A while ago, we wrote a paper about finding regexes which match the same way in both the greedy semantics and the leftmost maximal semantics.

> Selfish LLM usage: A situation in which someone uses an LLM to save their own time at the expense of other people’s time, resulting in a net productivity loss.

Brilliant. I would like to expand this definition slightly in order to include other problematic LLM usage.

> Selfish LLM usage: A situation in which someone uses an LLM to generate text or media which elicits or demands other people's emotional, cognitive or temporal input with the aim of saving similar resources for themselves, resulting in an unfair social exchange.

How about kellenok.github.io/cure-script/

But actually, I prefer the app "human japanese"

It's not discouraging at all. Japanese concepts do not have a 1-1 mapping with English concepts, so there is a lot of debate about how it can be taught. I find it fascinating.

Many Japanese English speaksers instinctively pronounce si as shi. They say shistem for system, bashic for basic, shix for six, etc

Yes, are they? Where are the alternative hosting that do the same thing as Bluesky?

> generate large streams of random numbers; you would select an index at random, share that private key with somebody, and then the subsequent text could be used as a one-time-pad.

This is what stream ciphers are

> which is actually a notification that your child made it to school safely

Thank you for the comment. I did notice that it was a notification, though.

It is an useful feature, but I don't think this is a good trade-off. Some Erica's might skip school and do some dumb and unsafe things, but I think this bit of privacy and autonomy is actually necessary for a good life

I get how it can feel horrifying, but I don't think we should make this decision based on gut-reactions.

Bad things can and do happen to children, but nearly not as much to warrant tracking them. Even if it were, I'd be reluctant to say that this is okay

The response to "Where's Erica?" should not be to put a tracking wristband on Erica. Perhaps you won't know where Erica is. Perhaps she is doing something dangerous. The oblivion and ambiguity are part of what constitutes acknowledging Erica's personhood.

For me, it was GitHub Copilot in 2021. It could autocomplete my Haskell code based on my comments.
