> Jake particularly liked the Final Fantasy and Soulcalibur series: “Anything with killing,” says Dee, wincing. This line lost the author a bit of benefit of my doubt. Certainly there is violence in those games, but they’re not particula

I suspect it depends on what generation is retiring, because my older white collar relatives are retiring upon hitting 50. I don’t know if that holds true for younger generations.

If you have an airtight home, you need a separate ventilator for the reasons you state. New construction building code often requires these.

I’m not 100% bilingual, but my take is that there’s a lot more to be gained from the subtitles due to homophones, wordplay, and literary allusions. It’s like getting genius.com rap annotations in real time for any metaphors or references.

I don't see how your explanation and GP's explanations are mutually exclusive. To add some detail to this point: > my understanding is that words in Chinese are largely monosyllabic and involve a decently high degree of homopho

There are a lot of underlying assumptions here: 1. That Chinese writing is inherently inefficient. It's actually very efficient...to read. And nothing beats the efficiency of having a script that maps perfectly to the language. Also

Even if you disagree, I would think that the volume or strength of the comments would teach you something about the situation. Instead, it’s the children who are wrong.

I wonder if these biases are replicable in LLMs.

RIP Akira Toriyama. I wonder if the 1.0 announcement was related to his passing.

You could also think of it as "look at all the weird syntax olympics you need to do in order to trigger a compiler edge case!"
