There’s a whole section on social media. That’s where they discuss Mastodon and W, among others

JESUS FUCKING CHRIST CHATBOTS DON’T KNOW ANYTHING. STOP ASKING THEM QUESTIONS AND THINKING THEIR ANSWERS ARE ANYTHING MORE THAN WORD ASSOCIATION BASED ON THINGS PEOPLE HAVE WRITTEN IN THE PAST for fuck’s sake

“Prove you’re a bot by failing to click all the motorcycles in this image”

Motion is also really useful for capturing security camera footage. It’s more specialised for this task than ffmpeg so could work here

Cue 8 paragraphs of “I first learned to cook potatoes with my grandfather back in…” and every reader screaming “Oh my god just get to the recipe…”

You’re right. I could believe these data might be explained by a lot of businesses being in a “wait and see” phase, hiring conservatively while they see how the AI thing shakes out

This is a good point, but the issue is that vendors have abused this need by not just pushing security updates, but also regular rewrites that make the products more invasive/full of language model shit - Exhibit A being anything at all from Microsoft

The same way a layperson knows how to get any medical intervention: taking the advice of a reputable qualified professional

For context, UK domestic energy suppliers don’t actually do any generation or distribution - they just retail electricity produced and distributed by others. So they can buy wholesale energy and attempt to compete on price, customer service, or other innovative products (eg Octopus’s dynamic pricing).

Normally I’d expect Tesla to do an Uber-style approach of subsiding the prices for the first couple of years to try to capture market share, as well as the more obvious vertical integration with their cars. But in this market, switching suppliers is too easy to make that worthwhile

Yep. I’m using a used ThinkPad X1 Carbon. 8 years old and running Linux like a dream

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

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

Or an Office 365 Group

These authors (and my work is in there) did not write so that Mark Zuckerberg could steal our work and profit from it

Psions were amazing. I had a Psion 3 in the 90s. That thing fell out of my pocket when I was cycling and a van drove over it - still worked fine. I’d like to see an iPhone manage that
