Depends, apple & linux are toe to toe in the research world.

It’s so portable! With maximal efforts we support both windows 7, windows 8.1 (but not 8.0), windiws 10 and soon Windows 11 !!!

It’s not like you can’t switch back one day if you feel the need.

Good luck on you finding a job compatible with your life!

Sure, but that will evolve. We’ll have better AI five ten years from now.

Yes. I didn’t say you should learn while dead 😋.

My postulate was that an AI will not die, and eventually just learn more and more (or get better tuned). It can just function forever in theory.

We mere humans first spend many years learning to read and write, and so on, from 6 to 26 or more. Then we get a job and learn all the time, the welder gets better at welding, the doctor better at diagnosing and so on.

But then we humans grow old gets dementia and dies and society loses all that usefulness. If the society needs a new welder, we have to train someone to read, write, and eventually weld. They will get better at it until they die too. And so on.

An “AI welder” (or doctor or whatever) that is bad but “learns” over the years and softwate updates doesn’t go away suddenly, and can learn indefinitely, becoming extremely good at what it does, because it’s not resetted every 70 years or so.

You still have to teach and learn.

When you die, that knowledge has to be re-learned by someone else, taking maybe tens of years.

On the other hand, the human will grow old and the hard learned information will die with him.

Computers? The software will be there forever.

Now, that IP should be FOSS of course.

Watch out, you might trigger the AI haters.

Here’s one:

Atmospheric perspective:

Close up we see all colours at full saturation (if they are vivid of course), but the farther away we go, colors drop out, lightens and becomes less detailed and more blurry.

The order of dropping out is: first the yellows, then the reds and eventually the blues.

You might get a headache if you just try to do that like winging it, so I’d recommend some old landscape painting for potential colors, values & saturations.

How much are they worth nowadays on the used market?

I’m lucky I upgraded both my PCs to 32GB (ddr4) so I don’t really care but I’m a tiny bit curious :-)

But what if I need it later on?

I get no sound on this one?

So the great filter isn’t scarcity …

Windows

BTW I dream of staying in Mint. Naah.

Thanks ❤️!

Thank you 💕 !

I was forced to learn some of it at work (using and signing medical payment transactions, with x509 certificates) so I have ar least a starting point. I have no idea how the revoke process works though, I can’t figure out a way that it functions without a central authority getting queried regularly. I thonk I can start without that knowledge though.

Anyway, with your information I’m up and running, thank you again!

“Derived certificates” not child certs, noted !

I guess it is to not bring the whole pro/con AI discussion here?

Some artists I know use generative AI to get a baseline image that they then paint, I think it’s okay for learning (the light/color is obviously off, but it can help with figuring out composition for example) but I wouldn’t use it for an artwork even slightly.

Thank you 💕!!

Thank you! I’m really into the nose at the moment so thank you again 💕!

It’s probably a fear of some sort, I explained a bit on another post by higgsboson just below.
