolling, the sudden jumps are incompatible with ho=
    w eyes track motion, making it a blurry mess that's hard to read. This blog=
    post discusses how to implement smooth scrolling in Terminal. While smooth=
    scrolling uses a lot more resources, it makes it possible to easily skim t= ext as it scrolls by. A video demonstrating the difference between normal s= crolling and smooth scrolling in Terminal is available in the post.

    Microsoft partners will start shipping a new Copilot key on a variety
    of new PCs and laptops

    Gee, I really can't think of anything that is needed more than a new key on keyboards. I truly hope Co-Pilot is a passing trend. I also hope it'll be easy to continue to acquire keyboards without the Co-Pilot key.

    Know anyone with enough sway to get us a physical Telnet or SSH key on keyboards to log into Vert? :-)

    Some keyboards have additional keys to for media (pause/play, mute/unmute, volume up/down) and "office" keys that launch your web browser, email reader, calculator program, etc.. One example is the Logitech K200 media keybaord - I use one of those both at home and at work. If they can make keys to launch particular applications like those, I wonder if they could add a key to launch a telnet application.

    If they put it as an entry under the "Windows" key .... then OK. I can
    ignore it nicely there as I do all the Windows key functiona except the
    file explorer.

    AI is fast becoming a royal pain in my arse. I've been using BING as
    my search enginge by preference. But, since they have screwed the pooch
    by tacking AI onto it - automatically and with no way to opt out I may
    have to go to Duck Duck Go or some other arcane thing.

    ... Information and knowledge are two different things.
