  • Man the Monsters Inc bad guy nowadays would just get a standing ovation from shareholders and a bonus for saying that line. It was like incriminating and the end of him being caught saying it. I can't even imagine.

  • this is so lovely to hear! Just got to chat with my partner on what you said and it's so exciting and affirming to hear from a linguist.

    I studied japanese on my own for almost a decade. Lots of kanji studying, mostly. My spoken japanese is not great at all, and I constantly feel like I should be way better than I am. It's been a huge pain point for years for me. Meanwhile I learned Spanish (maybe B1+/B2) growing up, working with a lot of Spanish speakers, having Spanish speaking friends. So very little real studying and I don't know a damn think about grammer or rules. But I recently had to use it for a few weeks in Spain and it was fine. I'm sure I made a million mistakes but I was understood and could understand.

    Small self flattery ahead, be warned.

    Now learning Danish, i basically got off the plane and was like "okay someone teach me how to order a beer". I have been mostly just talking and listening and it's going so freaking well. A year and a half in and I'm easily B1+ or B2 (confirmed B1 in school but ahead of the curve by a lot). I work in danish(well danglish), can play a board game or drink in all danish and it's fine (albeit a bit of a cognitive load). I can't believe the difference in the learning styles.

    Needless to say I deleted Duolingo a while back and am happy about it

  • Man i love to hear the news about Duolingo and to hear a linguist's opinion on it. I've always loved languages and have basically always had one that I'm studying at any given time. Of course I've tried Duolingo in that.

    I moved to Denmark in 2024 and have been learning the language. I have a bunch of friends and acquaintances in various stages of learning it, to varying degrees of success. It's been my running theory that Duolingo is the most antithetical to success tool you can use. It uses up effort and time for almost no result, while making you feel like you should be better because you're now "level whatever".

    Immersion and trying and failing are so fucking good for learning, it's insane. I've definitely been too hard on myself in the past comparing myself to people who have learned by living somewhere and how much better/faster they've learned.

  • Or maybe it's more energy efficient to cook it for 10000 seconds at 25*, just leave it out on the counter

  • I think trust in government is generally really high here in Scandinavia

  • According to wiki

    CTLC 509 km (316 mi)

    EPA 390 km (242 mi)

    So yeah take a solid 25%+ off

  • Wasn't it the first (IV) episode of Star Wars? Maybe both existed

  • Yup, my biggest reason for not running e/os on my Fairphone in denmark. Idk what to do other than carry 2 phones or wait

  • Bro it was so good! I expected to not give a shit about it. I really enjoyed it throughout and felt soooo epic at the end.

    Real shame that the next one is queued up to be mess

  • I couldn't agree more. RDR2 has this aura of "you can do so many things, in any order, all the exploration, etc" and to me it feels like no one stopped to ask "are any of the things fun?"

  • That's fair, I only meant it to poke fun at the LLM simulating battle scenarios, I know it's useful in general to simulate and wargame

  • Maybe it has a bunch of leaked files from the WarThunder forums as well!

    Simulating battle scenarios is absolutely hilarious, adults standing around the magic 8 ball

  • A hundred billion? I don't actually know, but that seems too high. I've worked as an automation engineer in a bunch of factories and know that you can get a fairly complex fairly large factory for 9 figures. I know semiconductors are complicated but so are a lot of things. I'd guess it's closer to a billion depending on scale/size/location.

    5 years to start up a factory is fast, but doable.
