I haven't even been to Japan yet and this feels nostalgic haha. I can only imagine how it feels to those who are more familiar with it.

Great little game, thanks! I found I'm terrible at the vowel heavy words like audio and ideal, interesting.

Agreed. There should be a subset of Betteridge's law: if a headline states that you need to do something, you don't.

Fun and helpful little game, thank you! I did find the last world to be a big jump in difficulty, I don't know if there's a better way to explain it or if it's just the nature of the material. Incidentally I got 1 over par on both "Record a routine" and "The full routine", do you know what sequences would be most efficient for those levels?

Just wait until people clue into this and start prompting their models to introduce typos on purpose.

I love slide 18 with the implication that researchers don't create and engineers don't think.

Yeah, that's the point I was making; not that those people shouldn't be interested in science funding, but that when you're in that position you're going to end up voting for whoever promises you lower taxes etc. (regardless of whether those promises end up being just hot air).

>What kind of person isn't curious about the puzzle of their own existence

A person who struggles to put food on the table and a roof over their heads, for one.

Small nitpick but the books in IKEA are all real, and written in Swedish :).

Thanks for posting this, a great example of forcing the human element to fit the computer rather than the other way around.

I have my own experience with a similar issue as I work with regular expressions in multiple languages. Getting the cursor to behave while mixing RtL and LtR is a nightmare, and it's always a guess whether the regex engine will evaluate the text correctly. There's also the struggle between forms that look identical but are different unicode points e.g. between Persian and Arabic, as well as the issues with Persian zero-width non-joiners (ZWNJ) which are optional in the language but can look invisible (or nearly so) to the eye.

These are genuinely difficult technical challenges and I understand that there's no quick fix. But I wish there was more of a drive to solve them, rather than the default English-over-everything approach that's so common.

Yeah I had a similar experience, even as a teen I resisted the move from myspace to facebook because it felt so bland and lifeless. Hard to overstate the psychological benefit of having a customizable page that really feels like your own space, especially at that age.

I thought I was winning and then the bot jumped 5 of my pieces to win D:

Good fun and a great new way to use a Go board to keep things fresh, thanks for making this.

I'm still trying to figure out what to use it for other than news aggregation...

Anecdotal data point, writing and maintaining regex is still a core part of my job. Not useless at all for me :)

You ever feel like you live in a different world than people like this? I don't even mean that derogatorily, it's fascinating.

I agree with the people saying that the product is a lot better once you're actively engaging with pages that align with your interests, so that the algorithm can feed you better content.

That being said, it's still sad that this is the default new/returning user experience. Imagine a world where a new user was met with real posts about a variety of interests, rather than a psychic barrage of insane AI posts.

>an LLM that can generate textures to be fed into a human-coded 3d engine

I'm not certain but I think the LLM is also generating the physics itself. It's generating rules based on its training data, e.g. watch a cat walk enough and you can simulate how the cat moves in the generated "world".

I wish I had enough reader friends to have this problem lol.
