For what it's worth, I'm interested. So far I've just bought a couple books on Middle Egyptian and read a basic intro that my library had, but between all the languages I'm already learning, couldn't really justify putting in the time.
A study group or study partner would probably be enough extra motivation to get basic proficiency at the least. So if you're willing let me know if you find/wish to create something.
It's way worse than that.
First, We interact with LLMs through private conversation and we are used to have private conversation with human we trust. Some of that trust will be transfered to LLMs.
Second, LLMs have a vastly bigger "mental" power to build a long term mental model of us, while we interact with them. Which mean they can chose with extreme precision their words to trigger an emotion, a certain reaction.
Combine the two and the potential for manipulation, suggestion, preference altering is through the roof.
The next step is to combine it with heartrate/bloodpressure/eye tracking in phones and generate the text you're reading in realtime based on biofeedback. We'll be able to control people like robots. See where those $1MM+ salaries and billions of dollars are going, yet?
I find it weird those analysis that forget the obvious Brazil moment.
It provided the coordination needed to execute the exodus.
The momentary Banning of twitter in Brazil, provided the impetus for a large amount of normal people there to look for a close alternative. And BlueSky is a more normie friendly.
Now a simple network analysis will show you that a lot of "tech-normie" people, but heavy user of social networks, in the US have an extended network that touches Brazil, especially for people of color and blacks. their social contact primed them for changing to Bluesky. In a sense it was the dry powder.
Now came the election, where Elon Musk took a central role and where
more than 80% of black voted against his prefered candidate. It just gave the sparkle inside an implicit network that was already playing with BlueSky.
I am working on the abandonned idea of a rapgenius for code. I think it still is a useful idea for the open source world. You can join the HN learn discord [1] if you want, so I can keep you posted.
Such a wrong take. An animated line instantly brings you focus, and remove any guess work, and unease, when analysing a complex system.
And in this example , allow you to instatly replay part of the system in your head.
Keep working in the direction.
If you replace the moving green boxes with arrows, you get the same information (specifically, flow direction). And if the goal is to show the order/steps, then the right tool for the job is a sequence diagram [0]. Again, the animations are good for getting attention, but otherwise this is re-inventing the square wheel.
I have a pet theory that words in a language obey to both an etymological logic and a "poetic" logic. Sometimes the two don't coincide and the accepted meaning of the word drift toward the poetic imagery.
