I'm a big fan of the "GPS Theory" when you miss a turn, your GPS doesn't judge you, it recalculates. No matter how many detours you take, it finds another way forward. Life works like that too. You'll make mistakes, but your destination doesn't vanish. The route just changes.

@wildcat_of @capt_ACAB @KYRA_RISING No problem! A fun tidbit for you: Two LLM models from MSFT and Anthropic go through major companies’ code and try to exploit holes in their software so they can patch them. Mythos, Anthropic’s LLM, found over 400 holes in Firefox and Microsoft’s work. Fascinating stuff.

@aplusinflux @capt_ACAB @KYRA_RISING I don’t know anything about cybersecurity, but as a researcher who also understands a great deal about data cleanliness, i can tell you that you’ve been duped if you think AI does anything but muddy data & slow down research

IT’S POPPING. THIS IS NOT A DRILL, IT’S ACTUALLY POPPING

@EliskorSakura @capt_ACAB @KYRA_RISING Sadly, all this is very true. 😥

@aplusinflux @capt_ACAB @KYRA_RISING This is what I'd like AI to be used for. The things you listed. If it can make things safer or help doctors detect cancer and other illnesses/diseases sooner, then why not? It can help, but it's not been implemented that way yet sadly.

@capt_ACAB @KYRA_RISING No worries :) it’s easy to get triggered, especially by something that just seems to gut the economy so much for the average worker and creator. It’s frustrating no doubt.

@aplusinflux @KYRA_RISING Apologies, I get heated. I will admit it does have potential uses for some small niche uses but the generative stuff is straight up useless. I hope you're right, and sooner rather than later.

@RealTaySensei @KYRA_RISING Exactly. 👍🏻

@aplusinflux @KYRA_RISING The dot com bubble popped a long time ago but people still use .com websites. Just cause it’s not gonna magically vanish doesnt mean it’s not a bubble

Do not install VLC. Once you install it, you can never go back. You will never pay 99 cents for a codec again. You will never buy QuickTime Pro again. You will never renew RealPlayer Plus again. You will never pay for Blu-ray decoder software again. You will never see the words "this file format is not supported" again. You will become the family tech support person. Forever. Your dad will call you at 11 PM because he downloaded a .mkv from somewhere and Windows refuses to open it. Your answer will always be the same. "Install VLC." And then the orange traffic cone will eat his problem in 4 seconds and he will call you a genius. You did not do that. A French student named Jean-Baptiste Kempf did, in 1996, as a school project at École Centrale Paris. His roommate brought a traffic cone home from the street that year. They made it the logo. 6 billion downloads later, the cone is still undefeated. Repo: github.com/videolan/vlc. 18,463 stars. GPL-2.0. Pushed today. Here is the wildest part: The warning is real. Just not for you. Apple sold QuickTime Pro for $29.99. VLC killed it. Apple shut it down in 2016. Microsoft sold Windows Media Center for $9.99. VLC killed it. Microsoft shut it down with Windows 10. RealNetworks charged $39.99 a year for RealPlayer Plus. VLC killed it. Sony built Blu-ray to need a $79.99 licensed decoder. VLC ships with libdvdcss and a French court ruling that protects it. The codec mafia spent 30 years building a tollbooth on every video file on Earth. A guy whose GitHub location is literally "Coneland" walked through every tollbooth with a cone on his head and never paid a cent. He was offered millions of dollars to sell it. He said no. So yes. Do not install VLC. The codec industry has not recovered from the last 6 billion people who did. 100% Opensource. 100% Free. 100% Yours. The biggest media companies on Earth spent three decades trying to charge you to play your own files. One French student and a cone he found on the street made all of it pointless.

@capt_ACAB @KYRA_RISING :) no need to say rude words. It does have usefulness—cybersecurity, medicine research, data cleanliness, agentic AI—it is growing. I digress though: AI’s bubble is too huge and eventually will fall on itself.

@aplusinflux @KYRA_RISING It offers little to no benefit you fucking dunce. It's literally all hot air with a bunch of tech bro's that have dumped billions into it keep jerking each other off in a desperate attempt to somehow *will* it into being anything but a colossal failure

@Menorenthe8th @KYRA_RISING Agreed. :)

@aplusinflux @KYRA_RISING Oh of course, when it pops it certainly won’t go away, but would be used in areas it’s actually suited for, like statistics. Identification, or data management

@DrBradleyMexico @KYRA_RISING Oh of course! Hard to put what I need to in 160 chars—AI’s spending is out of control and will cause a problem. Just my point is it does have usefulness in stats, medical field, engineering, cybersecurity, and science. AI has usefulness—just needs a course correct.

@aplusinflux @KYRA_RISING Well duh. When the dotcom bubble popped the internet didn't go away, but people last a fuckton of money investing in the internet. AI isn't likely to go away but this reckless spending and feverish money flow is bound to pop

@krishdotdev Much better to be a project manager, solutions architect, or designer right now. Especially with agentic AI starting to take the ropes.

@Pallavi_345 Decrapify it :) Winhance is the best tool I’ve ever used for this. Signed, A Windows fanboy who knows better ;)

I’m a Linux user Just installed Windows for the first time… What do I do next?

@_Aria_2210 36. 6 squared is 36, which it needs to be six for the equation to equal 10. X = 36.

Only 0.0005% can guess the Answer. Are you the one??

@johncatman1963 Thanks!

@aplusinflux You are fucking hot bro

@ActualJt @Rainmaker1973 Even Rocket has a soft spot! That part where Drax pet him? I melted! 🥹🥹🥹

@Rainmaker1973 lmk when they about to hit this stage of domestication

A new study has shown that Raccoons are showing early signs of domestication The University of Arkansas found that urban raccoons have smaller snouts, a sign of domestication syndrome.

@Herotrap038 Pretty!! 🤩

Se me ha actualizado el macOS y por algún motivo me ha vuelto el dock de los años 2000 (no he instalado ningún mod de dock, ha sido por la cara)

@VirtusT @yadavji_codes @CachyOS Oh for sure! I’ve dabbled in Ubuntu and Debian… even Pengwin OS within Windows with X11. And VM setup to do so. None have given me reason to dive in head-first, to be honest.

There’s no harm in trying. Maybe you will like it. I have a cachyos + windows dual boot setup. But this year, I cannot even remember when was the last time I booted windows. Great experience for me. I’m still trying other distro every now and then. I have a separate partition for that purpose. But up to now nothing has convinced me to replace cachyos as my primary or as they call it daily driver.

Tell me any os better than Arch Linux I'll wait !!!

@KatarowGadgets Microsoft needs this… truly. Leave the legacy behind and start anew.

Windows 10Xとか多分みんなもう忘れてると思う

@VirtusT @yadavji_codes @CachyOS Proving the same point—no idea this existed until literally today. Linux is just too fragmented to know where to even start. Especially with multiple tech folks recommending so many options.

@aplusinflux @yadavji_codes Thats why @CachyOS exists
