Official response to you know what


Recommended Posts

The inflammatory poll we all know about was rightfully removed. But I have never seen anything as astounding as that on the front page. To be perfectly honest, it was to the point where I may have trouble trusting the news I read here from now on (and I have been reading for a very long time). I would like to think that some level of objectivity is maintained in "unprofessional journalism".

So regardless of your stance on the poll, don't neowinians deserve some sort of apology/ statement for such an offensive and repulsive post? At least something to clear the air would be nice.

Thanks, and sorry to bring this up again-- I know mods are trying to forget this ever happened judging by the closed threads.

It's a shame the complaints members have keep getting swept under the carpet and this thread will probably be closed quickly enough. Although I saw it coming with the Windows 8 "should be shot" article. Trash journalism sells newspapers, I guess the hope is that trash journalism also buys clicks.

You think it's clever to start a new thread almost identical to the one that was closed?

You think you are above the rules ?

Ok, please don't start another thread like this. Please put this to rest. These just crash into imflammatory, trollish, name-calling, warn producing disasters.

I appreciate everyone who posted a mature response, but no more please.

    • I am British, but still not offended, I really don't care. It is a shame that countries are run by the people that run them, that can't get on with other countries. Religion and greed is a lot of the problem. What we could do if we got together instead of fighting each other. But that is not the way it is, so because of that, we really need to show the world what the U.K can do. We have some very clever people in this country, sadly the government don't seem to do anything with them.

    • Autonomous post-training loop placed 8th of 4,000 and then rewrote its own evaluation strategy. An autonomous AI system built by researchers at Amazon's A-EVO-Lab completed a full post-training run on a 30 billion parameter NVIDIA Nemotron model — with no human in the loop, across four rounds running over multiple weeks — and then did something its designers had not planned for: it detected that its own internal evaluation metric had become misleading and redesigned the search strategy it was using to improve itself. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/319123/20260626/nvidia-ai-trained-itself-30b-model-corrected-its-own-broken-metric-mid-run.htm
