You don't need kindergarten to teach reading. Mine didn't and I did fine. (Obtained a Ph.D. degree later in life.)

The article explicitly mentions (towards the end) that this is far from evidence for language learning. But such a headline makes for clicks I guess.

How much is CC-BY-SA worth if nobody knows how much of the content fell out of an LLM? > I've been preparing these notes for 20 years, and now it's finally time to put them online. As much as I would like to believe that, there

Yes, that's what I think. Considering the number of "little books" you (assuming it was you) published in the last weeks, it's a reasonable view, don't you think?

And many of them have the same "citation" to the math one by a Duc-Tam Nguyen, which they then didn't bother to adjust the title of. I'd vote for flagging this submission. It's just AI slop.

I wonder if those LICENSE files in such repositories even mean anything in the world of LLM created stuff/slop/crap. There is no obvious authorship attached to this "Little book" which is a tell-tale sign since anybody i

Collective punishment also has done immeasurable damage to society and I'm glad that most reasonable systems of law do not consider it legal. Go after the guilty party and revert whatever benefits they got. If money went to dependents,

It's not? Are you a neuroscientist and/or have evidence for that claim? Then we can talk, I'm interested. Or do you just claim this because that's your gut feeling?

I don't think I wrote anything about the validity of other opinions. I have mine, you have yours, that's fine. A bit of self-awareness would suit yourself well. I didn't make any moral clas, baseless or not.

I do hate economic criminals just as much as everybody else. But I also value honest arguments. The kind of thing this reply of yours didn't provide.

To the contrary. I do find it a disingenuous argument to say "most of this kind of crime goes unpunished, so the cases we do punish, we have to punish for life". The solution is not harder punishments for those that are punished,

Of course not. But 10 years later, rehabilitation could be in the cards?

"permanently" "ever again" For good reason, modern law systems rarely issue punishments that last a lifetime. People can and do change, and something stupid (and illegal) you did 30 years ago shouldn't be held over

A native-language workplace helps too, but that's step 2. Step 1 is getting to a level that allows you to switch from english to local language at the workplace.

The hack is immersion. Move to a country where the language is spoken, and have a girlfriend/boyfriend native in the language whom you move in with. That's it.
