Given that the most recent time Anthropic attempted regulatory capture, the US government responded by saying "alright, we agree that Mythos is too dangerous to release, so we've banned you from releasing Mythos," I can'

> For instance, I think that every single verb that ends in "-rimasu" in the polite form (other than just arimasu?) is a godan -ru word. Not quite: https://jisho.org/search/%23words%20%23v1%20%3F*%E3%82%8A%

I definitely remember only learning about two groups, personally. Is the third group, like, "irregular verbs", or do some books teach "the -suru verbs" as the third group (instead of "suru" being a single irreg

Technically, it's possible to write the "si" sound as スィ, similarly to much more common constructions like ファ and ティ. Wiktionary lists eight whole words that use it! (The entry for スィ itself, a couple obscure loanwords and pr

I used to get these terms mixed up all the time because some textbooks use "Group 1" and "Group 2" to refer to these verbs, but Group 1 doesn't mean ichidan. For all that I'm not totally sold on this article&#x

"Disappearing consonant" doesn't work for the potential form, unless you expand the representation to allow writing -[rar]eru. (Edit: And I think imperative would require like "-[ro](e)".) Which, like, is clean in t

I'm not totally sure this "stems and suffixes" mental model really works well for everything else. Forms like the imperative (食べろ), volitional (食べよう), provisional (食べれば), potential (食べられる), and causative (食べさせる) aren't c

Similarly, when complaining about how you have to memorize a big table of verb conjugations in the intro, the author links to a table of... -ta forms, a verb form for which the author later concludes you just have to memorize a big table.

I think what's actually happening is that the game only counts your swipe as an input once you lift your finger off the touch screen. You can kind of get away with that if you're implementing, like, 2048 (although the official ver

This project appears to be vibe-coded; the game itself was added in a single squashed commit, but the author then used Claude for an extremely trivial "add a link to the bottom of the page" follow-up. The code for the game also ha

As a human, it is possible for you to create copyrightable works and transfer the copyright to Microsoft in exchange for money. It is not possible for Claude Code to do those things because Claude Code is not a human.

UIKit apps can already resize fluidly on Mac Catalyst and iPadOS. I suspect the issue here is more related to the video encoding / streaming used for iPhone Mirroring.

Apple has used this kind of blurry resizing animation in the past. For example, circa macOS 10.14 Mojave resizing windows in Split View would have the same effect: https://youtu.be/KDDMUxBtnkI

Steam was rewritten in React relatively recently. I think most people formed their opinion of Steam back when it was mostly developed in VGUI, the same in-house native UI framework Valve used in games for stuff like the Half-Life 2 title sc

As I understand it, these cards work basically the same way as transit card systems in other countries, like the SF Bay Area's "Clipper" cards. The overall model is similar to tap-to-pay debit cards. They're only used fo

The Content-Encoding header allows any page to be a literal zip-bomb. That's how early versions of Tailwind worked; you'd deliver a 50KB Brotli payload that exploded into 2MB of CSS ( https://v1.tailwindcss.com/d
