Microsoft DOESN'T CARE - WAN Show Aug 16, 2019

Mac or PC, whichever one you personally prefer. You have to admit that there are advantages to the other side. Let me think about it. You simply cannot run, say, Final Cut Pro or Logic Pro on Windows and, at the same time, gaming on Mac OS Sox only there were some way that you could run both of them at near full speed simultaneously on the same PC. Oh, what's that there. I guess there is so behind me and Anthony is a machine that we call the indecision ater. It can be a Mac, it can be a PC and through some software magic it can actually be both of them at the same time as you can see right here so uh. What do you say guys? Should we walk you through how we did it and take it for a spin? I think so after this message from our sponsor Vertigo's PL 4500 RGB LED upgrade kit. Wirelessly connects to your PC and features tons of color customization options, including audio and visual sync, and more check them out at the link in the video description, [ Music ]. If you've seen any of our videos involving hackintosh virtual machines, you'll probably have some idea where we're going with this. If not, here's the twenty second version using Red, Hat's, KVM hypervisor many modern computers can actually have their resources like CPU cores system memory or even graphics cards, divide it up and then allocate it to multiple users or workloads. Using this technology you can even install two operating systems on the same computer that exists completely independently of each other, as we've done in the past. So for today's project, then we've got something really really cool for you guys. So we've taken an AMD reisen. 930. 900. X12 core processor and then what we've done is: we've split those 12 cores straight down the middle between two virtual machines that will run Windows on one side and Mac OS on the other for graphics, we've gone with an RT X, 20 atti for our windows box And a Radeon 7 for our Mac, then we've passed those graphics cards through to their respective VMs, this method of assigning our GPUs results in relatively little lost performance. So the main challenge we ran into for this project. While there were many firsts and videos, legendary code, 43 error, Nvidia, obviously doesn't like consumers running their GeForce GPUs in a VM just go out and buy a Quadro. Combating some weird stuttering in Windows was the next issue that we had to fix and we fixed that by switching to message. Signaled interrupts instead of traditional electrical line based interrupts like you'd, normally get in a processor these days or ever really and finally, getting the mac OS catalina beta to use the drivers that Apple included for virtualized storage. That last one in particular, is prop really exciting, because Apple has never supported it in the past, make sure you're subscribed, because I'm already working on convincing Linus here to let me work on a video on Mac virtualization. Once we get the Mac Pro in yeah. We'Re definitely gonna be doing that. Anywho, where things take a bit of a turn today, is how we're going to interact with our Frankenstein machine. So in the past, if you wanted to use multiple computers, you'd either have to use a hardware switcher and conveniently also call KVM multiple monitors or in the case of the LGU d 79 that we used once before. You would have to be content with 1080p quadrants of a single 16 by 9 4k display. Today. We have something quite special. This display from Phillips is the 499 p, 9 H and it's a 1440p super ultra wide display, with a double wide 32 by 9 aspect ratio, which means that what we're effectively looking at here is a bezel free single display setup where we've got the equivalent of 2 27 inch monitors side by side with no bezel in between them, so we can completely seamlessly interact with both of our VMs. How do you do that? You might be asking well well so did you do that? Yeah? This energy is still kind of trying to work out the kinks of their 2.0 release. So I decided to use a different piece of software, just kind of switched things I'll call share mouse, which has some, unfortunately, agro marketing, but hey if it works, it works and for the most part, although there are some glitches like you can see my Mac OS Cursor is actually still kind of ghosted over here there you go and you can see kind of the header of my windows cursor. For the most part it actually does work. We can move the cursor seamlessly from one of our displays over to the other, as if the imaginary line down the middle didn't exist, in fact, actually we could probably do some really cool stuff. Like pretend that the whole thing is one machine, so I actually don't know how to switch the wallpaper on a Mac, but I'm gonna go ahead and do this one nice, it's an abomination, isn't it beautiful? Oh, I like this too LTTE store.com by a water bottle. Ok, then, so we're good. Essentially, what we've got here is to rise in 5:30 600 systems, but on one machine, we're running Mac OS and, on the other, one we're running Windows with seamless Mouse movement between them, which means, if I wanted to. I could browse the Internet over here in Safari and then potentially use an Apple Magic Trackpad for gesture control. While I fire up, let's say game, like shadow of the Tomb Raider over on the other side. Wait am I just running in a circle right now? Yes, so I'm like okay, I'm bored of playing video games or whatever and I go over - and I browse the forum. Then I'm just like oh yeah, you know what I'm gonna go back to playing video games, freakin nuts yeah and you can set up a keyboard shortcut to switch automatically, so you don't need to Creole tap. We just haven't set that up yet so, let's say game play, isn't your number one priority, maybe you're a content creator like a youtuber or a twitch streamer and that's kind of more of your jam. So what you could do, then, is capture some gameplay with shadow play or OBS and then port that directly over to the Mac by dragging and dropping and there you can use that if you're more comfortable with it check this out. So I just grabbed the clip that I recorded right now, while you're talking dragged it over the middle line and loop there. It is, let's see what the back looks like boom nice just like that now doesn't copy that quickly: we're limited to about 20 megabytes. A second, so there's probably some work. The developer could do on that, but hey the footage is there now. One thing I did want to mention is that we didn't manage to login to the App Store. We think it might be something to do with our copy of Final Cut Pro being on my consumer register at Apple account and this being a developer only OS, because it's still the preview but hey. The point is, if you're comfortable, editing in Final Cut Pro, you can create your content on Windows and then you can edit it together on the Mac, and then you could log into YouTube on Windows, and you can upload it from Windows. If you wanted to pretty cool best of all, if you want, you can select just one of the VMS for full productivity, with the press of a button and another button and another button and another button, this they told us it was gonna, be just like One button to switch yeah yeah. They said that they could actually set it up to just switch by a single button. But as far as I can tell no, but it does have a KVM and that is the keyboard, video mouse rendition of KBM, so ready hat. So, what's cool about that at the very least, is that if you want to use just one set of peripherals for both of your OSS, you can by plugging in through the monitor right? Let me just switch inputs here. Obviously, I could change it to full resolution, but yeah as we can see it's being a little bit dumb and also our Mac needs to be unplugged and replugged. Sometimes, in order to pick up this yeah, that's just Apple things. I think. Okay, it's a little janky, but what's cool about our setup here is that it doesn't even have to be Windows and Mac OS. It'S just that, thanks to the Mac OS catallena beta Mac OS now supports not just virtualized storage like Anthony mentioned before that allowed us to take our single PCIe gen 4. So like this high performance, 2 terabyte SSD and split it up, but it even supports other verdi, o devices. Now so we can get access to near native speeds over the network as well. Like imagine what it would be like to take a machine like this and be able to split something like the upcoming 16 core Raisa 939 50 X, I mean, even without all the PCI Express Lanes and memory bandwidth that you could get from something like a thread. Ripper you'd be compromising very little janky NASA side with a dual setup like this, so I mean. Maybe we should come back to this concept when that launches, make sure you guys are subscribed and stay tuned, because if nothing else we'll definitely be checking out virtualization on the upcoming Mac Pro yeah and by that time I think that there's a lot more, that I Could do to smooth out the experience overall like having a virtualized 9p shared drive between the two OSS that lets it basically become a network drive that native speeds, but that's all we have time for today. So if you haven't seen it already check out our previous Mac, virtualization videos, we'll have them linked below pulse way, is a real-time, remote monitoring and management software that helps you fix problems on the go you can send commands from routerhosting any mobile device and the software is Compatible with Windows, Mac and Linux pulse way, single app gives you remote desktop functionality, so you can get access to real-time status system resources.

The robotics and AI revolution will, like local weather change, disrupt life as we all know it; what future will it herald for people?

http://tinyurl.com/y3m5qxv2 Joining the Dots is a weekly column by writer and journalist Samrat through which he connects occasions to concepts, typically via evaluation, however often via satire *** Final week, a video went viral on social media around the globe. It shows a robotic arm choosing up a bowling ball, spinning its arm round, and hurling the ball down the lane at velocity, sending all of the bowling pins flying. It quickly emerged that the very real-looking video was the truth is faux, the work of a movement graphics designer who had hash-tagged it with phrases akin to animation, rendering and CGI to point that it was computer-generated, earlier than sharing on social media. Nonetheless, from the reactions it was clear that not everybody picked up the clues; many if not most individuals thought it was actual. The impossibility of distinguishing between faux and actual in photos and movies is an on a regular basis incidence now, one thing we simply must dwell with. At the same time as we spend extra of our days gazing screens of assorted sizes, we more and more can not inform if what we’re taking a look at, whether or not phrase, picture, or video, is an outline of actuality or the creation of somebody’s creativeness. It’s going to get extra fascinating quickly. Final yr, in October, a portray titled “Portrait of Edmond de Belamy” created by an AI was sold by Christie’s in New York for $432,000 (near Rs three crore). Earlier this yr, Sotheby’s hosted an public sale of an AI art work. It didn’t get anyplace close to the worth of the primary Christie’s piece, fetching solely £40,000 (round Rs 35 lakh) — however that’s not the purpose. The purpose is that AI methods are creating artworks which are deemed ok and fascinating sufficient to be auctioned by Christie’s and Sotheby’s. It’s now not solely human imaginations we now have to deal with. Portrait of Edmond de Belamy auctioned by Christie’s. Picture by way of Wikimedia Commons This yr additionally noticed the publication (by tutorial writer Springer) of a analysis guide on lithium-ion batteries authored by a bot. And OpenAI, an organization backed by Elon Musk amongst others, launched a paper on a system that may generate what they referred to as “deepfakes for information”, or “high-quality faux information”. They didn’t launch the code as a result of they thought it could be too harmful to take action. Expertise appears already to be attending to the purpose the place it is ready to generate photos and textual content that no less than the overwhelming majority of people could be unable to differentiate from the work of different, professional people — artists and writers. Video will observe. Our notion of what’s actual and what’s not is clearly going to be challenged in years to come back. We could not wish to acknowledge this, however the indicators are clear sufficient. We additionally don’t wish to acknowledge that, like local weather change, the revolution in robotics and AI will the truth is disrupt life as we all know it. For starters, it’s apparent that if AI methods are sensible sufficient to create artwork and write books and information studies, beat the perfect on this planet in chess, win quiz exhibits akin to Jeopardy and the board sport Go, they’re additionally sensible sufficient to do a whole lot of much less difficult duties. Agriculture was the principal occupation of most individuals around the globe for hundreds of years. That started to alter with the Industrial Revolution, although the shift has been gradual. In line with World Financial institution knowledge, in 2018, in nations it classifies as Excessive Revenue, solely three p.c of whole employment was in agriculture. The corresponding determine for Center Revenue nations was 30 p.c, and for Low Revenue nations was 63 p.c. The concept has typically been that as economies develop, folks transfer out of agriculture into different sectors akin to manufacturing and providers. Within the developed world, employment in trade has additionally seen a reasonably regular downward development since 1990 no less than. The providers sector has been the expansion space; for example, within the European Union, in 2018, employment in providers accounted for 72 p.c of the overall. In North America the corresponding determine is 79 p.c. It is apparent that if AI methods are sensible sufficient to create artwork and write books and information studies, beat the perfect on this planet in chess, win quiz exhibits and board video games, they’re additionally sensible sufficient to do a whole lot of much less difficult duties. Nonetheless from the movie Ex-Machina. Picture for illustration solely Retail, transport, banking and telecom are necessary examples of industries within the service sector. All are seeing rising automation. As an illustration, in London, the massive retail chains akin to Sainsbury’s and Marks & Spencer’s have already got loads of self-checkout counters. There are that many fewer employees in every retailer. Self-driving vehicles are already a factor; the day when Uber taxis drive themselves, no less than in nations the place site visitors guidelines are adopted, isn’t far. Plenty of shopping for and promoting of shares within the inventory market is already being carried out by algorithms. They’ll come for banking jobs too, as they may come for routine customer support and name centre jobs in telecom. Additionally on Firstpost — The future according to Yuval Noah Harari: The historian on the 21st century’s biggest challenges, and how to face them The logic of corporations is lastly pushed by two phrases: effectivity and revenue. When tireless bots, algorithms and robots can do jobs with out errors, with out complaints, with out holidays and sick leaves, and most significantly, with out salaries, you may ensure that as quickly as prices and availability allow, the applied sciences can be adopted. A future through which automatons do most of labor as we all know it’s nigh. Since work is both bodily or psychological, and the automatons will more and more be able to each, will probably be troublesome if not unimaginable for many people to maneuver to the next area of interest within the job market. The query is who all of the work can be for. The difficulty with robots and algorithms is that they don’t want to purchase stuff; solely people do. An expert optimist would possibly conceive of a future the place the machines do a lot of the work whereas we people get a common fundamental earnings in our financial institution accounts in order that we are able to purchase issues and maintain the entire financial system operating. That is fantastic, nevertheless it leaves us with a good larger query. We’re lastly confronted with the concept of freedom, and that may be a horrifying thought for many. Our days and our lives at current are given construction by work. Individuals worth themselves and others by designations and salaries. They dwell eight hours a day, 5 days per week, most weeks of the yr, for many of their lives with work. Their youths are spent in preparation for this; schooling is motivated and directed in giant measure in direction of gainful employment. With gainful employment out of the image, would so many individuals be curious about learning for 16 or extra years of their lives, at appreciable expense? Maybe, as skilled optimist Karl Marx remarked, will probably be doable, lastly, for everybody “to do one factor right now and one other tomorrow, to hunt within the morning, fish within the afternoon, rear cattle within the night, criticise after dinner…with out ever changing into hunter, fisherman, herdsman or critic,” although the looking, fishing, and cattle-rearing could must be carried out just about, and the criticism could also be bereft of even the illusion of schooling now seen on social media and in feedback sections. The skilled pessimist model of this state of affairs is just too darkish to color. Samrat is an writer, journalist and former newspaper editor.
