learning linux

i've always wanted to learn linux for years. but i'm still stuck with this crappy w!ndows v!sta - yes, v!sta. the crappiest of them all. and now that i have some time and a spare laptop to use, i managed to install ubuntu studio . why ubuntu studio? i just got fascinated with the programs it came with. the first thing i checked was if i could go online, wireless that is. sad to say, the browser couldn't fetch anything. fortunately, getting the laptop wired got me online. and that's one less trouble for me. now, the problem at hand is that there is no wireless connection. solution - search the web. i landed on ubuntuforums.com and found out that ubuntu studio doesn't install the gnome network manager which is like the "view available networks" on xp and "connect to a network" on v!sta. so, lets just install it. i mean, lets try to install it. next: installing a program in linux

Understanding Prompt Engineering Using First-Principles Thinking

Instead of memorizing prompt techniques, let’s break Prompt Engineering down to its fundamentals using First-Principles Thinking (FPT) . Step 1: What is Communication? At its core, communication is the process of: Encoding thoughts into words (speaker). Transmitting words to a receiver. Decoding the words into meaning (listener). Now, let’s apply this to AI. Step 2: How Do Machines Process Language? A Large Language Model (LLM) doesn’t "understand" words the way humans do. Instead, it: Converts words into tokens (mathematical representations). Predicts the next word based on probability. Generates responses that appear coherent based on patterns it has learned. Thus, prompt engineering is not just about writing sentences—it’s about giving instructions that optimize LLM prediction behavior . Step 3: What is a Prompt? A prompt is just an input instruction that guides an LLM’s response. But at the most basic level, a prompt must contain three thin...

Understanding the Economic Implications of Artificial Intelligence

The use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is increasing in the modern economy, and it is having a huge impact on our daily lives. While AI offers many benefits, it also has some economic implications that the average middle income person should understand.  First, AI has the potential to automate many jobs. This means that some people may find themselves out of work as their jobs are replaced by machines. This could have a detrimental effect on the economy as a whole, as fewer people are employed and more money is taken out of circulation. Additionally, AI could also lead to greater inequality in our society, as those with higher levels of education and skill may benefit more from automation than those with lower levels of education and skill. Second, AI can also create new markets and opportunities for businesses. Companies are using AI to develop new products and services, and this can lead to increased profits and growth. AI can also be used to increase efficiency in production pr...
