Installing Ubuntu Artful Aardvark

Today after installing the latest Ubuntu Mate 17.04 Zesty Zepus on my laptop I tried upgrading it to the development branch with the following command:

do-release-upgrade -d

A few bugs on the way:

Processing triggers for menu (2.1.47ubuntu1) …
Processing triggers for libvlc-bin:amd64 (2.2.5-4) …
Processing triggers for shim-signed (1.29+0.9+1474479173.6c180c6-1ubuntu1) …
find: ‘/var/lib/dkms’: No such file or directory
No DKMS packages installed: not changing Secure Boot validation state.

Searching for obsolete software
Reading package lists… Done

I fixed this error with the following command:

    •    sudo apt-get install dkms

  • The result was pretty impressive, the next ubuntu release 17.10 will be called Ubuntu Artful Aardvark (development branch)

Here you can see it’s using only 776mb right after boot.
raony@darwin:~$ lsb_release -a
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu Artful Aardvark (development branch)
Release: 17.10
Codename: artful
raony@darwin:~$ uname -a
Linux darwin 4.10.0-20-generic #22-Ubuntu SMP Thu Apr 20 09:22:42 UTC 2017 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Pretty cool to use this system I should say! Now let’s try to add some packages for bioinformatics…

 

Why You’re Biased About Being Biased

Scientists have uncovered more than 50 biases that, like this one, can mess with our thinking. For instance, there’s the “availability heuristic,” which makes us think something that’s easy to recall (because it’s emotional or because we’ve experienced it many times) is more common or probable than it really is. (Despite what you might think from watching CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, the world isn’t full of serial killers.) There’s also the “distinction bias,” which makes two options seem more different when considered simultaneously; the “denomination effect,” which makes us more likely to spend money when it’s in small bills or coins; and the “Dunning-Kruger effect,” which makes experts underestimate their abilities and laypeople overestimate theirs.
