  And?

  Mate, just learn how to admin when you’re wrong. That’s a useful skill in life.

  Not all creators are orcs, of course. But people who don’t understand deliberately exaggerated comparisons might be. I believe that you understood my point. Don’t start arguing over nothing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Duolingo Fires Translators in Favor of AI⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Duolingo isn’t a good resource for learning a language, it’s focus is user retention

  These two statements contradict each other. To learn a language you must practice it every day, week after week, month after month. It’s an appropriate application of additive game-like mechanics, because our motivation doesn’t last long: 1-3 months for most people.

  Duolingo might not be the best place to learn some languages (e.g. German), but it can be a very helpful tool for everyday practice. And stuff like streaks, leagues, and other things are rather helpful.

  Orcs versus progress.

  Yep, that is a major issue for many people in my country, as most live in apartments.

  Imagine instead of fueling up once or twice a week, you start everyday at Full.

  Sure. I can also imagine Taylor Swift sitting on my lap, but that won’t change the reality. If you live in a regular tenement block, charging your car becomes a problem, and you’ll be the one paying for the infrastructure if it’s not there yet (and it isn’t where I live). Add these extra costs to the difference between a regular and EV car. Even if you’re ready to pay, it’s not guaranteed that other residents will approve that.

  Well, I can only speak for myself: EVs cost 5-10k more and I can’t charge it in one minute like a regular car.

  This is not new and has nothing to do with AI. AI is like 5G, but for mass audience.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Rishi Sunak says people ‘can’t be any sex they want to be’ in new swipe at trans community⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  We shouldn’t get bullied into believing people can be any sex they want to be.

  Does it work like that? From my understanding, a lot of biological and psychological factors play a role. I’ve listened to a couple of lectures about that, I was surprised how complex it is. I’d expect from someone in his position to be more educated on the topic. But he probably doesn’t care. For him trans people is just a safe enemy to create and to attack. Too many politicians on the West follow Putin’s and Orban’s steps. That’s worrying.
