AI Thread Summary
AMD's Bulldozer architecture was initially promised for release in 2009, with expectations for a Q3 launch in the current year. However, skepticism surrounds its actual release, with concerns that it may be underwhelming upon arrival, similar to the long-delayed game Duke Nukem Forever. The uncertainty about Bulldozer's performance and the prolonged wait have led some users to recommend opting for Intel processors instead, especially for those needing immediate upgrades. The general sentiment is that unless Bulldozer offers significant advancements, it may not justify the wait.

Last I heard AMD was planning on releasing its bulldozer architecture during Q3 later this year. Does anyone thing this will actually ever happen? AMD promised this way back in 2009 and we have yet to see anything. I need to upgrade my desktop in the near future and don't want to wait for something that's not going to be released for another few years.

It'll probably happen eventually, but when it does its going to be underwhelming. Kind of like Duke Nukem Forever, been in development for 13 years (or so) and when it gets released it's going to be one of the worst games on the market.

I recommend to just go with Intel and be done with it. My friend was waiting for Bulldozer to update his system but they took too long for him also. Unless this is something really revolutionary, it's not going to be worth waiting for at all.

I've been experimenting with ChatGPT. Some results are good, some very very bad. I think examples can help expose the properties of this AI. Maybe you can post some of your favorite examples and tell us what they reveal about the properties of this AI. (I had problems with copy/paste of text and formatting, so I'm posting my examples as screen shots. That is a promising start. :smile: But then I provided values V=1, R1=1, R2=2, R3=3 and asked for the value of I. At first, it said...

Thread 'MS 365 Profile Badge colour'

Sorry if 'Profile Badge' is not the correct term. I have an MS 365 subscription and I've noticed on my Word documents the small circle with my initials in it is sometimes different in colour document to document (it's the circle at the top right of the doc, that, when you hover over it it tells you you're signed in; if you click on it you get a bit more info). Last night I had four docs with a red circle, one with blue. When I closed the blue and opened it again it was red. Today I have 3...
