Nope. I just tend to notice grammar/spelling errors, or tone things down when I may come off too aggressive, or sometimes remember something that I forgot I wanted to add while typing...or even spot that the comment I was replying to was itself edited.

So I go back and fix/add as I view necessary. :)

Also if you were dealing with intermittent aphasia due to actual scarring on the brain (been that way since early childhood) you'd probably want to fix things up when you notice some of it comes off not making as much sense as it should. ;)

What you do with your posts is what I do all the time. That's not a bad thing, in fact I think it's a good thing! :)

I know that I am a bit of a "Grammar Nazi"! When it comes to members who I know are English speaking and that they do not know the difference between words like, your and you're! It drives me "round the twist" when I see this and it takes a massive effort not to react to it! :D I fail often so please forgive me.

Yeah, I'll admit to being a big post-editing-ninja myself. Despite proofreading before posting, I always see a mistake or think of something new that simply must be added about 2 seconds AFTER I see it actually showing up on the site.

Indeed. A lot of times I'm also posting from my phone...and so autocorrect and other such errors creep in as well...so I'm like FML and will either fix it on the phone, or will hop on the PC since it's easier to edit there as well.

I've learned not to worry as much about the grammar of others...but still care enough about my own to usually fix it.

Hey guys, it's true, we forgot a category.

Might as well add it in. I have been called both here. So why not? No hard feelings over it either. Conversations here can get heated, but we are all just a big family and families fight and argue.

Thanks for not taking it the wrong way. Seems you cant get lighthearted or just rowdy without hurting feelings here anymore *cough*trag3dy*cough*

HUGS EVERYONE! :D

Can I hug just the girls?

My religion forbids me to hug men.

Sanctified, I'll have you drawn and quartered for that statement! :p I'll also just take the hugs from the women here also. Can't have people thinking I've surpassed my bigotry. :p

Thank you for this award.

This is such a great honor.

I would first like to thank god, because without him none of this would be possible.

I would also like to thank my parents for bringing me intro this world.

Finally I would like to thank Neowin for putting up with my years of bad jobs. Once again, thank you!

    • UK funds £60M AI labs to challenge US tech dominance with open-source models

      By zikalify · Posted

      UK funds £60M AI labs to challenge US tech dominance with open-source models by Paul Hill The UK government has awarded £60 million to Oxford University and University College London to help keep the country in the AI race by focusing on open-source, low-hardware alternatives. This is in stark contrast to the expensive, closed-source, and high-hardware-requirement models being created in the United States and elsewhere. The money will be shared among two new academic research labs over six years to help them redesign the fundamental mathematics and architectures of AI to help the UK reduce its reliance on a handful of US tech firms. Commenting on the development, AI Minister Kanishka Narayan said: Initially, the government planned to fund just one lab with a £40 million investment, but with this update, two labs will now get access to a larger pool of funds. The labs are expected to invest in the top AI researchers at every career stage, with £2 million per lab being set aside for hiring at least ten doctoral students. The government hopes that this will grow the UK’s talent in the field of AI. The labs are also expected to work closely with the leaders in British AI research, such as the Alan Turing Institute and UKRI’s AI research hubs. This will allow the various teams to collaborate and create new solutions faster than they could alone. This development is pretty interesting for a number of reasons, chiefly that it could create a long-term challenge for US tech firms if these labs successfully scale these open-source architectures that bypass the proprietary ecosystems. It could also give British businesses and public sector organizations access to AI features without paying high licensing fees to foreign providers or needing to invest in specialized server infrastructure.
    • Valve finally confirms Steam Machine prices, starts at $1049 for 512GB option

      If I were them, I'm gonna hold out until the prices of these semiconductor parts normalize. $1,049 for a ~5 year old hardware is DoA, more so for gamers. On a deeper note, if Steam Machine is priced like this, we are soo effed up for the next gen Xbox console and PS6. With great AAA titles releasing at the end of the year, this just creates more demand...and more tears for me. Lol.

      I suspect one reason its hard to justify subsidising is that it's not a locked down device like a traditional console is. In this climate sadly if it was a "good deal" you'd get people hoarding them for anything but gaming. The Lenovo Legion Go 2 with the Ryzen Z2 Extreme is £1300 here ($1720) for some context on how other SteamOS like devices are now priced. I got the older Z1 Extreme model for £300 with a dock, just shows how insane prices have got recently.
