  • I think people in the replies acting fake surprised are missing the point.

    it is important news, because many people see LLMs as black boxes of superintelligence (almost as if that’s what they’re being marketed as!)

    you and i know that’s bullshit, but the students asking chatgpt to solve their math homework instead of using wolfram alpha doesn’t.

    so yes, it is important to demonstrate that this “artificial intelligence” is so much not an intelligence that it’s getting beaten by 1979 software on 1977 hardware

    Tell me you are a monolinugal English speaker without telling me.

    tu penses mon nom d’utilisatrice vient de quelle langue?

    of course not every language has the same grammatical genders, but if you already speak a language with them, you don’t have to learn the concept, you already get it

    when learning Spanish in school, grammatical gender was really not an issue, cause i already speak french (to be fair, french and spanish will often gender the same words the same way, which greatly helps ofc)

    to me, it was much harder to grasp the distinction between ser and estar, for example. two fundamental verbs that, in french, get translated to the same thing

    i mean, no, the reason english is the default language of the world is due to (british, and then american) imperialism

    french and latin were once the default languages of europe for the same reason

    and how hard a language is to learn is kinda irrelevant, because it will always depend on what language(s) you already know. for monolingual speakers of english, it’s hard to learn a language with grammatical genders, but if you already speak a language with those, that won’t be a problem









  • no, I don’t think we need & more often than we need 1

    and for accents, the canadian french qwerty keyboard handles them just fine; é (by far the most common accented letter) has its own key, all the other use dedicated dead keys. it works well!

    and you can write accented uppercase letters using the CF qwerty, on azerty you need a combination with AltGr for that (because using just shift types the numbers…)
