we all know that the proof for the administration that an institution is not implementing affirmative action will be the percentage of nonwhite admits. the lower the better. any more than a smattering of black and Hispanic students will be evidence of illegal discrimination (against whites)

Holy shit that's so bad, actually insane to publish that seriously

it just makes concessions to not looking awful to look at which give it a weird learning curve

interesting to me since RR is just an alternate alphabet for the underlying grapheme -> phoneme correspondence that hangeul has (and inherits some nice properties of hangeul, just not all).

Pinyin is weird and unintuitive but it does reflect Mandarin phonotactics well enough and it is unambiguous,

Embarrassingly I was just thinking of European countries, Polynesian often have good (Latin) orthographies with distinction based on whether ŋ should be “g” or “ng”, and for similar reasons if you count the standard romanisation of Japanese I’d consider that good. Korean RR and pinyin are

Kind of ridiculous that this is published by an institution which is nominally a research institute.

Imagine doing this at a university or as part of another research company without a bajillion dollars of funding

ok openai😭 nice chart

I was going to reply and say “Nah actually it was a gift from my mother” but then I realized that sounds like a sincere comment about my mum

I’d defer to Isabel if she says anything specific, but in general I find them nice (although I don’t do anything complex with them I just wanted more channel control
)

This is surely controlled opposition by Big Labubu (to afford the marketing stunt of a big Labubu)

Through the power of autocorrect I managed to typo “Rust” as “racist”

“Racist doesn’t have guaranteed tail calls” it sure doesn’t I’m so insightful

I don’t think Italian, Spanish or Portuguese have bad orthographies, although I think that if you disqualify romance languages this is possibly true. Finnish is cool looking but I’m not sure how “good” it is

I asked my dad how long he thought dinner was going to take since I’m getting home late and I was wondering if he wanted to time it with me getting home, and he just replied “Burger king” 🤩🤩🤩

I was talking to a psychologist recently who claimed that an individual's performance in various IQ quiz task categories (e.g. memory, verbal reasoning) would be closely clustered in neurotypical people, which doesn't seem very believable

This makes me think of all the times I’ve checked “No, this expense was not a gift for a government employee” on a $12 lunch business travel expense.

Why performance optimization is hard work I’m not talking about skill, knowledge, or convincing a world focused on radical acceleration that optimization is necessary. Performance optimization is hard because it’s fundamentally a brute-force ...

Have you read this purplesyringa.moe/blog/why-per...? It talks about this tangentially but the article is really good in general

My ai art Hot Take is that if someone is trying to use it to artistically express themselves they should just write. If you are crafting a prompt and iterating to try and get one that produces the image you want then all the detail you want you had to write anyway, just cut out the middleman

I have zero knowledge of Hekate’s Call but I think that’s clocky 😔

It’d be fun 🤩

Tbh I’ve been meaning to try this for a while but it send really time consuming

Claiming to be as good as Bjarne is certainly a choice ;)

I took 9 distinct transit modes today and this is just kinda my normal now thank you O’Biden for bringing 15 minute cities to America

Also a good run in unlocking every king but stone

Hit NaN I think it’s time to stop this run lol

Maybe? I think numbers matter in every context except for against the King of Stone, and I think that the synergy that lab rats have with the rest of the king of progress cards (especially Overhaul and Reinforce) push them over the edge

That’s unfortunate 😔

Lab rats are so funny though

It’s 10 orders of magnitude every day now 😆

I kept continuing after the message saying that bugs were likely past this point just to see what happened and 5 in games later the damage number was on the 10 to the 161 lol

the end of the run. What a great run to get started with again
