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?
Anonymous Poll

They guess answers and sometimes get lucky
84%
LLM's use math such as statistics and averages with big data sets to simulate intelligence

LLM's are actually intelligent and capable of real thought

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

Anyone remember these?

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?

PRAYER

Dear God, our hearts overflow with gratitude for Your immense love and the way you heal us time and time again. We are blessed beyond measure to stand before you as your cherished children.

Father, lead us as we walk in the way of Jesus, filled with His love and mercy. Let Your light shine through us, awakening all we meet. Grant us the right words and knowledge to transform hearts once closed, that former foes may find friendship in You through us. Help us heal the lost; that together we may free souls enthralled by darkness, that they may see Your truth and be drawn near to You.

We pray for a divine revolution of hope to take the place of fear, sweeping across every nation and people. May those oppressed for righteous political and spiritual views be granted courage and justice; may those who cling to stubbornness as a shield against the sometimes frightening realities of life be freed from fear, and opened to discovery; that they should be granted the opportunity for the heaing and growth that comes from embracing the truth.

As we embark on this week's journey, your strength and vigor sustain us. Give us wisdom, courage and glimpses of glory to illumine the path before us. We pray for openings of understanding, and softened, receptive hearts. Lead us ever deeper into Your Truth as we lift high Your sacred name. For the glory and grace of God shall be for all to witness.

In Jesus' holy name we pray. Amen.

โ€œGates Behind Barsโ€, a powerful song and music video about the damage Bill Gates has done, and continues to do to the world. By Five Times August.

For a moment, this creative work reminds us of what 60โ€™s protest music was like, back when many liberals spoke out against corruption vs. blindly following their โ€œgovernments.โ€
