Does every $\kappa$-compact topos embedd relatively $\kappa$-tidily into a presheaf topos?

Let $\kappa$ be a regular cardinal and say that a topos $\mathcal{E}$ is $\kappa$-compact if the global sections $\gamma_{\ast} : \mathcal{E} \to \mathsf{Set}$ preserves $\kappa$-filtered colimits. My ...

Do finitely presentable $\infty$-groupoids precisely correspond to the finite cell complexes?

In the Higher Topos Theory, Example 1.2.14.2 says “finitely presentable $\infty$-groupoids correspond precisely to the finite cell complexes” But, for example, $K(\mathbb{Z}, 2)$ is seems finitely ...
