Good morning internet.

Just in: computers made snail mail (letters) obsolete somewhere. And it’s in Denmark.

If we consider 1965 as the year that electronic mail started to take its actual shape and fulfill its function… Then it’s roughly a 60 years cycle between the time the technology is out, and the time it replaces its direct legacy predecessor system.

Here I speak purely in terms of core function, regardless of size or capex… And no allusion whatsoever to hubris and new born technologies that have been force fed to the public by barely-adult post-teenagers, without the slightest idea of real world innovation cycles, and an infinite appetite for endless cash, or else we are doomed to live in the stone age of the pre-smartphone era.

Mind you, email is a very well understood and robust stack that predates the modern internet to some extent, and the web by a large margin.

Hats off to the Danish postal services, for what I imagine being 4 centuries of efficiency.

动物森友会,其实是外国人学日语的神级教材。

里面生活类词汇量极大,很好弥补了外国人抽象名词记得多,但日常细分名词比较薄弱的短板。

比如海产品词汇。很多人只知道さかな,喜欢吃寿司的能多记个サモン和マグロ。

但像图里这种ワカサギ、フナ、ブラックバス,大多数人就不知道了。

这也是上级外语学习者和母语者最后的一道鸿沟:母语者拥有成千上万的这类细分词汇,一深入某个话题,你学得再好也会傻眼。

此外,对汉字圈的人来说,动物森友会还有一个好处:对话里的每个汉字都有注音。

汉字圈的人学日语,看到汉字就明白意思,所以觉得自己已经会了,读音也懒得记。

由于动森的很多玩家都是小朋友,他们正好也不太会读汉字,所以里面的汉字都是有假名注音的。

这样,我们玩动森的时候,也可以像日本小朋友一样去记汉字读音了。超级好。

最后还是啰嗦一句老话。学了语言要想办法用起来、玩起来,才会又轻松又学得好喔。

硬背单词不可取!

最近在做日语语法题,gemini 最强,解释最清晰和正确, 正确率能达到95%以上吧。
claude和chatgpt,正确率不到50%。
perplexity 则是能「查」到对的答案和选项,但会胡乱解释一通。

그런 ‘미국식’은 없다…쿠팡의 ‘선택적’ 미국식 경영 www.khan.co.kr/article/2025... "그는 미국 시민권자라는 이유 등으로 공정거래위원회의 대기업 동일인(총수) 지정 대상에서도 제외돼 있다. 윤한홍 국회 정무위원장(국민의힘)은 지난 10월 국정감사에서 “김 의장 같은 경우에는 (증인 신청을 했다가) 암참(AMCHAM·주한미국상공회의소)에서 제 사무실에 약간 협박성 문자까지 보냈다. 미국 시민권자인데 국회에서 불러도 되느냐는 뉘앙스였다”고 말하기도 했다."

I doubt that anything resembling genuine "artificial general intelligence" is within reach of current tools. However, I think a weaker, but still quite valuable, type of "artificial general cleverness" is becoming a reality in various ways.

By "general cleverness", I mean the ability to solve broad classes of complex problems via somewhat ad hoc means. These means may be stochastic or the result of brute force computation; they may be ungrounded or fallible; and they may be either uninterpretable, or traceable back to similar tricks found in an AI's training data. So they would not qualify as the result of any true "intelligence". And yet, they can have a non-trivial success rate at achieving an increasingly wide spectrum of tasks, particularly when coupled with stringent verification procedures to filter out incorrect or unpromising approaches, at scales beyond what individual humans could achieve.

This results in the somewhat unintuitive combination of a technology that can be very useful and impressive, while simultaneously being fundamentally unsatisfying and disappointing - somewhat akin to how one's awe at an amazingly clever magic trick can dissipate (or transform to technical respect) once one learns how the trick was performed.

But perhaps this can be resolved by the realization that while cleverness and intelligence are somewhat correlated traits for humans, they are much more decoupled for AI tools (which are often optimized for cleverness), and viewing the current generation of such tools primarily as a stochastic generator of sometimes clever - and often useful - thoughts and outputs may be a more productive perspective when trying to use them to solve difficult problems.

朱立倫批評賴清德是「不知治國的獨裁者」,呼籲人民罷免他,朱立倫應該不真心認為自己面對的是獨裁政府,因為你應該是無法用罷免來對付獨裁政府的最高領導人。

國民黨和民眾黨發起「反獨裁」遊行,強調「反綠共、戰獨裁」、「全民罷免賴清德」。結果遊行順利結束,根本沒人擔心自己會被警察或特務抓走,否則他們應該會對警察暴行做好應對準備(如護目鏡、頭盔),甚至準備好遺書,顯示臺灣並無獨裁問題。

照哲學家史丹利(Jason Stanley)在《修辭的陷阱》裡的分析,「反綠共、戰獨裁」是一種「顛覆型惑眾妖言」(Undermining Demagoguery):打著一種理念價值,去推動毀滅這種價值的事。

他們有意或無意的混淆「獨裁」、「共產」這些政治概念,來批評執政黨,讓一些人認為現在的民進黨政府跟威權時期的國民黨政府沒兩樣,效果也類似,甚至更糟,一方面抹黑當前政府,一方面洗白過去的威權政府。

며칠 전에 건어물 여동생 우마루 작가가 왜 연재가 급하게 끝났는지 유튜브에서 이야기를 함. 우등생에 미인이지만 집에 들어오면 늘어지는 친동생이 모델이었는데, 그만 불치병으로 돌아가셨다고. 애니도 나오고 작품 한참 인기있을 때여서, 작가가 정신적으로 견디기가 너무 힘들었다고 한다.
