Solar and AC is a great combo. Almost by definition, when you need AC you know the sun is shining and so the energy to run the AC is therefore free

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

Hi-viz, you say?

One reason I’d like to see Germany held to account is their long-term efforts to push the interests of their car industry, even as it filled the world with overly polluting (and, recently, increasingly over-sized) vehicles

I can’t remember who said it, but somebody once framed this as “You can make a place easy to drive around or you can make it worth visiting, but you can’t do both”

I loved this game! I’ll never forget the time I came back from certain defeat when we suddenly passed a pub in northern England called something like “The Batley Marching Band”

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

Oh, this looks good! Thanks

Every metric? What about the poor shareholders in oil companies? Have you no empathy for them at all, you monster?

That’s whatever browser or app you’re using. It rendered as © for me… Bracket, c, bracket

Oh my god can we please stop describing every piece of software as AI

There’s a danger this headline is misleading. James Parkinson identified the disease over 200 years ago, so whatever it is can clearly happen without pesticides. Perhaps they make it more prevalent? But that’s very different from saying that a recent invention makes a very old disease “man’made”

Not quite. It’s more an “average sentence generator” - which is one reason to be skeptical: written text will tend to get more average and bland over time

This is how an LLM will always work. It doesn’t understand anything - it just predicts the next word based on the words so far, learned from reading loads of text. There is no “knowledge” in there, so stop asking these things questions and expecting useful answers

This country’s full of basic pricks, and that graph proves it

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

The last one might be punchier as “I wouldn’t be driving in front of you if…”

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
