If you ever tried to learn Chinese, you wouldn't be saying any of this.

coronasauruson The strangest letter of the alphabet: The rise and fall of yogh

I strongly object to the claim "In reality, English spelling is more like learning Kanji." as someone who had to learn both Chinese and English characters.

coronasauruson Israel wants to train ChatGPT to be more pro-Israel

Same. On an android browser, not signed into any Google accounts. Got the legitimate result at the very top.

coronasauruson Ask HN: Is there a web browser, that's just a browser?

Otter browser

https://github.com/OtterBrowser/otter-browser

Ungoogled Chromium

The Android version https://github.com/macchrome/droidchrome/releases comes with customizable adblock filters e.g. easylist, I don't care about cookies, EasyPrivacy etc. that I'm no longer forced to put up with Firefox's jank just for some decent adblocking on my phone anymore.

Just going by the abstract that you linked, that study seems to only relate to the past 100 years.

And extrapolating this to the middle ages and earlier:

In general, countries with a lower overall life expectancy had a lower number of women per 100 men aged 75+, while countries with higher overall life expectancy had a higher female to male ratio in this age group. A hundred years ago there were nearly equal numbers of women and men aged 75+ in many countries.

It doesn't seem to disagree with me at all.
