The weird thing is that half of the uses of the name on that landing page spell it as "Wanderfull". All of the mock-up screencaps use it, and at the bottom with "Be one of the first people shaping Wanderfull" etc. So eve

Because they want to play the game and don't know or care what a "kernel-level anticheat which acts as a rootkit" is. Which probably makes up 99.9% of their userbase.

This is cool! I see others have mentioned the acronyms, I'd also say some of the interjections are kinda lame, like having to guess both aw and aww, ew and eww, and just weird ones like awoo. I think cutting down the list serves a doub

I love the juxtaposition between the serious posts and the funny ones. Great to see "I want to make peace with my father" right next to "Unify the Mongol tribes under one banner".

I think you're making strong points that what generates revenue for these places isn't always quality but social media hype / overly broad appeal etc... but objective quality is still a huge factor. Some restaurants may have

Funny you mention that, I did take a vacation to NYC recently. Had 5 or 6 slices while I was there and every single one was good! Maybe the result of market pressure, maybe not :).

devil's advocate: wouldn't you want the pizzeria to feel that market pressure so they either 1. improve their product, or 2. are replaced by a better pizzeria?

The part about the person who saw they're building a new one in her neighborhood would make for a great Onion article. "'I never thought they'd build a 200th data center,' says woman who lives in county with 199 dat

Presumably they would need roads in the sense of arbitrary "surfaces" on top of one another, so that you could shift lanes vertically as well as horizontally. And then you would need at least a visual indicator of which lane you&#

What I found helpful in parsing those z combinations is just replacing them with h instead. for example, if you went up to a random monolingual English speaker and showed them "shchotechka" they could probably pronounce it reasona

To play devil's advocate, I can understand the mindset. People don't think in terms of servers and clients. This is more of a digital art gallery, and you wouldn't go and grab a photo off the wall at a real life art gallery.

All the people saying "actually there is no moral argument because this was completely legal under the license" are driving me crazy. The whole point is that something like this can be legally defensible but still be a dick move.

I've seen it a couple of times from British writers. But it's definitely a weird spelling that's on its way out.

I like how this advocates the opposite stance of a post from a day or two ago that argued for letting yourself "forget" books and reading widely. I think they can both be correct, and at the end of the day we shouldn't worry

Doesn't that mean having to go back to manually labeling examples? That can be a big hurdle compared to just zero-few shotting some stuff into the LLM prompt. Unless there's something I'm misunderstanding about your approach.

I went through Heisig's book THREE times, writing out each character and reviewing them multiple times each in Anki. I had several notebooks like the one in the OP article. I still can't write most kanji. The fact is that you simp

Or maybe it depends on the order in which you remove the letters? Just a guess.

Very cool! NN seems too focused on precision over recall (not allowing enough false positives) but trying to get stuff past it is also part of the fun.

You're right, that IS interesting. Something about having to learn with rigid constraints first before you can generalize the knowledge, I guess.

Great story, thanks for sharing. But man, she really should keep better track of orders! Have someone help her, maybe.

Good article. But it begs the question, are "continents" even a useful category? What value do we get from acknowledging the concept?

Reading the chat logs in the article is an eye-opener. It's one thing to say "yeah this chatbot sounds smart", it's another to have the chatbot literally telling you it's sentient and able to make its own decisions.

Yes and no, I don't think it's true that it's "built to sense our vulnerability". But there is what I'd call engagement hacking, in the sense that they fine-tune/prompt the models to prolong conversations

I just don't understand why all of these distraction-free devices use screens that are so small they're basically unusable. What's the point?

>My life was totally changed around the time I had 100 readers If I may ask, in what way do you mean changed? In a personal fulfillment sense or more like financial/networking/etc.?

My take on it is that a halfway decent teacher will simply want you to notice those themes, not necessarily endorse them. For example, "this book explores the ideas that the American Dream is largely a facade and that greed is what und

I'm kind of sad this wasn't about the pastry :(.

by littlekey 1y ago
Agreed, and the sad part is the gamification - while helpful for motivation - actively works against learning in other ways. Duolingo clearly doesn't want their lessons to be actually challenging because that would get in the way of th

Yeah I learned early on with "engagement" is that the only winning move is not to play. Just ignore the voting arrows, and definitely don't leave a comment on the video.
