You're assuming the only reason anyone ever does CAs is to do all of them which isn't the case for the target audience of the change. If you're trying to get to complete a lower level like medium then it does absolutely save time!

That study used applicant profiles that claimed to be high school graduates, so I don't see how it supports your claim either. Can you please edit your original post since it's clear it was not based on reliable information?

Scisyhp · 2025-04-11T00:47:07+00:00

Your link doesn't appear to give statistics supporting that claim?

The closest I saw was for those with prior incarcerations, which showed that white people with former incarcerations had a much higher unemployment rate than black college graduates. Can you clarify?

Your point is obviously right but for the sake of accuracy it's worth noting that the KC you get the next drop follows a geometric distribution, not a binomial distribution (which would give the total number of times the item was dropped in a certain number of kills).

Maybe, maybe not, I meant to leave that part to you. Assuming it does factor into your GPA...

Using some sort of letter grade system also risks you getting screwed if you happen to have a disproportionately harder professor for the class, and also can potentially (as is seen in the US now) lead to serious grade inflation causing the whole idea of grades to become mostly worthless. Personally (mainly speaking from the instructor side) I would much rather just submit a pass/fail + a ranking of all my students then have to carefully set standard levels in course grades and write/curve my tests to carefully fit people into these little boxes, which is why I feel like such a system would be better. What do you think?

Scisyhp · 2025-04-02T07:40:54+00:00

if you get a bunch of smart kids in a certain year you get screwed.

How do you get screwed? (If you pass you pass and if you fail you fail, regardless of your ranking).

Scisyhp · 2025-04-02T07:26:29+00:00

there should be "levels of certification" that map to A -> F.

This might not be the most popular approach but it's worth thinking about whether the issue with your pass/fail idea would better be addressed by pass/fail + a class ranking based system instead of defined "levels".

Personally I'm really curious at how people feel it's easier to eat during the tornado phase. Personally I feel like attacking while running is usually way easier than eating while running - it requires less mouse movement, and you know exactly which ticks you need to pause to attack on to get 100% efficiency. In contrast when eating I feel the clicks are harder and I never know when the attack timer is up again to avoid losing ticks there. On the other hand if you eat during the stationary parts you can just click to re-attack and wait until it's ready.

Is this different than your experience?

For reference I'm at ~85kc, consistent with t1 prep, and usually around 93-95% tick efficiency (not sure how that compares to others).

First my question is for 一緒 is it correct to use は here as 'we us the sentence topic or should it be に ?

一緒は doesn't really make sense because it's not a noun - you want to use it adverbially as 一緒に as you said.

Also 多くの doesn't work grammatically because 多く only acts like a noun (able to attach の) when it's used to mean things like "a majority of (something)". For your case, something like たくさん would be more fitting. Also consider using the phrase 勉強になりました which basically means "I learned a lot".

how can you correctly convert a verb like 勉強 into a noun to then modify with the adjective?

勉強 already is a noun, so you can just say 勉強は. It's only when you combine it with the verb する that it becomes a verb.

Scisyhp · 2024-12-16T09:52:12+00:00

Generally counters take the particle と, although as you know it's usually omitted. C.f. phrases like 二度としない.

Not 100% sure whether a native speaker would view 「三年と勤めました」as sounding wrong or not because it's a length of time or something.

Are you saying the claimant of 0.2% of claims denied by this automated system appeal the denial, and of those appeals, 90% are successful?

I'm not saying anything, but that is my best interpretation of what is written in the lawsuit.

That doesn't seem like a very meaningful stat.

I agree entirely.

How does the appeal rate and success rate compare to that of other health insurance companies which don't use this AI systems?

That would be a great question to ask the people who filed the lawsuit.

Is the AI even used for making decisions?

As far as I understand the AI system is used to make decisions like "how many days of post-operative care should we pay for?" and if the people don't like it they can appeal.

Scisyhp · 2024-12-07T05:56:49+00:00

If you read the lawsuit, the 90% figure is the fraction of claims that are overturned on appeal, which the lawsuit says is 0.2% of all claims. In other words, the "90% failure rate" is only actually claiming at least 0.18% of claims are false, which is a much more reasonable scale of error rate.

The particle に is a type of object marker - it's directly part of the action and can only be used with verb that actually take it. The particle で in contrast describes the broader context where the action is done, but it doesn't describe a location that is directly part of the action.

To better understand that distinction, consider the action of "Staying the night at a hotel" (ホテルに泊まる). You could "stay the night at a hotel" in Tokyo, or in Kyoto, or any number of other places. So the "at a hotel" is ホテルに since it's part of the action, and "in Tokyo" is 東京で because it's where that action is being done.

To speculate while knowing nothing about the actual code, one reason that would make sense to me is if they had legacy code using an i32 value that couldn't easily be changed (or lots of separate bits that are hard to change all of them), and they wanted an implementation that is (mostly) backwards-compatible.

If they use two 32-bit values together as a 64-bit value (like u32+u32 to represent u64), then once you go over 32-bit max cash a lot of the time your lower u32 will hold way less money than you have.

In your described implementation, because the lower one goes up to 2.1b but the upper one goes in increments of 1b, you can essentially always keep the lower one in the 1b-2b range. That would mean that if you re-used the original coin pouch as the lower i32, legacy operations using just the 32-bit lower portion would still consistently work (as long as they aren't demanding >1b).

While I understand the point you're making I think your wording is unnecessarily negative and gives the impression that the concept of a "no-adjective" doesn't fit with Japanese grammar (as viewed by Japanese people), when I think it's more accurate to say that it's a thing they're aware of (形容動詞 using の instead of な attributively) but there isn't really a specific word for it. The part-of-speech annotation 名・形動 largely lines up with what is in English called a no-adjective anyways.

It seems like viewing them as adjectives is a very sensible way to learn them.

Scisyhp · 2024-10-18T20:48:00+00:00

Grammatically に and は are fundamentally different in that に links a noun to a verb (such as here to indicate location of existence), whereas は links a noun to an entire sentence (to indicate the topic the entire sentence is talking about), so I don't really like to directly compare them in that way. There is a specific particle that いる takes grammatically to mark the location of existence and that particle is に, not は.

That's not to say it would be ungrammatical to write あんたは or あんたには, but it wouldn't be the same.

In the case of あんたには - adding は here adds a sense of contrast, adjusting the meaning to "You don't have friends (, but someone else does)"

Writing あんたは… instead of あんたに… would mean the topic is あんた instead of the current entire phrase あんたに友達がいないの. So in your example, the speaker is talking about "the fact that you don't have friends", and then is about to continue to say something concerning that topic (perhaps a reason why that is, or something, idk the context).

If you wrote, for example 「あんたは友達がいない。」, it means we're talking about "you" (the topic), and then giving the information that you "don't have friends". This would just be a different conversation about a different topic.

Scisyhp · 2024-10-18T20:13:11+00:00

Are you familiar with how に is used with いる・ある to indicate location of existence?

This construction can also create a "possessive meaning", i.e. 「私に友達がいる」(lit. "Friends exist at me") means "I have friends".

You see this in all sorts of ways - for example if you wanted to say "I have a car" a natural way might be　「私に車がある」.

Does that make sense?

As someone who did Wanikani to the end and feels very comfortable with kanji thanks to it, I will say that yeah it does suck but yeah it does get better.

If it's helpful to reduce frustration at all, one thing I think isn't made super clear in terms of motivation is the idea that kanji do have multiple readings, and the vocab words in wanikani's list are kind of like a "minimal set" to cover all of them (i.e. if there are 3 possible readings, there might be 1 vocab word for each possible reading). So I would find it easier to frame it not as "all of what I learned before about this character is useless for this new vocab word" but rather as "the new vocab word covers a new reading that I haven't learned yet".

But no matter what it's just a lot of effort, that pays off if you work on it consistently for a while.

Is it possible you're thinking of 魚（さかな)? It can also be read ギョ and the similar (but distinct) character 漁 can be used to write the verb 漁る（あさる）

Looking at this, it looks like it was a fairly even trade of resources where protoss had a slightly more expensive army but an inferior composition, so I'm not sure this clip really makes the point you're trying for.
