He is cross checking

ChatGPT hallucinations inspire me to search for real references. It teaches we cannot blindly trust on things that are said. Teachers will commonly reinforce they are correct.

He didn't just sell books, he got signed by editors who published him worldwide. That's what I'm talking about. He was 'chosen' by the market.

Honestly, copyright is shit. It is created on the basis of an old way of doing things. That is, where big editors and big studios make mass productions of physical copies of a said 'product'. George R. R. Martin , Warner Studios & co are rich. Maybe they have everything to lose without their copy'right' but that isn't the population's problem. We live in an era where everything is digital and easily copiable and we might as well start acting like it.

I don't care if Sam Altman is evil, this discussion is fundamental.

When I first learned about it, it kind of seems like school bullying or something criminal. "Give me 50000 if you want to keep operating". It's kind of funny, but it is also kind of sad. Anyway, the decision has it geopolitical importance.

I have no access to the article, but it seems like we're one step closer to the Philosopher's Stone.

Maybe we just need a different type of NLP to work with summarization. I have noticed before LLMs are unlikely to escape their 'base' knowledge.

I think it's interesting to see something related to the magic posted in the other article. What it's all about. Also, the paper isn't that complex to read. It goes through talking about quantum simulations (probably through Qiskit) and the differences between magical schemas and ordinary ones. I think it's interesting to see what it's all about.

Scientific communicators try to be didactic about Science but always miss the mark on what's really going on, especially in Quantum Mechanics. Sadly, we don't see the same enthusiasm from these people for other areas of Physics - the classical.

If you're going to write "self-help" books on a scientific topic, might as well go all the way.

What I mean is, this paper is a fun read. Someone that has a grasp about computers will understand and appreciate.

ElasticSearch is the most studied academically database search. This is enough to be happy with this reality. If we are to open new FOSS alternatives, it goes through ElasticSearch, if we are to depend on academic science.

Interesting article. Gives me some light on what Microsoft wants with open source code.

I'm sorry, but it's a private messaging app! Not even the owners are supposed to know what is going on in the chats. It's not a moderation situation - I don't know if he rejected a request to ban accounts, but it isn't how things are supposed to be.

And some people think Brazil is being extreme on putting fines for X (Twitter) to pay for not blocking some accounts.

This guy is accused of being accomplice to crime just for creating and maintaining the platform where criminals do their dealings.

The road is downhill, my friends.

For most cases, you need to use the package manager (apt is the standard for Debian-based) . You also need 'grep' to select a specific phrase sometimes.

But that problem normally occur when you are using proprietary software. You'll need to download packages (wget), add repository packages and run shell scripts for most proprietary software, and I think most people would use copy-paste in those scenarios.

Ask ChatGPT. 3.5 should know it. I know I could install FreeBSD because of it.

Windows literally makes an effort to break Linux distros installed alongside it.

Wow. Locking up a Cloud really is ransomware when you look at it like that.

That's a marketing problem, not a functionality problem. The terminal isn't really hard to use.

People used BASIC easily back in the 80's. My mom did it back then, and she isn't tech savvy.

If you want to run Spotify, Linux really isn't your thing. Now, aside from Autodesk (I'm not an engineer, but I think FreeCAD doesn't come close), you can easily use Linux to work. It is much better for programming also. Windows puts so many proprietary barriers into programming that you actually need a minor version of GNU (MinGW) to make C++ work. Want to program something on C#? You should have this proprietary Visual Studio. Wants something for Android? You will need proprietary Android Studio.

The environment is just different. Every thing is built around people expecting to make money out of proprietary software. That's Windows. It's built by proprietary for proprietary. It encourages people to put absurd licenses into the most minor of works. "Wants to automatically lowercase a text? Hey, you should be profiting out of that!". "Wants to automatically copy and paste a text to many boxes? Oh my, you should be profitting out of that, clearly!".

It's another environment. Don't compare Windows as if it were more convenient because for programmers, and for ordinary people in many cases, it certainly isn't.

That said, I agree that Office 365 is a flagship, but maybe that flagship is sinking.

If you want to push material that completely contradicts morals (respect for privacy and free speech, for example), maybe you need this kind of people. They'll just say they don't give a f*** right to your face. Not that Bill Gates or Larry Page are any different, the times just changed. Do you really believe Bill Gates is that intelligent God among men? Because I don't.

I'm not sure, but clearly something happens on the background, as my Debian drive broke after I changed it back and forth for the Windows drive. Grub fell back to rescue mode. After following some instructions and trying to boot from grub command line, Debian wouldn't boot after it recognized the mouse. That's what I know. Even in different drives, something happens on the PC when you go back and forth with Windows and Linux.
