The earlier parts of this lecture by Irving Finkel talk about what happened when they first translated the more original flood story from stone tablets in 1872. And the rest of the lecture is a nice story about an adventure, so I can only recommend watching the whole thing.

I think they meant you don't know what the binary is called because it doesn't match the package name. I usually list the package files to see what it put in /use/bin in such cases.

By having the stupid idea of existing next to Russia (or a similar country).

Linux and a windows virtual machine with a dedicated nvme hard drive and GPU using PCI pass-through. Windows is boxed in but easily accessed when you need it, and the performance is 95% of native, or more. And because of the dedicated hard drive, you can still dual-boot it like normal if you want.

Also, I recommend installing windows 10 enterprise in the VM, minimal bloat.

I believe they're called "logicool" in Japan. So maybe it's some form of logo consolidation.

It's not just about hardware compatibility. It has to be compatible with existing workflows, and it's currently very limiting.

Dave Jones of the EEVblog always says to beginners "I hope your project doesn't work." He thinks it's a much better learning opportunity that way.

They didn't just start calling it AI recently. It's literally the academic term that has been used for almost 70 years.

The term "AI" could be attributed to John McCarthy of MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology), which Marvin Minsky (Carnegie-Mellon University) defines as "the construction of computer programs that engage in tasks that are currently more satisfactorily performed by human beings because they require high-level mental processes such as: perceptual learning, memory organization and critical reasoning. The summer 1956 conference at Dartmouth College (funded by the Rockefeller Institute) is considered the founder of the discipline.

How did you pay with PayPal on AliExpress? They haven't supported it in years?

They'd tell you what the movie was, but they'd have to search for it and don't want to waste an hour.

Jokes aside, I believe them, I spent close to an hour recently finding a YouTube I knew existed but I could only remember vague details. Ended up having crawl back months though my YouTube history in the end.

It used to be that you could just describe a movie to Google like "movie where " and it would be really good at finding that movie even if it was some obscure one. Now if you're trying to find that one movie you saw years ago where you just remember one scene, be prepared to spend that hour.
