(v0160 (SPON (ST the funny thing about change.org petitions is that they have a "this petition has X signatures. let's get to Y!" section; some people seem to think that getting to Y means anything but it doesn't, Y just increases and you start chasing a newer number)))

(v0160 (XSTM (ST oh hey, KFC's breakfast's scrambled eggs almost resemble real scrambled eggs these days )
(ST I remember when they were basically inedible rubber )))
(v0160 (ISTM (ST thinking of turning my API / output structure / typing quirk / whatever you want to call it into a public thing )
(ST this would be a "15 competing standards" situation but, tbf, I don't think any of them are a full fledged programming language, while this is supposed to be fully compatible with racket (lisp) )))
fedi drama + subpost
(v0160 (EXT (ST also my manual is too much of a mess to be LLM generated (though it's pretty incoherent iirc, I might need to rewrite it at some point )))
fedi drama + subpost
(v0160 (XSTM (ST #:misinformation luckily I'll never be accused of being an LLM because I don't think LLMs can generate coherent lisp syntax )
(ST they probably can but they'll probably misuse the codes... even though I also do that )
(ST also that wouldn't help in this case because people don't actually read posts )))
(v0160 (SPON (ST i'm probably gonna lock in on learning japanese over the summer, focusing on getting to JLPT N5
might be able to get to N4
I have nothing else to do anyway
I already know enough that I can form some sentences so it'll probably be possible
(CT (... as much as I can lock in while living with parents) ))))
outdated uk pol (as an outsider)
(v0160 (XSTM (OP the fact that some MPs thought "people who are already on PIP can keep it" is a good enough compromise for them is... such a transparent way to say that their oppositions to those cuts is not out of some principle, some innate desire that people should get the help they need, it's out of cynically wanting to keep their voters )))
(v0160 (SPON (ST the problem with 60/65% keyboards is that I don't have easy access to the tilde key )
(ST well I suppose I could remap caps lock to esc (like I already usually do) and esc to tilde, but my 65% keyboard doesn't support that unfortunately )))
(v0160 (XSTM (ST strange, I can't download NIMBY rails from steam's hong kong servers, but I can from vancouver servers )

re: LLM/AI discourse
(v0160 (TANG (QUERY actually, has anyone ever read a 5-paragraph essay )
(CT I've written tons of them but I don't think I've ever read one )))
LLM/AI discourse
(v0160 (EXT (ST To be more specific, I don't know how people are going to recover from the five-paragraph essay being the gold standard of argumentative essays to "it's probably AI, I'm not reading this" )
(ST there are also distinctively LLM style structures (at least from what I can tell) where the opening and conclusion stay the same but the content is replaced with bullet points, that will get you yelled at at school for sure)
(TANG (ST hell, my TA was annoyed when I did that on math homework ))))
LLM/AI discourse
(v0160 (TANG (ST I threw the em-dash in as a hyphen without thinking about it, but I changed it to an em-dash on purpose )))
LLM/AI discourse
(v0160 (XSTM (ST I watched a video on how to spot AI writing a while ago and a lot of it was just "if it sounds like a high school / college essay it's probably AI" )
(ST I imagine it's because LLMs have been trained to write like essays — using proper grammar, objective, mostly neutral, avoiding any personality, etc. )
(ST so it's funny that, in this day and age, we have to specifically make things "worse" (by the standards of my English teachers) to make them seem authentic and worth our time )
(QUERY I wonder if education and educational standards will change accordingly )
(CT I learnt english as a second language, but it can't have been that different for natives, I assume )
(CT Also to be fair, we were allowed to write more personal things like stories, but I never quite understood how to make a compelling narrative, at least to graders (and I suppose neither does LLMs))))
