I was questioning the use of the word “prolly”

“Prolly”

You’ll probably have more luck if you look for prescription cycling glasses - all of which should also be good for running. The market just seems to be bigger for cycling, to the extent I’ve often seen prescription glasses advertised in cycling magazines, but I can’t recall ever seeing glasses marketed at runners

Totally unrelated though, and just a coincidence. The word meme in the way we use it today was coined by Richard Dawkins in (IIRC) The Extended Phenotype. I presume it’s an abbreviation of Mental Gene, or something like that. The idea was that a meme is an idea or concept that can fight for survival amongst other ideas, just as a gene tries to survive being being a good fit to its environment

The idea of general intelligence (g) is that you’ve got some overall capacity that can be turned to any task. Human intelligence is probably much more like a big toolbox of skills, though, and I can’t see a version of computer “intelligence” that’s any different to that. I worry that people who get excited about AI are kidding themselves a bit as it isn’t going to be general - it’s going to be a toolbox at best: an LLM for writing, a totally different system for drawing, another for identifying birdsong, and and yet another for maths… And at that point you’ve not got some special interesting AGI - you’ve just reinvented the idea of apps

If AGI is made of components, you could argue that it isn’t “general”. Which would be fine, as most psychologists would say the same about human intelligence

A few years ago I’d have jokes about data ports being the same fitting as power sockets, but USB-C has ruined that

I’m guessing there were three authors on this study, based on the “human” dots

I like to say “I have exercise-induced rhinitis. That means my nose runs when I do”

It’s a very American style thing. UK English media don’t do this, and it always feels strange when I see it in US media

Thing is, a lot of these aren’t that bad? Making an oxygen mask feels really different to just setting fire to the fossil fuel to shift a 3-ton vanity pickup truck half a mile to Starbucks. And lots of the others can readily be replaced. Clothes, for example: rayon from bamboo can replace a lot of polyester and nylon

I have a OnePlus Pad 2 and it’s a brilliant tablet. The stylus is good and I use it with Obsidian and Excalidrae for notes

I’d much rather employ a 50-year-old recent graduate than a 21-year-old recent graduate. There are lots of reasons for this, not least all the extra life experience and the hard evidence of being able to make major decisions and follow through with a difficult challenge.

No employer expects a new graduate employer to stay with them more than a few years anyway, so I can’t see you’d be disadvantaged there either

I think OP was asking how do they interact with their desktop environment to get the eSIM information to the modem

An eSIM is a code number that is used to identify a phone account, and replaces a SIM card. On my phone I installed an eSIM by scanning a QR code. OP wants to know what’s the equivalent in a Linux distro, if there is one. It’s a good question, but I don’t know the answer myself

These language models don’t get the meaning of anything. They predict the next cluster of letters based on the clusters of letters that have come before. Sorry, but if it feels to you like they’re captured the meaning of something, you’re being bamboozled

There’s at least two steps before those three:

-1. Society has been built around the needs of the auto industry, locking people into car dependency

0. A legal system exists in which the people who build, sell and drive cars are not meaningfully liable when the car hurts somebody
