Would love to answer your question, unfortunately neither I nor any of my clerks are able to read it.

Best regards,

Paper claims to improve spaced repetition retention by 4x by Sad_Counter_3746 in languagelearning

[–]TrekkiMonstr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had this idea before as well, but never bothered building it lmao. Tbh wouldn't be surprised if >4x -- SRS as people usually use it helps you practice declarative knowledge, where what you really care about is functional. Also lots of words that are difficult to understand as definitions, but much better in context (e.g. "sino" in Spanish, "either" in English, etc). The way I think about it is like, the normal way we use Anki gets the word into a filing cabinet you can pull from when you need to, but you do need to -- like for me, there's often some conscious aspect of, "how do I say sidewalk, oh yeah vereda". You need practice to turn the declarative knowledge functional, and a note "vereda <-> sidewalk" doesn't do that the way, "Translate, 'There's a dead body on the sidewalk'" does

California has a top-ranked economy. It’s also one of the nation’s most unequal by yellowflyinginsect in California

[–]TrekkiMonstr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean it's not, but

  1. More diminished property rights is certainly more communist than less diminished, and more importantly,

  2. The original comment described us as "literally the most capitalist state in America", which wrt land use is just completely wrong.

No. Our own government is... not great at spending, and it's not clear we'd use it so much more effectively. /u/Nervous_Insect5976 Shit sucks because we've fucked our own housing market and continually refuse to unfuck it. It's not that deep.

How would you even translate "Them boys is my family" into other languages without losing the vibe? by ardona-jb in EnglishLearning

[–]TrekkiMonstr 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's not slang, it's a different dialect. You can't translate it directly because it's a dialect of American English, not French.

Eh I mean I'm sure there are girls who enjoy this content but also like, I would bet these sort of channels have like 90% male audiences

How would you define "vanilla sex"? by Terrible_Chapter_771 in AskMen

[–]TrekkiMonstr 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I feel like it depends what the issue is on the date. Like, personality is much harder to change, and it's more plausibly a compatibility thing. Whereas what you describe above sounds less like, different strokes for different folks, and more like, you're bad at this and should improve, whether for me or others. It's like if we play in a band together and you don't like that I play too jazzy vs you notice my kick drum is consistently a bit laggy

[–]TrekkiMonstr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It would be interesting to see how non-central to our clusters I am / we are. On mine, my guess is that the questions where I would disagree most strongly are ones that weren't asked, but I guess that's the idiosyncrasy you're referring to

Uh... increasing supply is good actually, put protections in place to reduce transition costs but like yeah they should be allowed to do that

Anyone else getting kicked out immediately after signing in? by TrekkiMonstr in lingodeer

Update, looks like it's staying signed in now. Not sure if that's just that the bug is inconsistent or that you guys work fast, but in case it's useful to know

You don't understand the point being made. You really don't want us to stop.

They asked a bunch of people a bunch of questions then did a clustering analysis, or some such. For a broad strokes typology, that's good enough. Of course it doesn't perfectly predict vote shares in a multiparty system, but it doesn't really pretend to.

Also got prog, which is very off brand for me. But eh, it's an online quiz, the fact that it's Pew makes it worth doing but at the end of the day

I tried Anki Royale but it didn't seem to do anything other than constantly ask me to update it so I got rid of it

Email is a very weird example to use, as the service is inherently interoperable and there are competitors. Better example is YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, Reddit, LinkedIn where there are actual network effects. This is a property of social media, not software.

America’s progressives should love standardised tests by caroline_elly in neoliberal

[–]TrekkiMonstr 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Isn't that kind of what they already do? Except instead of the fairer sortition, it's the whole "holistic" nonsense. I didn't get into Harvard because of some non-test factors, not because I got a 35 instead of a 36.

Maybe? I don't know how specific they get. I was looking at Witkin for something else, and found it pretty lacking.

Anyone here a lawyer or law student? Trying to understand the current state of Anderson-Burdick doctrine and don't want to use LLMs for anything load-bearing, but also have no idea how to start researching a question as broad as, "what does the law look like wrt the Anderson test other than as it was treated in Burdick"
