this argument would follow iff acceleration is necessary for LLMs to stay ahead of other paths to AI, which might be true but isn’t obviously true

well now i’m curious what % of the pretraining corpus is written by chickens

idk if that’s true, you’ve always been good at talking to me in spite of my dirty capitalist worldview 😅

pretty much any learning resources will be basically fine though, the thing that matters most by far is just getting to the point where you can read anything and then finding lots of stuff to read. eg at my level, i’m reading novelizations of movies i love targeted at advanced elementary schoolers

i can recommend NativShark, have been using it for about a year and a half and it has been quite good. i archive the kanji cards though, isolated kanji study is a trap (studying phonetic components is worth it though, iirc cure dolly put me onto that). skimming through sakubi once early helps too

unironically, ryukishi07 now has both the single most compelling videogame deconstruction of berkeley style rationalism (umineko) and the single most compelling videogame deconstruction of patriarchy (silent hill f)

idk how he does it, he’s a fucking genius

yeah this definitely doesn’t apply to most european/british tech workers, y’all have it rough :(

i love to be normal

i need this so bad 😭

i cracked five other eggs in the first year after i cracked my own and they’re all happy about it and ppl who go hard about the prime directive effectively wish those ppl were still miserable, and frankly death penalty for that shit, it’s straight up evil

but yes, calling out annoying ppl is good

yeah some ppl do annoying things but if you simply ask ppl questions about themselves and provide a safe container for them to answer them ppl tend to crack their own eggs pretty easily and it’s extremely stupid that a bunch of trans ppl psyoped themselves into thinking this is a bad thing to do

the prime directive is kinda bullshit, python finally doing something good for once in its miserable existence

it is, he’s completely full of shit

it really, really earns it

i basically interpret it as meaning “wow your pronunciation is slightly less shit than the average tourist”

neat concept but kind of hard to imagine
