Microsoft lists reasons why Windows 11 is better than Windows 10 but forgets to mention this – gHacks Tech News

stp2y0 CommentsNews

Windows 10 is a dying operating system. Microsoft plans to end support for Windows 10 in October 2025. While customers may extend support by up to three years, they have to pay Microsoft for that privilege. It should not come as a surprise that Microsoft's primary goal is to get customers to migrate to Windows 11.

Microsoft published a comparison table to highlight the advantages that Windows 11 has over Windows 10. The list compares…

Introducing the REFORMS checklist for ML-based science

stp2y0 CommentsChat-GPT

See the REFORMS pre-print and checklist here.Every music producer is looking for the next hit song. So when a paper claimed that machine learning can predict hit songs with 97% accuracy, it would have been music to their ears. News outlets, including Scientific American and Axios, published pieces about how this "frightening accuracy" could revolutionize the music industry. Earlier studies have found that it is hard to predict if a song will be successful in advance, so this paper seemed to be a dramatic achievement. Unfortunately for music producers, we found that the study's results are bogus.The model presented in the…

Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy's National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) have successfully leveraged robotic assistance in the manufacture of wind turbine blades, allowing for the elimination of difficult working conditions for humans and the potential to improve the consistency of the product. Although robots have been used by the wind energy industry to paint and polish blades, automation has not been widely adopted. Research at the laboratory demonstrates the ability of a robot to trim, grind, and sand blades. Those necessary steps occur after the two sides of the blade are made using a mold and then bonded…
