  The quiet plan to make the internet feel faster The Quiet Plan to Make the Internet Feel Faster We all know the frustration of waiting for a webpage to load, a video to buffer, or a video call to connect. These delays, known as latency, can feel like an eternity in our fast-paced world. But there's a plan in the works to make the internet feel faster, without anyone noticing. The answer lies in a new internet standard called L4S (Low-Latency Low-Loss Scalable throughput), which was finalized and published in January 2023. L4S aims to address some of the fundamental limitations of the current internet architecture, specifically the way data is routed and delivered.ent Internet limitations: Latency: The time it takes for data to travel from point A to point B. Packet loss: When data packets are lost in transit, causing errors and interruptions. Congestion: When too much data is trying to travel through the same network, leading to slowdowns. How L4S works: ...

  ChatGPT Doesn’t Have Human-Like Intelligence But New Models of AI May Be Able to Compete with Human Intelligence Soon Beyond ChatGPT: The Quest for Human-Level Artificial Intelligence The rise of ChatGPT and other large language models (LLMs) has sparked a fascinating debate about the nature of intelligence and the potential for AI to achieve human-level abilities. While ChatGPT's impressive conversational skills and ability to generate creative text formats have captivated audiences, it's crucial to recognize that it lacks true human-like intelligence. One key limitation of ChatGPT is its reliance on statistical patterns and correlations in its training data. This allows it to mimic human conversation and generate seemingly intelligent responses, but it lacks the understanding and reasoning capabilities that underpin true intelligence. ChatGPT cannot think for itself, form its own opinions, or learn and adapt independently. Despite these limitations, ChatGPT represents a sig...
