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

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..."

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

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

America isn't Europe, but just like in Europe, most American trips are really short

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

I think people are missing the point a bit here. This work takes away an excuse for eating beef. Thanks to this work, people can no longer kid themselves that eating beef is innocuous because they bought the happy-cow version. Now they should know that eating beef means choosing between more climate emissions or more animal cruelty, but there's no guilt-free version.

It's become a mass noun, but only thanks to years of people using it wrongly. It was originally very much the plural of datum

 

I've got an older machine that I'd like to give a second life. I've always been an Ubuntu fan in the past, but checking their site for a lightweight distri it looks like they've gone all 64 bit. Is that right? Can I still get a recent version for a 32-bit processor?

 

I noticed today I was having to use fingerprint unlock every time I wanted to access my 6a, even though normally I use Smart Lock to keep my phone unlocked when it's near my Bluetooth watch. I just checked through the settings and Smart Lock has disappeared, as has on-body detection. Has this happened to anybody else?

 

Ideally for absolute beginners?
