Indeed, in the future, any app could be built as a native shell that provides the integration to the OS, then the actual app is streamed from the Cloud.

So, we get a native app that also runs on a server, like a website.

As Microsoft Cloud Gaming (xCloud) and other platforms are proving, there are new markets for this type of apps.

Very cool results indeed. Clearly some object detection involved.

Here are their APIs: https://tech.yandex.com/

At first glance, it doesn't look like Image Search is included.

I know this doesn't answer your question directly, but depending on how much time you intend to spend dabbling in AI/ML, it might not be worth it to first learn a whole new programming environment.

So, you might be able to dabble enough while staying productive with C#. Take a look at ML.NET: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/machine-learning/

Edit: And everything you learn from that experience will still be useful if you decide later on to dive deeper with Python.

If you use certain new features of SQLite, the database file gets "upgraded". At that time, you must use a version of SQLite that understands these new features.

So, the other computer you used was probably running an older version of SQLite. Just update it to make it work.

The naming makes sense when you add ': Windows' Subsystem for Linux

My take away is this: In an ideal world, a benevolent dictatorship would be (overall) better than a democracy. In that ideal world, the dictator would be the perfect leader: Smart/wise, selfless, open minded...

Of course, we don't live in an ideal world.

Funny example: Heaven (the Christian version) will be an ideal dictatorship (for Christians) :)

GP gave some good points about benevolent dictatorship. Can you elaborate on why it wouldn't be "the best thing" in general? And ideally weight that against all the other scenarios where it is.
