So: your point is the usage of AI in common vernacular should not have changed from its meaning 50 years ago, and using it in its modern sense as shorthand for LLMs and generative models is bad.

And your point is also that the modern usage of a Luddite is correct and you should ignore the original group and the conditions that led this group to smash the textiles because the usage of that word changing is fine and we should not look at original usage?

Got it. Words change. Sometimes. And other times no.

Any ideas on how to rectify this?

Sounds like the LEDs are doing a great job of that already

That is very true. If you just want to learn it, starting even at something like basic tex may make more sense. The latex ecosystem is where it starts getting interesting though, since there’s been so much created and written for it. BUT that does mean you’re stuck in a weird abstraction area. For when I’m just making documents (and not stuck to a specific journal format), I’m really enjoying org-mode and then piping its output to a tex PDF. I think markdown would work too, but org-mode inherits all the emacs modes, so you can get some pretty complicated in-document scripting done.

Now that is the gift that keeps on giving! I also like the implication that one can “learn” emacs.

Latex is worth knowing, its most commonly used for academic papers, but it opens up a whole world of scripting automated documents. But, to make it really interesting, throw in tikz and/or pgfplots for some interesting power tools. Tikz does A LOT, and is really powerful. But can definitely be overwhelming.

Just within the last week or so old.reddit.com was effectively disabled and stopped working. (I think it might work if you log in, but i quit doing that 3 years ago). It was a nice resource and it’s said that it’s such a shell of what it was. Right when the internet is really needing human voices too

This is part of it. Constitutionally, the governor can only appoint for state offices, but there was historical precedent for the governor to appoint federal offices. And you are right that the state had passed some laws requiring a special election, but it also had some crazy length like 56-days required between the call and the election taking place to let all counties be notified. (As best I can remember reading. It’s all a bit of a mess.)

The more annoying thing is the two rulebooks. McConnell has tended to make up his own rules (and justify them with legalese) and ignore the ones he doesn’t like. Beshear is trying to play by the rules, and not recognizing the actual power shifts that have happened. And so, here we sit in sending-angry-letter mode for the time being.

I bought a linksys wrt simply because they had the open firmware. That router was amazing!

A while ago jacobin had some stats showing how often she would mention Medicare for all, and it decreases by a lot as time went on

I quit doing all surveys. Why work for free? It just felt pointless, and I used to fill out a lot of these since I thought it made my voice heard. They also started to feel more sterile and robotic and less about actually getting actionable feedback. Aggregate data tends to suck, and it’s all they want now.

Yeah, I enjoyed them. I can’t remember where I stopped. But definitely enjoyed the first 3

Jack McDevitt writes a series which is basically space archaeology. You may like those. I think Engines of the Gods is thr first one.

Got the email from Amazon and jailbreaked my kindle that same day. Koreader is pretty awesome!

I was about to mention that too. The first part of mutual aid is talking through all the ways that animals work together and support each other.

Mokas are a finicky beast. I’ve had it make some of the worst and some of the tastiest cups I’ve had. Is it acidic or bitter? It’s easy to burn it, but that doesn’t sound like the problem. I’m guessing it’s too fine. Every bag I got had to be individually dialed on, but in general I found a grind much more similar to drip/ pour over worked best. I’d try that. Fill your filter up to where there’s a good mound and lightly tap down with a spoon.

Also, have your changed your filter and gasket that go into the top portion? Those can get old grinds stuck in it easy that can taste off.

Thanks for the tip! I took a break after the Seville episodes. Those were rough. Robert bashing on AI sounds nice

What a strange take. I get that being interrupted with a phone does cause a context switch, but so would coming in and ordering. Or picking up pizzas to deliver. And also, for me I just think of answering the phone as part of the job at a pizza joint. So many memories of sitting in lobbies waiting hearing the constant “hello papa johns” drone on. I do concede I’m old though.

Following your logic, we should also only eat non processed meat and vegetables. Goodbye Kraft Mac and cheese, sodas, etc. Because compounds.

Breast is best except when it isn’t. (Supply issues come into play, some babies don’t latch, soreness, etc can all happen). Fed is always going to be best and you do what you can. We had three with all different experiences. No differences we can tell years later.

Linux breaks itself all the time and is a moving target. Even in EPEL land, compatability is lacking. As this blog post said a few years ago, w32 is the only stable ABI on Linux.

Looks like I’ve replied to you a few times, and sorry for the accusatory tone! Didn’t mean it! You did get me worried since I’m going to be used “bare metal” in my embedded class later this semester, and felt like I had gone insane not being able to find it anywhere. I was mostly just trying to convince myself this morning I wasn’t insane. I had thought it was the standard terminology. I do also need to caveat this that I am not familiar with whatever law OOP was referencing. I’m assuming it was one of the either baked-in surveillance or age verification things. Yeah, I’m with you and don’t really see a way out, unless we just step way back in time when we had less standardization and do bespoke everything. Cheers, and sorry for the tone!
