Jeff.Pro is so revenant! I am way behind, I havenโ€™t started switching over my old OS yet but I follow this channel faithfully. Due to a hospitalized family member I signed up for a bookkeeping course to help manage his affairs. Itโ€™s an excellent program. Due to the recent burst of AI, the founder just recommended getting familiar with Python & SQL! Jeff definitely has his finger on the pulse of current events and an eye on the future!

The 2nd Generation iPod Shuffle was released in 2006. It seemed amazing, almost inconceivable to pack 1GB of music storage in such a small portable device at the time.

17 years ago. Already. Anyone remember these?

PRAYER

Our Father in Heaven, please heal us and fill us with joy through Your risen Son. Only Jesus truly heals wounds and restores souls. We recognize it is only through Him that we can find truth and restoration from the lies and wounds we experience in this world that have torn us, Your children, apart.

O Loving Father, many whom we care for have been blinded by the trickery, lies and unfathomable cruelty of the evil one. We humbly ask that You grant us the ability to speak and write the right words so that an awakening may occur within them, and most important of all, that they may receive Your truth. Strengthen us to proclaim Christ's victory so all may know Him as Lord and be saved.

We pray that You will continue to speak to our hearts through Your Word, guiding us in every aspect of our lives this upcoming week, and always in to all eternity, for Your glory. Please grant us the wisdom and discernment to always follow Your will.

We ask all of this in the name of He who conquered death, our Lord Jesus Christ, Reigning with You and the Spirit as one. Amen.

A good, recent Linux article from Zdnet.

We are seeing the tides change. Itโ€™s true. Windows is slowly, ever so slowly, losing market share to Linux on the desktop and laptops. And itโ€™s about time. On the server-side of the Internet, Linux is so far ahead, Windows will never catch up.

Test Your Knowledge

This year, "artificial intelligence" gained mainstream publicity. So far, the most popular "A.I." apps consist of "Large Language Models" ("LLM")'s such as ChatGPT and Claude. How do LLM's work?

They guess answers and sometimes get lucky

Reflecting on yesterdayโ€™s poll results, a PRO TIP: when discussing artificial intelligence, learn to use the term โ€œstochastic parrot.โ€ ๐Ÿคฃ

As correctly determined by the majority who answered yesterdayโ€™s poll, recent excitement in the press about โ€œartificial inteligenceโ€ is focused on a technology known as โ€œlarge language modelsโ€ (โ€œLLMโ€)โ€™s such as ChatGPT.

Large Language Models use math such as statistics and averages with big data sets to generate outputs that attempt to follow user input prompts based on probabilities. A highly publicized 2021 research paper referred to LLMโ€™s as โ€œstochastic parrotsโ€ while observing the technology amounts to โ€œsystems for haphazardly stitching together sequences of linguistic forms it has observed in its vast training data, according to probabilistic information about how they combine, but without any reference to meaning.โ€ Therefore, LLMโ€™s do not โ€œthinkโ€ for theselves. They are probability engines trained on big (huge) dictionaries of data.

Next time you get in to a debate with a liberal about โ€œartificial intelligenceโ€, now you can confidently wield the terms โ€œLarge Language Modelsโ€ and โ€œstochastic parrotsโ€ to quickly bring them back to reality by shining truth on where the โ€œAIโ€ industry stands in its first moment of evolution. They are not expecting most conservatives to understand these concepts, but we should, as we should continue to cautiously study and map out developments in this evolving industry, being mindful of the implications. -JP ๐Ÿฆœ

Computer magazines. Anyone remember walking through the bookstore, or kiosk at an airport, grabbing one, getting lost for a while among all the stories of cool new gadgets? ๐Ÿ“•

How much longer will print magazines be around?
