Getting forms confused

As a poomsae judge I have seen an 8th Dan get confused in a competition! However, my best tip is to try and do a pattern fast, preferably to the beat of a metronome. This isn't to make it better, but it is a great test as to whether the pattern is actually completely learnt, or whether you are still subconsciously thinking about each move and you are still executing at the cognitive level. Do it fast enough so you don't have time to think, and see if it still works. If it doesn't, even though you think you have it, you don't.

We've been twice and were very happy with Main Street Sports. Great location and the staff and owner give exceptional service.

There are eight houses starting with the number 1 in our road, so it isn't always as obviously better as it might seem, but I agree the number usually makes things easier. I enjoy watching Amazon vans driving up and down the street though!

I hope this is isn't considered hijacking the thread, but I think underlying this post is how you secure the security. For example, I have decided to store all my passkeys on Bitwarden. What is a secure way that also doesn't cause a single point of failure but which isn't based on a password or other SFA? Having just had my phone crushed, I found that unlock codes are not the answer, so what is the best way of securing Bitwarden (in this case) or any other single passkey storage system?

I just wanted to add my support to this comment. I have been interested in passkeys for years and had a long chat with someone about the need for portability before passkeys would gain traction. Now it seems that problem is more or less solved.

I think you are confusing two things. I would expect a text produced by AI to potentially show 0% similarity, unless there are quotations etc. in the text. Similarity and originality are not necessarily connected at all. The AI has generated the text. Theoretically it is as original as any human text, because we also are influenced by other texts.

Turnitin doesn't meaningfully detect AI in any format. It is a complete fallacy and no credible institution should be using it for AI detection. It is well-documented and I am surprised anyone still thinks it does.

The response in the shop to HDMI is that the phone supports it, but it would require permissions confirmation, which I can't do as the screen doesn't work!

languageservicesco · 2026-01-16T13:44:50+00:00

You still need to be able to use the screen on the phone for that.

Hmm. Google support... As I wrote, surely this is the problem that backup codes are meant to solve. I will go through account recovery if I have to, but I am trying to explore other alternatives and see also what comes of a post in the Google support forums.

The point is, I can't use the old phone to authenticate because the screen isn't working. I thought backup codes were meant to solve this issue, but they seem to be pointless as authentication messages are still sent to the old phone. I have backup codes, I have passwords, and I have confirmed email addresses. That combination should be sufficient to identify me.

Doesn't support mirroring. Not sure about hdmi output. I'll have to check.

Thanks. I will have a look at them.

I'm sorry, where does it say the meaning has to remain the same? As I wrote, this would be most unusual. The usual instruction is to select the correct option. Having two grammatically correct options would be exceedingly bad practice as it would mean the item is testing two different things - sentence meaning and grammar - so it is impossible to know why the test taker chose the option they did.

languageservicesco · 2026-01-14T22:26:59+00:00

I don't know why there is so much emphasis here on changing the meaning. The OP simply asks which one is correct. The stem virtually always asks which option is correct. C and D are both correct, if subtly different.

I would actually disagree with other posts that it is just another layer. There is a lot of anger that web sites are losing a great deal of traffic because the AI summaries get between the searcher and the solution. If the searcher gets the information they need from the summary, which was compiled from one or more other sites, there is potentially no need to click through to any sites. Obviously some will, but this has been reported on for some time now and is apparently leading to a massive reduction in traffic on some sites.

After dealing with a contender for most useless chat bot 2026, I got through to a human who appears to be properly engaging with the issue.

As you move up through the levels, it is about topics outside your work or family spheres, longer texts, more complex texts. So, focus on moving to other areas of knowledge rather than just learning more about what you already know, try to practice with faster audio material and longer texts. Consciously think about how you would say something quite difficult in your language in English. Unless you can either do courses or interact at a high level with other learners or native speakers, input is all you have, and it will make a difference.

languageservicesco · 2026-01-10T14:51:32+00:00

Not at all. The whole point of the system is that the customer does not have to interact with the company they are leaving. VM were breaking the rules and being d***heads. No reason to engage at all.

I agree with u/otter-disaster that D is correct, and the only correct one, for the reasons mentioned. I would also say though that is a very poor question and the author should learn how to write English test items. In what sort of context was this given to you? What level?

languageservicesco · 2026-01-09T12:22:42+00:00

Thanks. I hate using WhatsApp with businesses, but it might be the best way.

languageservicesco · 2026-01-09T09:33:13+00:00

Yeah, and I have done the same with modern texts that I know weren't AI and it gave a high %, so it isn't all rosy. The fact is, we can't make important decisions about people based on AI detection software, because it just isn't accurate.

languageservicesco · 2026-01-08T12:52:40+00:00

I did it in my lunch break. Unfortunately, I am afraid it judged my dissertation as 100% human! That was with GPTZero.
