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

  • ‘Parkinson’s is a man-made disease’ - Pesticides may be fueling a silent epidemic, warns Dutch neurologist Bas Bloem

    Jump

  • 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"

  • Yeah, that's what I was thinking of with that final sentence

  • Tablet suggestions for taking handwritten notes

  • 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

  • There's probably a case for saying it doesn't need specifically to be the PM. In principle Starmer could crack on with things behind closed doors as long as there's somebody sharp, likeable and media-savvy to counter Farage every day. I guess the risk is you'd have to be a very self-confident PM, unafraid of leadership challenge, to go for that

  • GPT o3 frequently fabricates actions, then elaborately justifies these actions

    Jump

  • 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

  • Does it make sense to persue higher education after 40 years ood?

    Jump

  • 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

  • How do modern Linux-distros handle eSIM-integration?

    Jump

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

  • How do modern Linux-distros handle eSIM-integration?

    Jump

  • 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

  • Self-Driving Teslas Are Fatally Striking Motorcyclists More Than Any Other Brand: New Analysis

    Jump

  • 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

  • Your grass-fed burger isn’t better for the planet, new study finds | Grass-fed beef has no climate benefit — even when taking into account that healthy pastureland can trap carbon

    Jump

  • 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.

  • The Singular of Data is Data

    Jump

  • 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
