The weird thing is, I was off reddit for years already. It’s only because tech news sites reported on the api changes (and boosted the fediverse) that I made the switch. I was doing fine! I didn’t need a new reddit!

Thought I was looking at

Miku is a boy because she’s blue. Luka is pink, she’s a girl vocaloid.

Where is she keeping her Yu-Gi-Oh cards?

Be careful, you can’t breathe in bubble mountain. This kid was smart and made a little window in a tall and narrow bubble stack, but in a large pool it’s easier to lose track of the edge of the bubbles.

I paid for Lingodeer Lifetime, which was $120 at the time. I thought that was pretty hefty already, but it was like 8 months of monthly subscription, and I figured I would need that much time to get through the course anyway. “Regular” price for lifetime is apparently $300, but they constantly run sales that take it down to more reasonable amounts.

On the other hand, I have to admit that the quality of the course is worth the $300 and I too learned more from a few months of Lingodeer than 2 years of Duolingo. They’re also honest in that they teach you all the grammar fairly quickly with a minimal vocabulary and then just end the course with the advice to start reading books. They’re not trapping you in language purgatory like Duolingo does.

Early Duolingo was curated and corrected by the community. Clearly people were volunteering to do it, so I don’t know why they removed all the community tools and are now using AI to fill the gap.

I think if you look at child development research, you’ll see that kids can learn to do crazy shit with very little input, waaay less than you’d need to train a neural net to do the same. So either kids are the luckiest neural nets and always make the correct adjustment after failing, or they have some innate knowledge that isn’t pattern-based at all.

There’s even some examples in linguistics specifically, where children tend towards certain grammar rules despite all evidence in their language pointing to another rule. Pure pattern-matching would find the real-world rule without first modelling a different (universally common) rule.

This one?

This one time I got a “test email” but it was sent from a legitimate domain, used our in-house style correctly, didn’t contain any spelling errors, contained personal information about me that a simple leaked email couldn’t reveal, and linked to a document on an internal server. When I opened the link, it said “this was a mock phishing email, your respone has been registered”. Literally the only time I got got, and their supposed “tell” was that the tone was more urgent than you’d expect. I just thought it was written by a stressed intern.
