Thanks but why would you say it's superior to GPTo1?

Thanks for sharing, but it seems I don't have an idea of what I'd enjoy programming for yet. I'm looking to get into Data Science as a new career so it's more complicated to learn it in a fun mode ๐Ÿ™‚

I'm looking to get my first subscription of a machine learning model and I've been using POE for a while but I'm not sure if paying for it would be better than paying for a GPT subscription. I almost never use them to generate images, mostly for help with my business and some programming.

I also want my wife to be able to use the same account when I start paying for it.

I'm not sure what the benefits of each are and which would outweigh.

Thanks a lot, great advice! Anything else you'd recommend apart from W3schools?

I've researched the topic and I understand that the general advice is that it's best to learn on your own. However, I'd like to see Lemmy's recommendations regarding websites where you can book programming (Python/R) sessions with a personal tutor online, ideally if you have used the service yourself. I mostly need it to maintain my motivation and learn regularly instead of sporadically.

Never met an American who wants to "talk about work" out here. They all prefer to keep their free time work-discussion free.

All I asked for was specific examples

So what exactly would you propose he should do?

Goes to show that most people aren't ready to be parents and need a good hard look at their life before getting into that, as well as at least some sort of parenting education.

Do you know how to make the fingerprint reader work on my newly purchased Carbon X1 Gen 6 with Ubuntu on it? I've gone to great lengths to make it work but still haven't found a solution

What's the easiest way to update bios on my Ubuntu laptop without a USB? (lemm.ee)
 

cross-posted from: https://lemm.ee/post/41741300

As a lifelong Windows user I've just for the first time switched to Ubuntu and I'm learning how to navigate the system but I haven't found an easy way to update my Carbon's X1 Gen 6 BIOS from its hard disk and would appreciate any advice.

I'd be also happy to hear what I should do as a newcomer to Ubuntu to make my experience with it better and have an easier time overall.

Help needed making voice typing work in Ubuntu (lemm.ee)
 

I've just recently transitioned from Windows to Linux as a lifelong user and I can't for the life of me find a way to type with my voice. Ive tried some scripts and apps but I couldn't make it work after trying for a few days straight.

I mostly need it in Firefox but it'd be nice to have it systemwide.

I'm using ThinkPad Carbon X1 Gen 6 so Whisper AI is out of question as it requires a graphics card.

What could you recommend?

Suggestions on a decent place to learn Data Science from a tutor online? (lemm.ee)
 

Looking to develop my Data skills in all respects, especially programming (I'm at the beginner stage) with an IT coach/tutor online. I know of MentorCruise and the few well-known tutoring services but wanted to also check here with the popular wisdom ๐Ÿ™‚

I know learning on your own is the go-to recommendation but I'm specifically interested in learn with a mentor. Would appreciate any advice!

Web discovery websites/apps similar to Cloudhiker? (lemm.ee)
 

What services have you enjoyed using that are similar to cloudhiker.net, a place to find random interesting sites?

I'm looking for something that's regularly updated.

What's currently the 'smartest' language model? (lemm.ee)
 

Looking for an "AI" that would tackle my day-to-day issues that are not related to programming, for example acting as a personal assistant / life coach, creating lesson plans for classes I teach at school, explaining how things work and teaching me new skills effectively, etc.

I need it to be able to consider web search options for more comprehensive answers.

Doesn't have to be free, as I'd be happy to pay if it's truly worth it.

So far I've tried:

  1. Most common options at Poe, including Claude Sonnet 3.5, GPT4o and others. The issue here is that I'm not seeing which one is actually smarter and which one hallucinates more.
  2. Perplexity
  3. Phind
  4. Gemini
  5. Bing AI

I have never had a GPT4 subscription so I might consider that if it's objectively the best option.

What can you recommend? ๐Ÿ™‚

Advice needed on buying a personal boat (lemm.ee)
 

I've never owned a boat in my life and now that I live near the sea I would love to own a small boat to travel along the coast from one city to another.

I have no experience with boats so that's why I would love to hear some advice if you have any.

Would you recommend a used one or a new one?

And should I get a sailing boat or a motorboat and what type would you recommend? I don't think I'll have enough means to get a boat with a room inside, unless it's relatively cheap.

And is learning how to navigate a sailing boat a long process?
