    Do you use Linux? Which distribution (s)?

    Ubuntu. I have dual boot but for a couple of years I mainly just use Linux - 99% of the time.
    I used to use Debian, which I liked very much. But with the fast changes in technology Ubuntu was upgrading faster so I decided to switch once they started using Unity as default.
    I used Debian mainly for the university and Windows at home. After I switched to Ubuntu it's been months since I used Windows.

    What about you James Nelson?

    Me too, I like Debian and Arch, but Ubuntu is stable, fast and updated frequently. It also supports almost all hardware or of the box. I do have to tweak the ui. Been in love with compiz 3d desktop since the beginning.

    Um, shouldn't that be Choosing a POSIXy distro?
    There are a lot of other kernels listed.
    Still, I got Fedora, which I do use, and I can see why that is next to RHEL and sort of why it is near Solaris.

    I still occasionally use my last Mandrake bootable cd.  Something about the way the permissions are structured in that build of KDE has allowed me to access disks on damaged or password bereft computers and, uh, recover data. 

    I am amazed at the confused folk who still claim that *nix is only for "hobbyists".  Ignoring the fact that the entire internet runs on *nix.  Ignoring the fact that underneath all of the annoying garbage, Mac is *nix.  Ignoring the fact that a lot of us have used it professionally for two decades or so.  I guess they just hate the idea that they have wasted so much money.

Exactly!

Exactly! Since I got my Note 10.1 end of last year I don't use notebooks, diaries, agendas nor do I print .pdfs anymore =) It feels so clean and organized not having loads of paper on your desk and always being able to access all of your notes and files everywhere.. ;) Give it a try! I'm also not buying printed books anymore, we already carry lots of things with us in our homes, imagine the space and trees you would save if all of your books were digital.. I can see a much more spacious house!

#artificialintelligence   Originally shared by Gideon Rosenblatt Knowledge and Artificial Intelligence I just hit the publish button on this one, and I think it may be one of my better articles in a while. It's an attempt at a bigger perspective on what's happening with things like Deep Learning (and other forms of machine learning and artificial intelligence), as well as Google's Knowledge Graph and even its "Knowledge Vault ." In this piece, I try to explain how these new technologies fit together. I also try to show how  these latest breakthroughs are still part of a long arch in human history, a continuation of our efforts to pull tacit knowledge from the biology of our minds and bodies and embed it as explicit knowledge into a new container.  I hope you enjoy this one. I enjoyed writing it.  #knowledge   #knowledgegraph   #artificialintelligence   #knowledgevault   People I believe might be interested in this one because of past comments or posts: D...

The VERY BEST short essay I have read for a long time.

Originally shared by Denis Poussart The VERY BEST short essay I have read for a long time. Succeeds in bringing to the forefront the uniqueness on embodiment, which no machine will ever be able to achieve, and how it is highly connected to what we call "consciousness". Animal intelligence, human in particular, is able to navigate - usually well - in the huge complexity of the non-ergodic reality. This is so because the brain is not just a powerful computing box (like a computer with a millions GPU's), it is part of a bio-system which integrate hugely different sensing and acting components, seamlessly. And this system is futher enhanced by societal & cultural interactions, Although it is not stated here explicitly, it turns out that this extraordinary complex assembly of molecules, organized as an effective intertwine of prior (DNA encoded) networks and learned fusions and behaviours IS a simplified model of the world around us, close enough that it is generally able ...
