#Google don't like C++

Based on this experience we expect that high assurance memory safety can only be achieved via a Secure-by-Design approach centered around comprehensive adoption of languages with rigorous memory safety guarantees. We see no realistic path for an evolution of C++ into a language with rigorous memory safety guarantees that include temporal safety. As a consequence, we are considering a gradual transition of C++ code at Google towards other languages that are memory safe.

OpenAI states it is starting a test this week, which will introduce "Memory" to a "small portion" of its free and Plus ChatGPT users.
Memory will let ChatGPT remember what users have talked about across their devices so they won't have to reiterate the same details.
OpenAI is also introducing several security and privacy settings to help users stay in control of what is saved.

A practical upgrade that can be a good tool to have available. Useful when you ask within a topic over time. ChatGPT is a wonderful Q&A tool, I embrace it for that, its a superior search engine. But yeah, the memory thing might be an issue when people use it for private questions and personal "chat".

The Best Apps for Improving Memory – Because Practice Makes Better

I’ve certainly seen from playing Wordle every day that your game improves over time. The brain is like a muscle (not in how it functions) in that practice and time spent sharpening it, does show improvement. It’s like any hobby you do too – practice makes better (or perfect if you really dedicate regular time).

There are many apps out there that purport to beef up your memory skills, though research on whether they work has been spotty and conclusions about efficacy are pretty limited. One thing we do know is that they’re not going to magically cure major cognitive decline. Still, if a few puzzles a day help you feel better and get your gears going, it could be worth a download just to get that rush. Apps are just one of many ways to get a little brain boost, but below are some of the better ones out there.

I’ve tried Lumosity and Cognifit so far. Lumosity is quite nice in that it benchmarks you against others of your age profile. Cognifit was a bit more difficult and the finesse you can use your mouse with, does also make a difference. Most are time based, so you also want to make sure you are in a space where you won’t be disturbed at all. Any phone alert etc is going to pull your concentration away.

#Apple says #8GB of #RAM on #M3 MacBooks is similar to #16GB on #Windows PCs

source: https://www.techspot.com/news/100784-apple-8gb-ram-m3-macbooks-similar-16gb-windows.html

Apple's new M3 products push the emerging #Arm #PC sector to the next level, but the cheapest #MacBook in the lineup is a $1,600 #notebook with only 8GB of unified memory. Many consider 16GB the current standard and arguably the minimum for intense workloads, but Apple thinks its RAM is different.

I'm also wondering why 8GB of RAM on a MacBook costs as much as 32GB on a non-Apple #laptop?
