  • AI is overhyped but it still doesn’t change the fact that it’s impact is still gonna be huge, mainly in terms of how productive a single human can be.

    AI on its own is still too dumb even with all the new improvements like huge contexts reaching millions and mixture of experts,etc. but they can be of tremendous help as a personal assistant, especially for disabled people. The fact that it can understand natural speech very well and act accordingly is a major breakthrough.

    I also discovered that AI that have access to internet and do a search for what you’re asking them tend to answer vastly better than their offline counterpart.












  • My PC with 4GB of RAM and an HDD is barely holding with linux mint. Tbf Mint isn’t the problem, it only takes 32% of ram compared to the 60+% of a debloated windows 10. It’s the other apps. Running a browser along anything else and Linux mint starts to struggle, even the built-in apps like the file manager and the text editor feel like they’re gonna crash the computer at any moment because of the random freezing/ delays.

    My advice would be to try upgrading to 4GB and installing an SSD. Your old computer will likely only support SATA SSDs, which have a max speed of 500MB/s, but it’s far better than the 30MB/s at best that the HDD disks give.
