The time of the AI writer

November 10, 2019 by Neville Hobson 

Developments in artificial intelligence that can write authentic-looking stories took a big leap forward earlier this year with the release of GPT-2, a predictive text-creation algorithm that can create a coherent, realistic-sounding continuation of a text input as short as one or two sentences. In other words, the software looks at a text you write and predicts the next words and phrases.

FIR 188: Translating the Internet into Arabic

October 20, 2019 by Neville Hobson 

Internet

Finding news and information online you can trust about things you're interested in is a high expectation for most people in these connected times in which we live.

Memories on floppy disks

August 27, 2019 by Neville Hobson 

Windows 95 floppy

Sorting through some boxes and things in storage as part of the type of chore you often do on a Bank Holiday Monday, I came across some items that took me on a little journey. Floppy disks. The 3-1/2 inch, double-sided, 1.44Mb type. Boxes of them. I had time only to look in one box (thus exhibiting an extraordinary level of self-discipline) and encountered a few great memories (pun not intended) of my computing landscape 25 years ago.
