Anecdotally, it seems like the portable L1/2 adapters are pretty smart. I got mine from Ford and tried testing (not planning to leave) it in a power strip and I thought it was broken because it refused to even try to charge. Took out the power strip and it worked perfectly.

Ford gave up on the EV Lightning, so technically it's not functional at all anymore

Someone linked the study in the replies and it explicitly says that it's not meant to measure jobs at risk of replacement. I don't know if I agree with that conclusion, but it at least wasn't the intent of this study in particular.

"It is tempting to conclude that occupations that have high AI action applicability score will be automated and thus experience job or wage loss [...]. This would be a mistake, as downstream consequences of new technologies are very hard to predict and often counterintuitive (33)."

Without knowing any context on this, I don't read someone saying their goal is to do something implies that they're actively doing it or even that it's been greenlit as a thing to do.

We still turn on the lights, roll down the window, hang up the phone, and call movies films, so using words that don't literally describe the current state of things anymore is kind of just how language works.

So they removed an existing feature in NYC on their website that still exists everywhere else in the US because NYC wants to require it?

How did Dutch end up in the English wordbank for a Portuguese lesson in Duolingo?

A screenshot of a Duolingo Portuguese exercise with the Portuguese saying "O avô adorava contar piadas.", the filled in English answer saying "Grandpa loved telling jokes", and the leftover words being "day", "swimming", "week", and "uit nieuwsgierigheid"

Am I crazy or is Bing currently just not indexing a ton of sites and people? Even using "site:" just gives me random results in other languages. Netflix and Google show up fine, UniFi and Lutron homepages aren't even on the first page (unless I use "site":), and spacebar.news is gone altogether.

I've been bedridden for the last 6 months, unable to work as I try to get a surgeon and insurance lined up for my operation to let me work again. If you could send a couple dollars, it'd really help. Time isn't on my side here, and waiting is very expensive. ko-fi.com/fooneturing

I’m kind of speechless with this one. I can’t imagine the kind of person who continues to make the argument that it doesn’t count as real starvation if the kids were already sick.

I got them ridiculously cheap so it's not too big a deal, but it's still just such a strange display.
