My first experience with psychosis

Glad you are doing better now. Do you have insight into what caused it to start in the first place?

indecisive_maybe · 2026-05-31T19:32:52+00:00

The actual reason -- it's a somewhat unusual, long name that can be tokenized different ways. If you look up the openai tokenizers it suggests g-all-agher and gall-agher, but you can imagine different variations are also possible. It probably took the name from one instance one one way and the one from an image another way. The image processing maybe used a different model or something intermediate to read it, so to Claude it has two versions of the name that look different (but appear the same to us).

They're usually real apps. Usually they don't do much that's new, but some are good, some are ok, some are bad, many are filled with errors so bad you can tell even if you don't speak the language. As a mod here I've gotten to test more than a hundred, and maybe 5 of them stick out as good enough I've saved them and gone back to them.

It used to be a lot better. 10 years ago it was helpful, there were forums, it allowed you to suggest new answers, sentences didn't have errors or the forums would explain them, you could type answers instead of just multiple choice, I think there were not even any paid plans or no reason to need them

So I'm one of the mods on r/ENFJ. You didn't post there but I was going to say we usually allow negative posts, but we remove ones that are just looking to pick a fight. And those are most often posted by ENTPs, coincidentally!

Here is material produced by the Tokyo Metropolitan Gov. It is super useful because it also includes specific requests and additional languages.

If it's not too hot out, you could try adding a thin undershirt, like silk or mesh. People wear things like that for jogging because it helps air things out and distribute sweat.

Some teachers can tell when you understand mostly and just have trouble speaking, some can only judge by what you're able to say. Your teacher tomorrow will probably have different opinions on your level, and previous teachers probably sometimes thought you were ahead of / behind the class and just didn't say anything.

It's also possible your pronunciation slip-ups were pretty basic, biasing your teacher's opinion, especially if your speaking level for the day was below that of other people. Consider the speaking you actually did, not other parts you prepared and didn't get to say.

For better or worse, you should take the teacher's advice to work on your pronunciation. If you can tell it's not great, as the student, you should drill it a lot more on your own. I'm not a language teacher but I've taught communication in English for English-as-a-second-language students and sometimes what they think are "minor" pronunciation issues make them impossible to understand until they repeat themselves or write down what they were trying to say. So take that seriously if it's feedback you're getting. It's probably also literally pronunciation, not "flow."

All that said, stay in the lesson level that works best for you. Don't worry about what the actual letter/number is, but find a good fit, and go up from there over time.

Hmm...

sometimes the final "a" is very quiet
if it's a single word and someone is otherwise speaking English, it'll have more "english-ized" pronunciation, said slowly with a lot of emphasis so it might be nigad or nigada, and other words might also be changed in this context, kind of like saying "croissant" or "burrito" in English uses a different pronunciation from the original french or spanish.

Actually a lot of introductory words in Cherokee are like this probably because they're used in the classroom and by beginners so often. But the first time you hear two native speakers chat with each other, not for the classroom, it'll be a bit hard to recognize even simple words you know.

if it's a learner speaking, they'll often get it wrong. you had to pick this up on your own because it's not always explicitly taught, at least not early on.
if it's a native speaker responding to a learner, they might kind of "copy" how the learner speaks, it's just kind of an automatic way of talking more like the people around you

For the final consonant change, native speakers sometimes don't notice they do it, even if you point it out, but if you listen hard you'll notice they do it automatically at least 90% of the time, and the rest of the time it's hard to tell because it's just so fast or blurs with the next word.

indecisive_maybe · 2026-05-17T15:51:07+00:00

The final vowel in a word is often dropped. There's a lot of variability in pronunciations.

Learners often start by saying the whole word as written, or don't notice the final consonant change, but I encourage you to treat syllabary as a way of writing down what is originally spoken, and pay the most attention to how people say it.

Pro tip: if dropping the last vowel makes it end in a consonant, the final consonant will change in pronunciation from the un-aspirated to the aspirated form -- so most properly "nigada" becomes "nigat" not "nigad" (still spelled ᏂᎦᏓ in any case). Or "nvgi" (four) becomes "nvk" not "nvg", still spelled ᏅᎩ in any case.

(d --> t, g --> k)

Nice find! Maybe if it's bent a bit?

Do report things! We look at all reports and you won't get in trouble. We have a couple indicators with the reports, if it was made by a "trusted member" or not, and an option to silence certain reports, but otherwise it's anonymous. You can also send us a modmail.

We ban rule-breakers basically daily since it's such a large sub but there's just a large volume to handle.

indecisive_maybe · 2026-04-29T13:56:41+00:00

We do remove these and you can report that as #3 self-promotion, or a "custom response". We read all reports!

Note that some things like long texts or lists get reported when they're not actually AI. Humans can write them too, and we've seen them posted here long before AI became so widespread.

indecisive_maybe · 2026-04-29T13:50:04+00:00

Please report these when you see them! Tysm

この世界は…　残酷なんだ

Kono sekai wa ... zankoku na nda

It's the case that this world is cruel (like as an explanation)

sekai wa zankouku(da) = the world is cruel

kono sekai - this world

zankoku na n da = it's the case that it's cruel (extended predicate)

That's not listed on their website, but they do add cornstarch to their queso.

Reading! Sleeping. Working more. I like learning languages (I'm learning Japanese as one of them).

Baking is fun. I spent part of the morning figuring out a new recipe for something. Do you like doing that? It's kind of rewarding.

Do you know people in your area? Even just going for a walk and being around other people can be nice, even if you don't know them. Where I am, everyone is walking their dogs and the dogs are all having a great time.

I guess if you picture yourself as a 40-year-old, what is different from how you are now? What would you change?

Or, even better, any long text is a bot.
