i.e. = "id est"
e.g. = "exempli gratia"
But who can remember those stupid Latin phrases? A good mnemonic is to replace them with roughly equivalent English words:
i.e. = "in explanation"
e.g. = "example(s) given"
Or you can just keep mixing them up because you're a chaos goblin. That's cool, too.

Since at this point ai bots are the first ones to read your resume, it only makes sense to fight fire with fire.

Is Moomin still a thing in Scandinavia? I fondly remember reading this book when I was a kid.

I guess it makes way more sense to learn a second language starting with its grammar - it would take ages to learn by immersion (as most natives do). So learning differently means = making different mistakes.

It's just that, at the end of the day, people try to materialize in writing whatever they are listening to, but with no clear grammatical rules (and no familiarity due to reading) they just use whatever homophone.
When learning English I first learned about grammar, so I'd never write "I could of".

In English, people write "I could of" but it makes no sense at all if you'd learned at least a bit of grammar and/or read books regularly.
Similarly, in Spanish people wrongly write down "Vamos haber" instead of "Vamos a ver" when again the first construction makes no grammatical sense at all.

Not sure I agree with this (or maybe it's because I'm thinking struggle=failing)
In Spanish as well as in English most errors come from homophones when you just try to write down whatever you *think* you are listening to.

Main reason for "human-form factor" robots, it's that the physical world is designed for the average size/shape/weight human: doors, cabinets, desks, hallways, appliances.
Also, when training a robot using videos, sensor data, taken from real humans, it's easier if the robot is also human-shaped.

As a friend of mine said about all this: I'm horrified, I'm upset for all the victims, and I'm also sad that this person I imagined was not what I thought he was. This is why it's better to have values than heroes.

I notice lot of people think "segue" is written as "Segway" (and as a non-native speaker, it doesn't make sense to me why both are pronounced the same)

I had to explain my American niece that it's "la foto" not "el foto" because the original word is "fotografía".

Are you currently doing mostly abstract stuff? Has she been taught how to code? I'd work on practical stuff like graphs of a function, computer graphics, computer vision algos, basic data science, robotics, hobbyist rocketing (basic physics), etc.
