A second language, almost from the start, will also open up a whole second world for you.

When I go to somewhere that speaks Spanish the whole place “jumps into 3D” for me. I can understand what people at the table next to me are complaining or laughing about, I can make small talk with people, I don’t have to follow the “avocado toast” trail that the non-native speakers sort of get jammed into because they struggle off of it. It is a much more human experience when you understand the language.

At home, I can watch Spanish movies as well, and listen to music artists I probably might never have heard about like C. Tangana and Rosalia otherwise. It has doubled my cultural landscape for me.

After reading the article, I wonder if this isn’t a key secondary benefit to learning the language itself. It gives you a larger variety of things to enjoy in your life.

We can’t afford healthcare because they revoked the subsidies but at least we now also can’t afford gasoline too!

The parent has been Fox brained

And my privacy? The threat to democracy? Does Flock own that? Why is always the poors that need to own morality?

Nobody wants this. We only need them to offer propaganda as a service and the enshitification will be complete.

The "use more area" needs to be considered in the sense that, designed properly, they eliminate left turn lanes and "suicide lanes" in the center of the road.

Instead, with proper design, you make this "left turn" by going to the next roundabout, going around to follow the road the opposite direction, and then make a right turn.

Or you print lotsa yen, which is probably what will happen here

More likely they are going to "monetize" the debt. Aka print yen to pay it off.

So a wildly successful AI startup

Why are people still using X? I mean seriously people, move on and stop using this closed ecosystem that is propaganda around elections.

But make a deal on what? He literally signed the current deal we have with Canada?

That makes me think that what he really wants is either a bribe

Doubling down on more failures to distract from the other failures

Who is going to pay for UBI?

The thing to realize is that you aren't alone in this feeling. I feel exactly the same as you. Has anyone found a way to reduce this addiction?

Apple is essentially arguing that once an LLM system is tainted with IP that the whole system is tainted...

Let's do intellectual property from books next!

Source?

The rumor is the opposite, that Microsoft has actually used AI to discover and fix common security issues at scale.

This is the future and we all need to be working against it. Are there watchdogs measuring the response of each of the chat interfaces to detect this?

PS. Our US tax dollars are being used to do this. Defund Israel.

Why are people still using X is the real question? STOP USING THIS THING for hundreds of reasons, including this.

Will look forward to the articles in five years of how trashed the LA coast is

Did you miss that they are huge corporations that the law doesn't apply to?

Of course they are. They have just put on their Swiss Banker suit now and have all sorts of deflection techniques in place such that, of course, "the money has the stamps that says its clean" (when it it really blood money hidden behind a pretty wall).

Oh no, we distrust both.

Plus you are fighting back against the "seeing state" at the same time! Win win!

The teacher makes a huge difference. My kids teacher somehow made The Odyssey a page turner for them and when the movie came out they were able to critique and delta the way the movie and book portrayed Odysseus. I was pretty impressed, because like the parent, The Odyssey and Shakespeare was a form of torture when I was in school.

Because they are hitting people's water and electricity bills (and or ability to get either at all) RIGHT NOW

This is because a whole swath of people are getting the aspirin for free (uninsured) so they need to gouge the payers for the aspirin.

Also, then, of course, we need to cover the United Healthcare guy's salary, which decreases margins.

Hilarious that this is the thing that gets downvoted

Severance in real life

The problem is that the costs of Texas blowing natural gas carbon into the air are largely paid by wildfires in California, so we are going to need another mechanism to make sure that is felt in Texas as well.
