Exploring the Pros and Cons of Linux on Apple Silicon Devices

As Apple continues to move away from Intel’s x86 processors and move towards its own ARM-based “Apple Silicon”, many developers are eagerly awaiting the day when Linux will be fully supported on their machines.

Respecting Disability: Navigating Appropriate Language and Mutual Understanding

In recent years, there has been a growing trend of people advocating for certain language changes in order to be more sensitive to those with disabilities. While well-intentioned, this language can often seem patronizing and condescending, not to mention completely unnecessary.

Unlocking the Potential of OpenAI's ChatGPT Model: Leveraging Microsoft and Outmaneuvering Competitors

OpenAI has recently released their ChatGPT model, a language model that is 10 times cheaper than their existing GPT-3.5 models.

As OpenAI receives GPUs at cost or subsidized prices from Microsoft, they can use them to train and run the ChatGPT model efficiently with minimal costs. Furthermore, they can also offer fine-tuning services to customers who want to use the model with sensitive data and charge them accordingly for this service.
