It can also be used to manually harden fedora 39, which I think is great as well!

From any other company who runs a social media company with a spam problem, I’d say this is an interesting solution. You can identify some bots and sock-puppet accounts by PCI. For Musk’s twitter, I’m not exactly trusting it, it feels like enshittification is in full swing.

I wonder how this will affect diversity of opinion on twitter, since I feel those already critical of twitter won’t be as likely to spend a dollar

And I’m a little skeptical that this will dissuade botting, since 1$ is nothing

That is a good thing and a bad thing. Self diagnosis will inevitably end with misdiagnosis.

I think AI has the potential to increase the amount of patients seen, and maybe even decrease cost, but in the enshittified American system I’m willing to bet it would not be close to the best outcome

I’m not an expert at ML or cardiology, but I was able to create models that could detect heart arrhythmias with upwards of 90% accuracy, higher accuracy than a cardiologist, and do so much faster.

Do I think AI can replace doctors? No. The amount of data needed to train a model is immense (granted I only had access to public sets), and detecting rarer conditions was not feasible. While AI will beat cardiologists in this one aspect, making predictions is not the only thing a cardiologist does.

But I think positioning AI as a tool to assist in triage, and to provide second opinions could be a massive boon for the industry.

Manjaro is a great way for a new linux user to inevitably break their install and have no idea how they did it, then never figure out how to fix it, while breaking it more while trying.

I’ve never installed it, but I know a few people who used it as their first distro, and none of them recommend it, or other arch based distros, and especially not to new users. For the above reason.

Regular arch is better, but I’d only recommend it if you are interested in becoming a power user.

I have been using fedora for a while now, and it has been surprisingly stable and functional out of the box. I’ve only broken my install once in the past two years, and that’s been because I do a lot of power user things. As for new linux users, I’ve recommended it to a few friends who were starting out, and they’ve had great success with it.

OpenSUSE Tumbleweed is another distro that might be good if you want something that just works while being rolling release. I’ve tried it out alongside OpenSUSE Leap and Fedora, but ended up preferring Fedora.

Debian was my first distro, and I’ve enjoyed using it. I used this extensively before I was much of a power user with great success, and I’ve heard many people say great things about debian 12.

Latex is what made switching to linux possible for me during college. I had multiple lab classes that required their own very specific formatting. One of them required latex, and I was the only person who ended up learning latex in my lab group. Between that semester and the next one, I installed linux and used latex exclusively for all my reports, and I can certainly say that my papers actually looked good. I spent no time on formatting after the first lab report when I made my template.

Why not make that day today? Ssh is incredibly powerful, and for most use cases, really simple. Remotely managing the pi is certainly better than plugging it into a monitor

While this article has been hilarious, I really wish it was more than just opportunistic talk from a corporation that likely only cares about this because it makes it harder for them to produce oracle linux. I mean, after all, Oracle believes that APIs are proprietary and hates interoperability.
