This might be on purpose and part of the training data because "for example" just sounds much better than "e.g.". Presumably for most purposes, linguistic naturalness is more important than fidelity.
Except for (vector) graphics design, desktop publishing, page layout designing and reporting software... The reason is of course that most printed items are unica and non-variable, but proper parametric and constraint-based would definitely be useful in report generation and signage where print formats vary or where designs need to be automatically adjusted based on texts and other content varying in size/length.

One point of critique was the difficulty involved with 3rd party programs on the Linux laptops. But with MS Teams, Zoom etc. running in the browser and/or having actual Linux clients these days, this may be much more feasible today.
The opposition claimed the decision to abandon Linux was a purely political one. The mayor who pushed the return to Microsoft, Dieter Reiter (SPD), was a known Microsoft fanboy, but he (of course) denied personal investment in the reversal.
SELECT loop.value, loop.value * loop.value
FROM generate_series(1,5) AS loop(value)This also reminds of Gall's law that complex systems evolve from simpler ones.
You can also see it in neural nets, where larger ones have a higher spatiotemporal resolution and can do more complex things.
More model capacity allows to model the environment and self more accurately which allows to outperform other structures in negentropy consumption often at the cost of the other structures (zero sum).
This exerts selection pressure toward increasing complexity.
That also largely explains group and country disparities.
I am not sure that non-evolving things really fit into the same pattern. A burning fire does not necessarily displace inert matter, nor did it arise from competition.
Physics and chemistry are more fractal-like possibly the result of enumeration of all computational structures (see Tegmark's mathematical universe hypothesis or Wolfram's ideas on the computational universe). Not fractal-like in terms of self-similarity (although there is some at different scales), but fractal-like in terms of chaotic complexity like a pseudorandom number generator but with more rule-like structures in between. Wolfram also classified such computational patterns.
Moving the jaw forward and then to the right has the biggest effect for me, causing the ringing on the left ear to increase. It's asymmetric in that moving the jaw to the front left has only a very small effect on the right ear.
Moving the ears backwards has no effect for me.
Could you provide a link to where he said this?

Which appears to be a purely aesthetic procedure.
