Jeff.Pro is so revenant! I am way behind, I haven’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. It’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!

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. It’s true. Windows is slowly, ever so slowly, losing market share to Linux on the desktop and laptops. And it’s about time. On the server-side of the Internet, Linux is so far ahead, Windows will never catch up.

The most important reason you should be using Linux at home
Linux is the Burger King of operating systems. Its customizability is unmatched. But there is a more urgent reason that everyone should consider using it.

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?

Reflecting on yesterday’s poll results, a PRO TIP: when discussing artificial intelligence, learn to use the term “stochastic parrot.” 🤣
As correctly determined by the majority who answered yesterday’s poll, recent excitement in the press about “artificial inteligence” is focused on a technology known as “large language models” (“LLM”)’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 LLM’s as “stochastic parrots” while observing the technology amounts to “systems 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.” Therefore, LLM’s do not “think” 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 “artificial intelligence”, now you can confidently wield the terms “Large Language Models” and “stochastic parrots” to quickly bring them back to reality by shining truth on where the “AI” 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 🦜
