It's nothing like the experience you'd get using a Nexus 6 or Moto X Pure Edition, but Verizon Wireless is in the process of rolling out an Android 5.0 software update for Samsung's Galaxy S5. TouchWiz is still here in all its glory, but Samsung says it's made tweaks throughout the software to make it a good match for Google's Material Design. Those include a "brighter look and feel, bold colors, and fluid animation inspired by Material Design," according to Verizon's release notes. Samsung has also switched up the look of its on/off toggle for menus to be closer in line with Lollipop.

I just got 4.4.4 and then 5.0 one after the other last week on my Sprint S5. Literally one after the other. It does seem a little smoother for me, but my S3 with CM11 seemed smoother day to day. I like SHealth and some of the newer functions, but might go back to Cyanogenmod this summer.

    • NVIDIA AI Trained Itself on a 30B Model: Corrected Its Own Broken Metric Mid-Run

      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

    • Ford execs say they made a mistake when they replaced human engineers with AI

      If Ford would stop hiring SUITS to run the company, and put CAR GUYS back in charge perhaps they could do better. Heck, the only CAR they produce today is the Mustang. Hey Ford! Not everyone needs/wants an overpriced SUV or pickup truck that is so tall you have to have a step ladder to get in and out of it.

      Amazing how some will just jump all over something. Probably the same people that thought Musk was a "tech god" before he saddled up with "bad orange man". Before, they worshiped at his feet, including a lot of so called hollywood types. Now, because he fell off the plantation truck, they toss him under the bus.
