Norway is quite literal: The way north.
It used to describe the coastline full of seaside trading towns before someone got the idea to make it a country.
The literalness also shows up in all the names for places in the country. They are 90% old spellings of “The place where people live”, “the field for cows to feed on”, “the settlement at the north of the fjord”, “upper farm”, “valley settlement”, and like 1837 places called “a place you can live”.
Sometimes, the feeling of “how big” a thing is, is extremely attractive. It is easy to fall into a trap of enjoying the bigness so much that it makes absurdly unfounded but attractively dramatic outcomes feel more “correct” than boring but realistic ones.
Keep that in mind when thinking about AI
Are you jealous people who aren;t bothered by those errors?
Resistance to shifting grammar annoys me.
Educated linguists know really well that language changes over time. It is natural and expected. There are also living valid variations of grammar outside standardized “book” grammar.
People who are zero educated just go with whatever.
People who are half educated juuuust enough to be smartasses but not enough to be smart will say shit like “I don’t know, can you?” in response to “Can I go to the bathroom”. Or pretend an emphasized negation - aka double negative - can be interpreted as a positive.
The boomers are dead or pensioned by now
I hope the word “natural” in rubber doesn’t cause the illusion that it is safe.
Natural rubber is pretty bad if you are allergic to it, and repeated exposure increases risk of developing allergy.
But that’s minor anyway. The process used to create/extract the material and create the product can add toxicants for both rubber and silicone.
Then check for degradability. Anything that degrades develops cracks and pores, i.e. bacteria breeding grounds.
Make sure you pick “food grade” or “cosmetic grade”, and either pick should be perfectly safe.
Take a bag of those pebers and dump them in a bottle of vodka. Let them dissolve overnight. Bring to a party and you will be instant friend of any scandinavian.
That may have been one of the Scandinavian countries. Sorry.
If you have any leftover, plz send.
Edit: Not our fault this time, but thanks for the tip!
Let me guess: There are ways for Google’s scraping, search engine, and AI model training to bypass this.
This depends on how big hands you have.
A fully usable system good enough to watch Youtube, do spreadsheets and play Minecraft can be a few inches wide.
So basically what is the smallest keyboard and screen you find usable? There’s likely a laptop around that size.
Fencing: Allow shields.
COME. Out. Of. The. Spaceship.
Jawohl, Herr Kaleun!
Pants. Conformist cowards.
That’s impressive!
Have you considered pushing some publicity for this to reinforce and spread it?
E.g. tell a local news outlet that your school has taken big and brave steps to improved security, control, inclusion, money saving, and environmental impact.
Let them make a sunshine story on this and interview the school headmaster/administrator. This builds pride and ownership in the school around the changes, and it is a good tool to encourage other schools, or more of it in this school.
Imagine you have a chess club.
Every five minutes, someone drops by to sit down at your match, but their drink on the chessboard and starts a friendly and helpful conversation about how you should play lacrosse instead because it is healthier.
You have some patience to inform them that of course exercise is healthy but you also enjoy chess games and it is hard to play while conversing with a stranger no offense okay? When you tell the 16th person to let you play chess in peace that day you are tiny bit harsh so they complain loudly that you all are extremely rude and excluding.
At some point you lock the door.
You are the 7452nd person to come in their door here, okay?
One interesting science field is “discrete AI” (probably has a few other names) which basically technically means “based on integers instead of floating point numbers”. It has a few more implications on the models being more mathematically clean, but that’s a long paragraph if I get into it.
The expecations are AI that is not based on absurd computing resources and black boxes, but getting the same benefits from low-power low-cost hardware and with outputs that can be more realistically queried to explain why the output became what it was.
E.g. if AI is used to make decisions on when to feed fish, and it feeds slightly too much, you’d want to be able to ask “why” and get a useful answer instead of today’s “yeah idunno magic computer said so i guess training data lol”
