Sale ends January 12 at 11:59 p.m. PT. There's a lot to love about Microsoft's recently updated operating system. Besides enhanced security features and a more user-friendly interface, it incorporates AI to make it a modern powerhouse. Its new AI assistant, Copilot, uses a custom version of GPT-4 called GPT-4 Turbo to help you automate tasks and processes. It's like getting the paid version of ChatGPT built into your OS.

Microsoft recently released the Microsoft Digital Defense Report 2024, this year's edition of the company's annual cybersecurity report. In the 114-page document, Microsoft reveals -- among other things -- just how much cyber threats have grown over the past year. Cybercriminals have gained access to better resources, including the incorporation of AI tools to bolster their arsenal. They're now better equipped to create fake images, videos, and audio recordings to trick people, to flood job applications with AI-created "perfect" résumés to physically access companies, and much more. But hackers can also use your use of AI services to attack you.

If you thought that Microsoft wouldn't capitalize on its AI opportunity for businesses, think again. Microsoft will tell its corporate partners this week at Microsoft Inspire that it will charge a whopping $30 per user per month for Microsoft 365 Copilot, Microsoft's AI-assisted features for its Microsoft 365 suite -- double what it's charging for Microsoft 365 by itself. Microsoft is also announcing a specialized version of Bing Chat for businesses, Bing Chat Enterprise, that will can be used to ask the AI questions about a company's confidential information without it being leaked outside of corporate firewalls. Microsoft is clearly betting that enterprises will value Microsoft 365 Copilot enough that they'll want to pay for the additional features Copilot offers, which vary by Office application. In fact, Microsoft isn't even saying when Microsoft 365 Copilot will be available this week at its Inspire conference -- just preparing those customers (specifically Microsoft 365 E3, E5, Business Standard and Business Premium customers) that they'll have to pay a ton for the additional AI services.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a rapidly evolving technology that can revolutionize the way we use and interact with software. In recent years, the integration of AI in Windows software has transformed the computing experience, making it more personalized, efficient, and effective. AI is vital in enhancing the accessibility of Windows software. For example, Windows uses Natural Language Processing (NLP) and machine learning algorithms to learn from user behavior and respond to voice commands. As a result, it can adapt to user needs, making it easier to use and more intuitive.

Build During the second day of its Build developer conference in Seattle, Washington, on Tuesday, Microsoft shined the spotlight on Microsoft 365, its year-old swirl of software and services made by whipping Office 365, Windows 10, and Enterprise Mobility and Security (EMS) into a single confection – a suite. In vendor-speak, this is called a solution, or for a more social framing, an experience. Joe Belfiore, corporate veep in the operating systems group at Microsoft, presided over the software-focused shindig, an event organized in four chapters: Windows, Windows development, Office development, and Microsoft Graph. As is often done at such events, numbers were hauled out as a stand-in for significance: Belfiore said there are 135 million commercial monthly active users of Office 365, and more than 200,000 organizations using Microsoft Teams. Belfiore recapped the themes sounded by CEO Satya Nadella on Monday, such as the need for more responsible development of technology.

This package includes stand-alone Python code to run any of the included/available Relief-Based algorithms (RBAs) designed for feature weighting/selection as part of a machine learning pipeline (supervised learning). Presently this includes the following core RBAs: ReliefF, SURF, SURF*, and MultiSURF*. Additionally, an implementation of the iterative TuRF mechanism is included. It is still under active development and we encourage you to check back on this repository regularly for updates. These algorithms offer a computationally efficient way to perform feature selection that is sensitive to feature interactions as well as simple univariate associations, unlike most currently available filter-based feature selection methods.

Anyone concerned that Microsoft is evolving into a more accessible version of IBM, rather than the consumer company many would like it to be, isn't going to feel any better after the company's Build developer conference starting May 8 in Seattle. Two expected moves will reinforce that enterprise direction: a Kinect sensor for Azure, and two HoloLens apps that are being adapted for businesses using mixed reality. Microsoft chief executive Satya Nadella is expected to open Build on Monday by describing the "intelligent cloud and the intelligent edge," which has been Microsoft's unofficial mantra for about a year. Microsoft plans to define what it means by intelligent edge: By 2020, there will be about 30 billion connected devices, each generating about 1.5GB of data per day. Smart buildings and connected factories will add to that.

As a Windows user interested in learning to use GPUs for deep learning I have been frustrated with the available software and books for a couple of years. Most books seem to have been written on Linux systems and then you are told that the code should work fine with Windows - which is not always so. Also several deep learning systems have not been set up for Windows yet. So when I first read about TensorFlow I decided to give it a try: I got this book and one other. Final evaluation first: I gave it 4 stars because the code worked for me (more accurately: much, not all of the code worked), but the situation was better than other books hence 4 stars.

Windows users are being told to update their computers after a hacking group released a collection of exploits designed to help cybercriminals break into Microsoft's software. The tools, which were released by the Shadow Brokers group, had allegedly been stolen from the US' National Security Agency (NSA) last summer. It is believed that NSA spies had been using the exploits to secretly break into computers running older versions of Windows, including XP and Vista. Microsoft says "most of the exploits" have already been addressed with a series of patches – one of which was issued as recently as last month – but warned Windows users to make sure their devices are up to date. The I.F.O. is fuelled by eight electric engines, which is able to push the flying object to an estimated top speed of about 120mph.
