Look up what people in Poland did to help Jewish Poles when the Nazis came in. Someone whose family was from a small town in Poland made a documentary about it maybe 10 years ago. Generations later people in the town were still covering up that their ancestors put the Jewish neighbors in a barn and set it on fire, and still strongly discouraging asking any questions. What happened to the property of the large Jewish population in Poland before the war?

People do help each other. Look what Denmark and Bulgaria did in the same situation.
Yeah, but which language and what exactly is a word? German has a case system where the same word can look quite differently based on where in the sentence they are. Do all of them count as one word or is each form different one?
So does D:

https://dlang.org/spec/pragma.html#printf

It was a huge win, at least for me. I implemented it because I was really sick of mismatches. (Although I was careful to use the right formats, when refactoring I'd change a type and then the printf's would go awry. Having the compiler flag them made for quick fixing.)
So, it seems a falling elephant wouldn't splash if it splashed into the river.
Price is supply and demand. Things have (or don't have) intrinsic utility. Value can mean either, as well as other things.
It sounds like the OP isn't even at a conversational level though. I don't know about where the OP is at because they don't get into much detail, but I do know of some people who have lived here around that long and can barely order their lunch in German, let alone have a rough conversation.

And yeah, I'm much more understanding if someone just has functional, but poor German skills after a long time. Mastering a language is a legitimately difficult thing. But I find it rather difficult to not be judgemental towards people who have been here for a long time and don't seem to have made any effort at all.
> Anki seems to be good for you to create a system where you do not forget the words you learned and keep being able to translate them there and back. But it is not nearly the same as making you "acquire" those words or making you learn new words.

I agree. Far and away, the fastest way for me to acquire a new word is to use it incorrectly in conversation. My theory is that the emotion of social embarrassment makes it stick (there is some research associating strong emotion with learning).

Maybe there's something about the act of using the word that also adds to the impact, because similarly, if I learn a new word for the first time in conversation, I rarely forget it. Words acquired via flashcards or reading or whatever take ages to stick in my brain, and then I usually have to go through another learning process it be able to use them effectively in real life.
Apple had a lot of backlash by using AI to scan every photo you ever took and sending it back to the mothership for more training.
Large scale and super sick perpetrators exist (as compared to small scale ones who do mildly sick stuff) because Facebook is a global network and there is a benefit to operating on such a large platform. The sicker you are, while getting away with it, the more reward you get.

Switch to a federated social systems like Mastodon, with only a few thousand or ten thousand users per instance, and perpetrators will never be able to grow too large. Easy for the moderators to shut stuff down very quickly.
I've never thought of a micro-lookup-table!

That's cool. What have you used those for?

> I feel that this must depend on the definition of "word". Are all conjugations of some root the same "word" in this sense, or does each conjugation count as a different word?

Even ignoring verb conjugations or other grammatical variants depending on the language, a lot of common words will have a whole bunch of different meanings (and knowing all of the meanings of common words can sometimes be more important than learning more words that are less common) so looking at the number of individual words is definitely misleading.
Yet they somehow lead the industry. I'd love to see Apple step it up, but it seems like you're just making excuses for them.
Thank you! And Happy Holidays!
No, they had backlash against using AI on devices they don’t own to report said devices to police for having illegal files on them. There was no technical measure to ensure that the devices being searched were only being searched for CSAM, as the system can be used to search for any type of images chosen by Apple or the state. (Also, with the advent of GenAI, CSAM has been redefined to include generated imagery that does not contain any of {children, sex, abuse}.)

That’s a very very different issue.

I support big tech using AI models running on their own servers to detect CSAM on their own servers.

I do not support big tech searching devices they do not own in violation of the wishes of the owners of those devices, simply because the police would prefer it that way.

It is especially telling that iCloud Photos is not end to end encrypted (and uploads plaintext file content hashes even when optional e2ee is enabled) so Apple can and does scan 99.99%+ of the photos on everyone’s iPhones serverside already.
What you're missing is that this isn't a relative position. Nobody in this thread (or much of anywhere on HN) is defending Europe or America's misdoings with the same rhetoric. The reason is that people are willing to accept that their governments make mistakes, and they reflect on these problems and fix them democratically.

Israel, currently, is in a position where a extremely nationalist and conservative ruling party has given all sorts of lawbreakers complete impunity. Violators of internationally recognized borders are ignored because it's a boost to morale. Hackers that sell their services without scruples are given a safe haven in exchange for access to their digital arms. And many people rush to defend their actions (or distract from them) because they tacitly approve these behaviors.

When you refuse to acknowledge or in any way address the countless and even admitted ways in which Israel violates international law, you somewhat tip your hand and reveal that you have no intention of holding them accountable even at their most reprehensible. This thread is about Israeli complacency in breaking the law. You are the one crying whataboutism apropos of... Israel being criticized in a public setting.
Besides Penn Station and the notable handful of similar examples, I’m not sure NYC has a historically bad history of this.
Do you have a source that covers the range [0] discussed in the video?

What I found (admittedly limited research so happy for any sources on the topic) suggests an effective target detection range of about 10 km and an engagement range of about 6 km [0] for such sensors, which would validate OPs assertions considering the initial examples were at more than double the distance and went far beyond (50km/160000ft) by the end of the video.

I understand that perfectly, but that's still isolation from wider society. Like living like a Gypsy or an illiterate Pakistani housewife in Northern England. Why would I actively choose that life for myself, when it's not the one I was born into? So I learned German. But somehow these people are happy anyway. And I don't get it. But I guess to be happy no matter what is a good skill to have, so I don't think I'm better than them or anything like that. I don't buy into this shit "oh you're in Germany you must learn because it's disrespectful not to", either.
Good! I hope they get every penny owed. It's an awful job and outsourcing if to jurisdictions without protection was naked harm maximization.

And meanwhile, if the government sells guns to cartels... no big deal. Rarely throw a fall guy under the bus. Or often not even that.

Trying to remember the quote I last heard, something to the tune of "we don't want to punish, we want to educate", which was about "educating" LEOs and entire police departments they shouldn't be selling fun switch guns illegally to gangs and private buyers.

Rather a lopsided article that misses the point somewhat. Humphrey Smith may be an eccentric and unkind loon, but Sam Smith’s pubs in London are far and away the best chain in town, by some distance.

Beautifully maintained or restored interiors, good beer, low prices and no music so you can actually talk to mates while enjoying a pint.

Humphrey Smith is stepping down by the way, and according to the barmaid at my local, his son is taking over. He’s apparently cut from the same cloth, but if he keeps the pubs the way they are, I don’t mind a bit.

It's the same solution D uses, except that it's a builtin type, and works for all arrays. I proposed this solution for C:

https://www.digitalmars.com/articles/C-biggest-mistake.html

It's hard to overstate what a huge win this is. D has had 23 years of experience with it, and the virtual elimination of array overflow bugs is just win, win, win.

I will never understand why C keeps adding extensions consisting of marginal features, and ignores this foundational fix. I guess they still aren't tired of buffer overflow bugs always being the #1 security vulnerability of shipped C code (and C++, too!).

This is similar to “shadowing”, where you listen to the text recorded in the native language and try to speak it as close to in sync with the audio as possible while reading.
Learning any language today is extremely easy thanks to ChatGPT. Just ask 5 minutes everyday ChatGPT in German, he will answer in german. It could be half an hour, or an hour.

Just ask for the things you are interested in. First in text, then using the audio interface. Use google translate to create the questions and to understand the answers if necessary. Over time you won't need it.

In one or two years doing that every single day you are going to be fluent.

For learning German I used Anki long time ago. I used Michel Thomas audios. But ChatGPT is so powerful, I would have learned it way faster with it if I could use it years ago.

A bit surprised OpenAI didn’t acquire coda. Solid leadership team and the product would be a nice complement to OAI’s current portfolio. Lots of AI usage will seamlessly live in productivity tools which means OAI is disintermediated at point of use by its biggest rival Google (workspace) or its frenemy MSFT (office). Coda’s tools seemed well built and available for a fraction of the cost of buying eg Notion.

In this context, this is dangerously close to asserting "people are only outraged about CSAM because they're told to be." I don't think that's what you mean.

Tricky. It also gives perpetrators a lot more places to hide. I think the jury is out on whether a few centralized networks or a fediverse makes it harder for attackers to reach potential targets (or customers).

I am not sure I see a technocracy as yet, and to me it seems the underlying philosophy is simply dark enlightenment. I find dark enlightenment is an incomplete perspective for determining any basis of truth and reality. Even if the goal is to optimize game theoretic interactions, dark enlightenment leaves one wanting in interactions where the other players favor cooperation and mutual benefits.

It was an eye opener for me to realize the simple fact that:

You will learn what you practice.

If you practice reading and speaking words, that is what you will learn. Unfortunately the language is not in its essence consisting of words (although that's a part of it), but sentences.

Also, the pronunciation is much more important than people realize, because it is extremely hard to re-learn a pronunciation you have learned wrong.

And this is why I love and have had pretty surprising results with Pimsleur.

As a testament, I did 7 lessons of Pimsleur Hebrew before visiting Israel for a conference. Talking to people in the elevator, I pronounced my "Ani lo mevin ivritt" with such a perfect pronunciation that they started talking to me full gas ahead.

I also did a few dozen lessons of German, and felt I improved my knowledge more than I did during 2-3 years of school study.

What I like with Pimsleur is how combines a number of very well thought out factors:

- It practices real world sentences that are useful in conversations from minute 1
- It drills down to the single individual syllable, to make sure you got the pronunciation right
- The correct pronunciation and real world sentences and topic in turn makes it much easier IMO to pick up what people in the language are talking about (I overhear my languages I study a lot on the subway etc now)
- It only requires 30 minute audio-based listening and practicing per day, which means it is perfect for a bike commute or daily run/walk.
- The spaced repetition works really great
I don't think I've had the need for a uniformly tagged array of enums. Generally, when I do an AoS to SoA transform that includes tagged data, I just factor out the tag into its own array. In fact, if the tag is 2-valued, I just build a bitmap, rather than burning a whole byte. If the tag is a resource indicator, then I have a group of 1-hot bitmaps.
It is by no means agreed that the violent ethnic cleansing of Germans from Czechoslavaka, Poland and other areas after WW2 was justified. You're just assuming it is and that everyone agrees with you on this. Most bizarrely, as a way of explaining/minimizing ethnic cleansing taking place in the current time.

BTW the Palestinians allied with the Axis powers and Nazi Germany

Some of their non-elected leadership did, but the Palestinians as a people did not.

Meanwhile, a certain very famous organization that was instrumental to Israel's founding (and which would go on to provide one of the country's more famous Prime Ministers) twice attempted to form an alliance with Nazi Germany, going so far as to propose a Jewish State based on "nationalist and totalitarian principles, and linked to the German Reich by an alliance".

This sounds counter-intuitive, but if you live with people that speak your native language, and you work in your native language, then simply being in Germany actually holds surprisingly little value for learning the language.

Why? Well, obviously it still takes a lot of time and effort, factors which aren't altered by being in Germany. You still have to put in private practise (which isn't helped by being in Germany - you can do this anywhere) and you probably need to seek out classes or lessons (which isn't helped by being in Germany - you can do this anywhere). You might want to seek out people to practise conversation with, meaning other learners, who you can also find anywere, although there are probably more in Germany.

Also, my experience is that it's actually very rare that casual interactions with people e.g. in shops or restaurants is helpful - they either make no effort to help with your halting attempts to communicate (or worse: I've had some quite unpleasant responses from native Germans, even when I was trying my hardest to speak their language), or they try too hard to be helpful and immediately switch to English instead.

Of course, if a person was to move to Germany, completely immerse themselves by living amongst native speakers, while focussing on learning the language, then yes it would probably help. But for most other folks where the situation is less perfect, it still comes to interest and motivation, and being in the country is of relatively little benefit.

Illiterate Pakistany housewifes are connected to other Pakistani housewifes. Their loneliness levels are lower then ours. Likewise Gypsies - they live very communally and socially. We are perceived as cold and non-communal by them.

So why not move onto the next level? I assure you at B2 and C1, the questions cannot be solved with pattern matching.
Fortunately Gmail tabs go a lot of the way to letting you mass delete junk you don’t care about. Assuming you do even a modicum of labeling stuff you might like to refer to or act on, deleting at least older promotions and updates eliminates a lot of things.
I am German so I know and have practiced with quite a few people learning the language, and I've also used Anki when I learned Japanese. I've broadly made the same experience in both cases.

Flashcards or other learning tools don't hurt, but they don't contribute significantly to fluency in a language. When I went to Japan equipped with my vocabulary I learned one thing really quick, I understood nothing in everyday conversation. Learning vocab explicitly maybe turns you into a great scrabble player, but it's an entirely different part of the brain compared to being able to parse and engage in natural conversation. Same thing when people learned German with me, what helped them the most usually was just listening and trying to talk. Vocabulary and grammar comes naturally. In particular in German, sentence structure and order is often quite complicated and a bit arbitrary, you're never going to learn it theoretically.

I actually like Pimsleur quite a bit in particular for beginners because it puts a lot of emphasis on just listening to comprehensible speech. It can get you over this annoying starting point of not having any media available to engage with.
