I am running the latest Debian on an ASUS Vivobook. I obtained the machine at COSTCO.

AI does not learn as we do when ingesting information.

I read an article about a subject. I will forget some of it. I will misunderstand some of it. I will not understand some of it. (These two are different because in misunderstanding I think I understand but I am wrong. In simply not understanding the information I can not make heads or tails of that portion)

Later when I make use of what I may have learned these same effects will happen again to whatever it was I correctly understood.

Another, I as a natural intelligence know what I can quote, and what I should not due to copyrights, social mores, and law. AI regurgitates everything that might match regardless of source.

The third issue: The AI does not understand even with copious training data. It does not know that dogs bark, it does not have a concept of a dog.

I once wrote a more simple program that took a body of text and noted the third letter following each set of two, it built probability tables from the pair of letters + the next letter. After ingesting what little training information I was able to give it it would choose two letters at random and then generate the following letter using the statistics it had learned. It had no concept of words, much less the meaning of any words it might form.

It's not a slippery slope fallacy, if the slope is actually slippery.

I miss the days when every new machine was an experiment to see the best computing model.

Yes, I did a confuse. You are right. But Patent Trolls suck too.

And then only to the human creator who intends to bring the item to market. No more patent trolls.

Then there is the story of the guy who went several years on a grocery store loyalty card. One day he slipped and fell from a spill on the floor. When he spoke up about his injuries the store's lawyer said "We see in your loyalty record you buy a lot of alcohol, were you drunk that day?" Just a story I read- might not be true, but it could be.

I am not affiliated with them, but you can get a trigger file (Canary Token) from the people at Thinkst. I quickly looked around their site, and did not see how, but their adds say you can get them for free, without having to buy their canary hardware device.

My WiFi password is basically a "Login Banner" that forbids use without permission. It's long. https://security.tennessee.edu/login-banners/ (I was hoping for a Wikipedia article but this will do)

Thanks!

I don't know about anyone else, but, I went from Kubuntu to Debian/KDE because I don't like seeing all the Snap-fake hard drives in lsblk.

That does not mean Windows is great in a work environment, it just means the IT department can't or won't support 2 OSs (or 3 if some of your officemates are allowed to use a Mac).

Is "Betteridge’s Law Of Headlines" really about yes/no questions? The answer will confound you!

Did Governments invent GPUs anyway? I thought they were invented by companies like Nvidia, intel, ATI etc.

Isn't there a journalism rule that says the answer to any headline that asks a yes/no question is usually no?

After a session or two where I have perhaps only worked in A or B alone. I can manually trigger the shell script. Thanks for confirming tho.

The actual use case: I have an emulator that uses a directory as the 'system disk' of the computer being emulated, but I have one of these on each of two machines. As I make updates I want to have the proper files updated on the other directory so between changes on the two emulators the most recent is synced to the other directory.

It seems I will need to use 2 rsync commands, one in each direction. Update A from B, then update B from A.
