My favorite laptop is my Samsung Chromebook Plus (V1), released in early 2017. ARM based. Good battery life. Light. Touch screen. I replaced the battery and keeps running strong. Sure is 32 bit and Google disowned the OS long ago. It will be a sad day the day I let it go.

I have failed to succeed.

I would expect the Tao of backup to loose all data every so often. What is success without failure?

Heard this morning on NPR show: The 3 areas were AI fails from the get-go.

Creativity

Taste

Judgement

If we let AI cook. We are going to have to eat it.

All is missing is the white pages phone book tethered by a chain. Pick a name at random and dial it and say: "Michael Davenport?, It's me!"

Not to be a contrarian but that vanilla look is what creates traction or commerce. When we pull into a 7-Eleven weather in Seattle or Florida people want the same experience and the same expectations. And as such with end with liminal space. A sad space where the coffee and the Slim-Jim are the same. The familiarity of nowhere or anywhere America.

Almost at the bottom of the page the highlight moves towards the window.

I was hopping; oh yes! The biggest invention of my generation.

The mini split.

But nah! It was highlighting a dumb'ol plane.

I love the article.

For my own reasons I went right away to search for the word "brutalist" which is what the older stations evoke when the cement ages around you.

Not pretty to look at it.

It reminds me of the Apple TV series Silo. It makes you want to escape to the surface to clean the camera.

The new stations on the Silver Line to IAD bring better feelings.

The 3 big ones, Linux, GCC and Git require a human to vouch/explain the work in question.

Once the 3 big ones start using LLM to review/accept the work for speed reliability sake, who knows what is going to happen.

Identify yourself clearly.

Explain your rationale for picking that person you are trying to reach.

Put yourself at mercy of the helper.

Last but not least.

End the recording and turn of the camera on your R2D2 droid.

Some move all their lives and keep adapting their movements as their age. Others did not move much through the lives and when they hit 60s and they start loosing the mobility, doctors suggest for them to move more, if anything. If you never hiked and you start hiking in your 60s for health reasons. Pick up short flat trails.

That is a great book. I like how the book describes the Wizards tackling world famine through GMO's.

AI accelerates our rate of energy consumption as we vie for efficiencies and alternative sources of energy. That is concerning.

Maybe the next book will be:

The AI and The Prophet.

Same here. Non native English speaker. The first rule is that inner squares are of size 1. Always.

Yet, in each example the inner squares shrink. Uh?

It know it was a convention to better show the arrangement, normalizing, yadda yadda.

Yet, Uh?

Musk was not going to win due to the statue of limitations. Altman was wrong to turn a non-profit to a for-profit because they need it more money (really?). Was not the whole point of Open AI to shield artificial intelligence from the amoral practices of capitalistic controls? This is yet another example of our legal system falling short due to the fast an unforeseen changes of society and technology.

The article is apropos of the NPR show This American Life "Give a Little Whistle"

https://www.thisamericanlife.org/give-a-little-whistle

People being asked for blind loyalty or to step aside.

It is ironic hear people whose whole life was dedicated to chase immigrants being surprise when it evolved to chase each other: police state.

From the article:

“Anything that came out after I was born isn’t that great.”

I could not agree more.

"cognitive offloading" yeah, right. that is what I am doing with article.

I thought guitar refinement had its limits then I saw these guys...

I will be a beginner forever. That's okay.

I was one of the bozos believing that the dimensions of the CD had to do with Beethoven 9th symphony. :(

Yes I did went and paired up a CD with a cassette this morning OMG!!! Is true.

I could not afford the $300.00 USD Sony Portable CD but I friend of mine did.

First CD he let me listen to: Genesis "Genesis"

First DDD CD: Peter Gabriel "Security"

That last one probably the most influential music in my upbringing.

Funny though, I have hundred of CDs but I don't have those two.

I guess I have to go back to my friends house to listen to them.

Western thinking is linear. We gasp when learn of the decline of civilizations. The trip back to the source can be inspirational or filled with tragedy and pain. Cycles are inevitable. Thread lightly.

Use the the fork, Luke. Time for matplotlibai. Not need to burden people with LLM diatribes.

I had to ask duck.ai to summarize the article in plain English.

It said that the article claims that is not necessarily that AI is getting smarter but that people might be getting too stupid to understand what are they getting into.

Can confirm.

They are not trying to sell adds. They are trying to sell themselves as a monthly service. That is what I think when they are trying to convince me to go there to think. I rather go think at Wikipedia.

Termux and I have a love-hate relationship. Is my go-to app in my ARM based chromebook. Yet I am forced to upgrade the package manager to install git and other tools and once the package manager upgrades.. SSL library breaks. So you get ONE CHANCE to install your packages before SSL gets upgraded and bam! No more installations for you. I go to the usual places to look for fixes and it's like yeah yeah yeah. Try this.. tried? Still broken, beats me.

That's what I get for sticking with 32 bit ARM chromebook. Lightning fast. Great battery. Old OS.

I listened to an segment on the radio where a College Teacher told their class that it was okay to use AI assist you during test provided:

1. Declare in advance that AI is being used.

2. Provided verbatim the questions and answer session.

3. Explain why the answer given by the AI is good answer.

Part of the grade will include grading 1, 2, 3

Fair enough.

I love this project! I am minimalist web-gui averse being embedded dev and all my documentation is plain ascii. This tool will prove useful for posterity. Thanks!

I am in the same boat. Running Windows 10 on a Ryzen 5 until the cows come home. I run Rocky Linux in my laptop but I am a gamer so I'll hold to Windows 10. Some Linux Distros are bringing AI. Not ready for that.
