Quick context for anyone who isn't aware, rep there doesn't work like karma here: your question getting upvoted is apparently now +10 (used to be +5), your answer getting upvoted is +10, either getting downvoted is -2 (and costs the downvoter, they get -1), plus a few others.
For example, one of the uses for closing a question is to give the asker time to improve it based on feedback before people start piling on irrelevant answers (such as including more detail showing why it's not a duplicate of another question). IIRC doing so automatically makes it eligible for reopening, without even having to ask.
Another is that duplicates are meant to point at the best version of the question/answer. Usually this is caught when the new question is posted and it's closed as a duplicate of the older one before answers are posted, so you don't see GGGP's situation, but if it's not caught by someone who knows about the older question the new one can become better and then, by design, the old one is closed and pointed at the better new question.
During this peak popularity period, they were actively trying to stop people from flooding the site with low-quality "do my homework"-style questions.
It's to teach the user where it belongs, so they don't make the same mistake again, by making them actually go through the action of going to the other site. Otherwise by auto-migrating it they'll learn to just keep posting on the wrong site and someone else will do the work for them.
Not everything. Picard was command track his whole career, I think the same was true for Sisko. But Janeway started as a science officer before switching to command, and Archer was a test pilot. Their experience in those fields would sometimes be useful. It's similar to how Picard's interest in archeology was sometimes useful.
You have to know ahead of time whether people value their sleep over sunlight, or sunlight over sleep, to know which version makes the most sense.
> This is an interesting failure-mode to me, and I've been interested in how accurate it is since the inception of these models.
The term you want to look for more information on this is "model collapse".
In python, in a co-worker's code, it seems to significantly prefer "some_dict.get('key')" over "some_dict['key']". For the non-python-users, the first one will return None (equivalent to null) when the key is missing, while the second raises a KeyError. It was being used in a whole bunch of places that would cause problems (bad data instead of errors) if it did receive None. Some of these keys were actually optional and it does makes sense for those, but it looks like whichever model he was using just repeated the pattern everywhere instead of just where it was appropriate.
Unfortunately the Youtube upload of that performance seems to have been copyright struck in the past couple of months after being up for 13 years...
Pronunciation rules do exist. They're not perfect but if you know them you'll get the right pronunciation most of the time. The problem seems to be that they're rarely taught and usually just absorbed through exposure. Most people aren't even aware of them and just do it automatically because of that.
The standard gotcha word is "'ghoti is pronounced 'fish'" - except it's not. Ask a native speaker and it's nearly guaranteed they'll say something like "go-tee" or "go-tie", because to get the "fish" pronunciation you have to break multiple English pronunciation rules: The "f" sound for "gh" never occurs at the start of a word, and the "sh" sound for "ti" requires a vowel after it. The "h" also prevents the "g" from being pronounced like a "j" when it starts the word. I can't remember if there was a rule violation for the "o".
Here's someone's attempt at organizing and formalizing them: https://www.zompist.com/spell.html
Also the blog really doesn't help by describing it like this:
> If you’re familiar with JavaScript, this should feel pretty familiar. We define new functions with @function and specify the returned value with result.
Based on their other comments, they apparently do actually mean it like that: dog owners are intentionally using their dogs to attack runners, then claiming "self-defense" out of fear of runners.
I have never heard of this before, either.
Aside from this bouba question, Kiki is a name. I've also wondered why these two words are used so often when talking about the effect, when they're both much more easily associated with something than takete/maluma.
> Pointing out objectively true facts is not "mansplaining".
Different axis entirely, actually, but also tends towards being about objectively true facts. Mansplaining is a sexist term that's entirely about correcting a misconception, but only applies when talking to a woman. "A condescending explanation" is a non-sexist one-to-one replacement for it.
