  Whether you like it or not, Internet Explorer has evolved. And with it, a rich legacy that altered the way we surfed the internet. Microsoft will ultimately discontinue the much criticised Internet Explorer on June 15, 2022. It did, however, expose the internet to millions of people in spite of its critiques. During the 1990s and 2000s, Windows dominated personal computers, and the built-in browser followed suit. But as time went by, superior substitutes like Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome appeared. Eventually, even Microsoft created a new browser named Microsoft Edge to take the place of Internet Explorer as the default browser for Windows. So, as a final farewell, let us revisit the software that was Internet Explorer (IE). In 1994, Thomas Reardon utilised the Mosaic browser's source code to create the initial iteration of Internet Explorer. Mosaic was a product of Spyglass, Inc. Then, Spyglass, Inc. granted Microsoft a licence to use this software in exchange for a quarterl

  GitHub Co-Pilot: Feature or Threat? In order to help Visual Studio Code users, Github and OpenAI created the artificial intelligence programme GitHub Copilot. GitHub made the first announcement on June 29, 2021. In order to generate legitimate computer code, GitHub Copilot employs a modified version of GPT-3, a language prediction model that was intended to generate text that resembles human speech. The public GitHub repositories of any licence are used for Copilot’s training. The Benefits of Copilot Of course, it goes without saying that, throughout time, robots have greatly facilitated the work of their human counterparts, and the Github co-pilot is no exception. Who wouldn’t want great capabilities like code auto-generation and completion while working, after all? But how exactly does this operate? How can we achieve code auto-generation? OpenAI Codex, a GPT-3 ancestor that was trained on publicly accessible source code and spoken language, is capable of understanding both program
