ChatGPT is getting less market share.
About a year ago, ChatGPT became the market standard for generative AI, which sounds like one choice. Even a lot of times, we said, “Ask ChatGPT,” “ChatGPT it.” However, after a year, the AI landscape has changed significantly. There are some rivals from China, such as Deepseek and Qwen. Gemini and Grok are attracting more users. Personally, I used Gemini a lot; their free version got better image generation results than ChatGPT. Moreover, Germini provided more free quotes. In the past, I used ChatGPT to generate code. However, I switched to using ClaudeCode; they are much more powerful than ChatGPT. No doubts, I read on Reddit that ChatGPT is further down to 64% in web traffic. IT world is changing very quickly. 20 Years ago, Microsoft dominated the IT world, then Google, Facebook, Apple, what is the next one?
Nowaday, Computer is not cheap
I need to do the machine learning. Therefore, I need to use Nvidia RTX card. Moreover, if you have something good, that is 14 th i9, and DDR5 64 to 128GB RAM. Because the CPU and graphical card, that is required a good cooling system. I need to Good Graphical Card, CPU and RAM. That required about AUD $5000. That is not easy..... I am thinking ASUS ROG NUC, that may be a better solution with lower price
Back up, Back Up, Back Up!
Recently, I have received the help requests from a number of friends regarding the data recovery. Some of them are wipe all of phone data by accident. Some of them lost some of data due with the data store failures. There is no easy solution to recover the data. Thus, please back up your data. My photo will back up automatically to my NAS via an app. Moreover, all of my important will be sync with my NAS too. I got some super important even having a cloud back up. In addition, I won't be just use the NAS as the backup storage. I still got some external hard disks to backup nas too. I got at least two back up copy of my data, and my NAS is running with two hard disks in the mirror mode. So, Back Up, Back Up, Back Up
Moblie App vs Web App
We got Angular, React, Vue.js. Those typescript UI frameworks can provide a rich user experience to the user in a mobile web interface. Do we need to build Mobile App?
Yes! In some situations, that is the truth. For example, if you do not have any native functions from a mobile phone, such as GPS and notifications, you do not need to build any mobile app. Moreover, you spend the time to publish your app in the app store or play store. The users do not need to download the app. You only need to give the URL to your users.
However, if your app is required to access the native features a lot, such as GPS, camera, and notification, I suggest you build a mobile app. The mobile app is better to handle those functions. If you want to have some background tasks in your app, the native app is better in this area too!
Thus, whether you should build a mobile app, that depends on what you want.
NAS need to be in the same switch with your main computer
NAS is the central storage of all your data. For myself, my computer will back up all of my documents, source codes and photo to my NAS automatically. So, this is a heavy load in the local network. That is the reason of all NAS with ethernet only, no wifi at all. Everyone want to get a connection to the NAS as fast as possible and as stable as possible. For myself, because other family are using the network too, So, I put my NAS in a separated switch with all of my devices which is required the back up service to there. Firstly, the heavy work load in the network won't affect the other part of my home work. Also, I can get the fastest and most stable connection to the NAS too.
