If serious, whichever one works best for you. Lots of info out there to help steer you to a good match. There are some that will have a harder time than others thanks to Microsoft domination all these years.
If not serious. Arch, of course.
So stick with my Linux and don’t boot into Windows again. Got it.
Lots of these exploits can be very specific cases so aren’t going to threaten the average user. However the point is, Windows 10 is now a huge target and there are lots who would love to take advantage of a freshly open gate.
I don’t think there’s a “right” way, people adapt to how our society functions. Proud to be part of the few at the beginning of the red line, met on Q-Link and we’re still together, so it can work. I would say “online” should be broken into separate lines, as there’s different ways to meet online, and some of them let you interact and “know” a person better than others, like dating apps (which also existed before the internet!)
Audio book is my preferred, I can’t do all the names in my head. Or Jess of the Shire’s fabulous 30 minute retelling on a whiteboard, really impressive.
Also Melkor’s chaotic role in Eru Iluvatar’s grand song.
At least there’s redundancy! Good luck trying to request recovery of the files though.
If I recall right (and it may not be right lol) it was timing as well as how many other populations there were. I think the initial discovery and research made some assumptions that what they found was the only people around and that it was a sudden disaster. Just like now we think that the dinosaurs were already suffering for various reasons and the asteroid was just a final push towards extinction over time.
There’s other recent research that counters this idea. It’s still uncertain. Humans have dipped low before, just probably not levels rivals animals like the cheetah, otherwise we’d show the same genetic issues they have due to the inbreeding of the survivors.
I don’t have a reference to it at the moment, so it’s a “trust me” scenario, but what I found then was through googling (because I used to be convinced of the bottleneck), so it’s out there.
If systems that run Linux were to power down, that’s it for almost all of the internet.
Wow, that’s one of those words/phrases that you can feel when you read it. SHIT
Feeding an input into an LLM is exactly the opposite of the rule of thumb of sanitizing your inputs. Might as well light the gasoline as you throw it.
I got a face full of web recently because I wasn’t paying attention and it was dark. Didn’t get mad, it was my fault, even said I was sorry to the spider who jumped away. But it takes a bit to get over that feeling.
And starts with “Writing a constitution for your new country is an exciting task! A constitution serves as the foundation of a nation’s government, outlining its structure, powers, and limitations, as well as the rights and freedoms of its citizens. Here’s a general outline to help you get started:”
(actual local LLM model reply)
Mine ended with “Remember to tailor your constitution to your country’s unique history, culture, and values. It is also essential to ensure that the document is clear, concise, and easily understood by the citizens it serves. Good luck!”
I think we messed that part up.
How is this surprising? We know that part of LLM training is being rewarded for finding an answer that satisfies the human. It doesn’t have to be a correct answer, it just has to be received well. This doesn’t make it better, but it makes it more marketable, and that’s all that has mattered since it took off.
As for its effect on humans, that’s why echo chambers work so well. As well as conspiracy theories. We like being right about our world view.
There were four versions that were useful for their time. Accurate.
WIndows is bloated, especially if there are updates involved. However, how old is the hard drive it’s on? Not only tech age, but perhaps there are some read errors occurring to cause rereading that you aren’t seeing because it finally works. Also, if it is a hard drive upgrading to SSD is huge as well.
Web content should always strive to be more accessible. Things like AI should be better regulated instead. I think we’ve missed the boat on a big part of that though, should have legally clamped down on activities a long time ago.
