    What a bunch of bullshit. I’ve asked ChatGPT recently to do a morphological analysis of some Native American language’s very simple sentences, and it gave absolute nonsense as an answer.

    And let’s be clear: It was an elementary linguistics task. Something that I did learn to do on my own by just doing a free course online.

    That’s why everyone learning English should also learn basic IPA to be able to read phonetic transcription and pronounce words correctly.

    Just knowing the symbols for all English vowels/consonants is fine, no need to study IPA more than that, unless you find it interesting, like me.

    I recommend reading this Wikipedia article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_phonology.

    Just look up consonant and vowel charts here, you don’t need to study the details unless you really need to. Especially given that this article is full of linguistic jargon, and you probably won’t be able to understand any of this unless you have elementary knowledge of phonetics/phonology.










  • Frutiger Aero was best. Not only for beautiful design, but also there were standards people followed on making UI’s. Now everything goes. Last time I wanted to register on some shitty website it didn’t provide me any feedback that I wrote “weak” password (I copied it from KeePass), except literally green button that you could click like a madman and it didn’t do anything but went gray when password was “strong enough”.





  • It ws only like a decided ago when I had multiple amazing ideas for games and other software, only to have nearly none when I actually started to do some programming for fun.

    I think there’s only one game I would like to try making where I see it may have some success, but the idea is very vague and devil is in the details and execution I guess.

    I am pretty sure a phone from 10 years ago could do about same shit as my current one as long as it still had working battery, supported OS and non bloated shittified apps. Pretty much the only thing that needs better specs are more modern games, but I don’t really like to play games on my phone anyway (except old-school RPG’s and emulated games I guess).
