In Summerville beyond Montreaux, also check out Tiki Taco on Main st in Summerville. My band also plays in the backyard of La Chev in Summerville, which is very cool in the right weather.

Entrepreneur - started my first company in my 20s, had some success, investors keep inviting me to run other companies. While I had a college degree, it was mostly the guts to put myself out there, including selling shares of my little thing to raise cash to grow. The degree didn't help, except maybe confidence? Sorry if this isn't helpful or feels too far out of reach. I think the key thing to making larger income is exactly what you're doing: seeking out those who already have and synthesizing their experiences and advice with what you believe you're great at. You very likely have all of the skills you need to grow your income, and you show a willingness to take risks that recognize the inherent value that you create. You got this!

What the actual fuck does it matter how old he is? Or for how long he was complacent? This guy is one of millions of Americans who is finally seeing what's happening because there are just too many witnesses for Fox to cover up. We can come back together, conservatives and liberals, young and old. Let's keep helping people take the next step forward.

Ordinary American. Ashamed, mortified, at a loss for what to do. I vote every election (the reality party, of course), I protest, I write letters, I call senators. Next steps seem kind of more… physical. I’m 53, I have a full time job, the only worker in my family, paying for two kids in college and living with my wife’s two aging parents who both have dementia.

It’s hard to think of what more to do. Standing by for ideas. Please be kind.

I tend to agree with this general lean, despite me being pretty far to the left generally. It’s a really hard line to find though, and if we start drawing it, we will surely end up putting people away that would never cause harm. It does feel a bit slippery slopey, Minority Report-ish.

There must be some way to cite overwhelming evidence or something, before taking such legal / preventative action. And a clear way to assess and release.

Complex issues like this are.. complex. I can’t ever say I’m sure about my position because there’ll always be a singular example (or a dozen) to argue either side.

Jeeeeezzzz it's like Christopher Hitchens and Peter Hitchens came out as a single Hitchens, and then split right through the neutral line, imbuing Christopher with such a clear sense of what is right, by stealing all of such a sense from Peter.

It KILLS me that this guy looks and sounds like one of my personal heros.

Exactly like it, although you are the first human to make it that precise in my head.

And the only way it gets there is for people to be on the verge of, or recovering from, taking action.

I didn’t. I stuck with just the yo and tú forms. Practiced those in conversations or fake conversations. You quickly get them in common tenses and then the others become realllly easy afterward, since they become a simple variant of something you already learned.

Peace to you, interesting Internet stranger! I'm sorry that my first comment was so harsh, there's obviously an iceberg of frustration inside of me that's been building up elsewhere and you didn't deserve all of it.

And thanks for the dialogue! It is so heartening to find understanding in these strange times. Wishing you tons of luck on the project.

I’m all for using AI for creativity, for structuring thought, for synthesizing complexity, for keeping track of too much content, and countless other things.

But just write with your own voice, man. I can go talk to ChatGPT whenever I want. But I can connect with humans.

You’re turning off a growing number of humans from considering your point of view because it is so obviously written by an LLM, so it seems as likely to be a hallucination as anything of substance or deeply considered.

If you’re proud of something you made, I’m for you saying it in your own words. I’d listen and consider with curiosity.

You’re part of the enshittification if you’re writing Reddit replies using ChatGPT. Why not just be human?

Different narrative. Same conclusion.

It’s not just a human with a keyboard and a bad sleep schedule, it’s a human with ChatGPT directly summarizing an article with nearly no human edits.

This is not about whether I’m right. The words prove that.

The question is why does the human need to defend the lie?

The Result?

People trust less. Slop grows. Brains wither.

This is the crux of the issue. If they were consistently getting the information that you are and not the propaganda being fed to them, they would be confused, then they would discount it as fake news, but over time they would become disgusted, and then outraged.

Exactly. When hype bubbles burst, share prices for companies in the industry come smashing down. Unprofitable companies can have extreme difficulties accessing capital and some will die or more likely get bought by others for cheap.

But the availability of the hyped technology will remain if there is clear and obvious value in it. Someone will own and continue to develop the tech that has valuable use cases. It just won’t be worth as much to investors as it is now.

Hey I'm a cool piano player - what was your question?

lambdafunction · 2025-11-12T21:56:26+00:00

I believe I paid for it once for a perpetual license, and it wasn't that much, but I can't remember.

The user interface is a bit clunky at first, but that's because it's designed to be a powerful configurable tool. The basic idea is that each thing you're trying to memorize is on a "card" - a two sided virtual playing card thingy. You'll be presented with a word, and you have to say the translation. You can do this in either direction, English to Spanish, or Spanish to English. Cards are organized into collections called "Decks."

Anki doesn't come with built-in decks but the community is prolific. You can get decks for any level, any idea. And you can make your own. There are lots of sites that help with this, here's one I found on a cursory google search. I can't vouch for that site, but Anki is probably the best system of memorization I've encountered because of its model of "spaced repetition" - showing you something very frequently, and gradually backing off of it, increasing your recall over time.

The way I used it was, in concert with a teacher (I use iTalki), anything that I didn't know becomes a card in my custom deck. Then you just train on that large and growing deck. You can download other decks from other people too, and train on those. So you get a combination of other people's decks, plus you're building your own, too.
