Yes, you've understood me perfectly. Whether this works for anyone else, I don't know. But it made perfect sense for me to learn Spanish. I'm sure there's specific contexts in which proficiency is important, but I think

When you are "home", do you have the same problem? I wonder if people are becoming less social overall? I also wonder if it is something that happens for women as well, or just men.

You made a blanket statement about being a man over 40 makes it impossible to converse with people. I refuted that. Would you like to revise it to say "I happen to be in a place(s) where people are just generally anti-social, so that

What is he writing that doesn't get capitalized? Code comments or entire multi-hundred or thousand line issues, specs, etc? The context matters. Moreover, the lack of capitals in this article is accentuated by the stream of consciousne

I concluded long ago that anyone who writes without capitalizing the first letter of their sentences is not worth paying attention to, due to some combination of hubris, delusion, etc... Combined with the inner monologue stream of conscious

You get it, friend. It's unfortunate that so few others do as well. There's many expats where I live who have, at best, a completely rudimentary level of Spanish. It is both sad and disgraceful. I prefer talking to locals. I'

This is either a problem with you, or a problem with the specific place you live in. I talk to people every day in my 2nd language. They are generally delighted to do so. Yes, some people are suspicious of me, depending on the context. But

This is fascinating to me, because I am adamant that learning grammar (and especially verb conjugation) is completely counter productive when starting to learn a language. Especially with Spanish, where every tense and person has different

I learned Spanish in my 30s, but was immersed by living in a Spanish speaking country. Though, I've spent a lot of that time alone, so my level is not where it could/should be. But I can talk confidently with anyone about almost a

its a fundamentally silly rule, because it is quite clear that people regularly comment without reading the article. Or, perhaps worse, read the article and didnt make the slightest effort to understand it.

Can you share a link to thr automatic compactor? I've been noticing that when I get to around 60% context window, the cache will simply break and suddenly I've paid 50x more than expected. The only solution seems to be to compact

it is significantly more complicated - especially for the average user - to install them than on other browsers. other browsers also let developers ask the browser to prompt the user to install the app. This is all documented in great detai

It is rare that someone voluntarily exposes their lack of insight and integrity so thoroughly... Kudos..? your argument amounts to "this person is incapable of being objective, let alone decent, because they work at xyz". Moreover

The fact that your "argument" rests upon baseless ad hominem, I'm mostly inclined to not even respond. I'll simply say that if you bothered reading anything (let alone objectively), you'd clearly see that no one is

why invest in developing a PWA if a significant portion of (particularly wealthy) users cant use it?

Yes, a truly Open Web is the solution that we need. It already works everywhere with a single codebase, and is more secure and private than native apps. But Apple prevents that by forcing all browsers to use terrible WebKit on iOS. Endless

im not against using AI for writing, learning, etc... But if you publish/share writing that is full of LLM-isms, its slop. Full stop.

I had never heard of raglan, but started commenting about how this relates to Joseph Campbell's work. Turns out that the wiki article heavily compares raglan and Campbell. I look forward to looking into this all some more. One note - a

I had the same reaction. I was particularly interested in "the dangers of starting from scratch" and it just turned out to be a history of lotus notes. I stopped reading about 80% of the way through, so perhaps they addressed that
