I very cautiously agreed with one of my freelance tutoring students that they could try using AI for practicing using vocabulary in sentences because it’s a formal, fixed language and the overall possibilities of linguistic ambiguity were low, but somehow Gemini and Claude have got way worse at it

Huh, it’s one of the Real Bad Things I hoped would never happen to Mexico and to a lesser extent the USA

Got extra exercise this morning and did all of my errands for the rest of the week because it’s going to be weirdly humid coming up so now I am in maximum cave wolf mode for a couple of days 👌

I’m increasingly convinced on a monthly basis that linguists don’t just write by far the most concise and complex Python code, but that they also write the best code. It’s not always the most efficient code, but still.

Nice walk, nice shower, fresh warm sheets straight out of the dryer, stuffed animal hugs 😀

This isn’t entirely inaccurate. MacArthur was known for being so impossibly vain and neurotic that all his staff officers and superiors hated him plus he was often incompetent, and Patton was an incredibly strange man who thought the Nazis had a generally better political system than the US did.

I had no idea that Johnny Cash guest starred in an episode (s3e7) of Columbo, and he’s so good!!

This episode of Columbo takes place in a “Cybernetics Institute” in 1974 with big chunky workstations and tape-drive supercomputers and I so wish I was a computer scientist then and not now
