Once I heard the following from two Russian colleagues at works:

- Пить есть, есть нету?
- Есть есть, пить нету.

For more than a decade, I’ve been learning the language, for the art and jobs mainly, but that was quite hard to realize at the times…

Thank you, heartfelt…

Though, I see hope and peace, for some reason, at this moment, it recalled the following work: Introspection by Dane Forrest Obuchowski

Wonderful day!

Just in case, there’s a term in “anglicism”:

…word or construction borrowed from English by another language. Due to the global dominance of English in the 20th and 21st centuries, many English terms have become widespread in other languages.
Technology-related English words like internet and computer are prevalent across the globe, as there are no pre-existing words for them.
English words are sometimes imported verbatim and sometimes adapted to the importing language in a process similar to anglicisation.

For more than a decade, I’ve been trying to learn Russian, mostly for the art and the job I have. And, I did notice that there are words, in common/casual speech that do indeed include pure English terms/words, or even adapted from.
There’s a Russian page for “Anglicism”, too:
- https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Англицизмы

It makes sense, since it’s one of the most easiest languages out there, with straightforward rules, with some exceptions you get on the road, and rare/archaic words you get eventually memorized in your own dictionary.
The Email messages are in the common/formal form/template even, you may know, too! I.e., header/body/footer/signature.

For example, I’ll try recalling some:

- “гаджет” ~ “gadget”;
- “дилер” ~ “dealer”;
- “фрилансер” ~ “freelancer”;
- “комп”/“компьютер” ~ “computer”;
- “чилить”/“чилю” ~ “chilling”;
- “таск” ~ “task”;
- “бейба” ~ “baby”;
- “чика” ~ “chick”;
- “аутсорсинг” ~ “outsource”;
- “секси” ~ “sexy”;
- “гайд” ~ “guide”;
- “булинг” ~ “bulling”;
- “трабл” ~ “trouble”;
- “маркетинг” ~ “marketing”;
- “постить” ~ “to post” (social network posts/articles);
- “гамать” ~ “to play a game”;
- “клатч” ~ “clutch”;
- “дедлайн” ~ “deadline”;
- “бит” ~ “bit”;
- “байт” ~ “byte”;
- “клуб” ~ “club”;
…
- or even… “эйчар” ~ “HR” (head hunter, employer)…

These I recalled now only, and I do believe it’s possible to write/base any English word in Russian.
Though, nowadays, my main is English, I was born in Lithuania, and Lithuanian language does also feature such words!
For example, “skenuoti” (to scan); “baitas” (byte), “seifas” (safe/safebox); “clubas” (club); etc.

Such a miraculous magnificent world of language development!

I see… Another “quick win” makes a little sense then too, sorry.

This won’t last enough, I believe, and may result in permanent distrust even. The person who believed you will eventually realize you lied to them, and why should they trust you in the future?

Meaning, why start from a lie in the first place? A foundation built on a lie eventually collapses, and the people who trusted that lie are often the ones who get hurt the most.

Since you clearly have a message people value, that is, current terrible privacy issues, why not give them a better start, an actual path with a reason to trust you, the purpose and idea, for the long run by carrying the truth instead?

This makes no sense, sorry. Why would it be silver out of anything like stainless steel?

“Everyone Is Using A.I. for Everything” nowadays, a.k.a. vibe-living, and if you don’t, you’re a misfit outsider who should be stoned to death in the town square to prevent contagion, and then A.I. should resurrect you virtually from your data so you can be stoned to death in the virtual town square, for infinity…

Criticizing A.I. as a criminal plagiarizing machine that steals the work of artists without permission or compensation used to strike me as a bit hyperbolic…

The point is, I’m not saying all this to defend humanity. Humanity sucks. It’s totally terrible. I’m saying this because I believe in an old-fashioned virtue called Doing the Freakin’ Work.

Read the book, not the summary.
Write the piece, not the prompt.

Suffer like the artist you are. It ain’t easy, but if it were easy, it wouldn’t be worth doing.

Fudge AI in art, and creativity, or even technical responsible fields like programming.
And isn’t programming for human to control machinery, too?
I do still recall the book that featured Lisp, from MIT University we read:

Our goal is that students who complete this subject should have a good feel for the elements of style and the aesthetics of programming.

They should have command of the major techniques for controlling complexity in a large system.
They should be capable of reading a 50- page-long program, if it is written in an exemplary style.
They should know what not to read, and what they need not understand at any moment.
They should feel secure about modifying a program, retaining the spirit and style of the original author.

These skills are by no means unique to computer programming. The techniques we teach and draw upon are common to all of engineering design. We control complexity by building abstractions that hide details when appropriate.
We control complexity by establishing conventional interfaces that enable us to construct systems by combining standard, well-understood pieces in a “mix and match” way. We control complexity by establishing new languages for describing a design, each of which emphasizes particular aspects of the design and deemphasizes others.

It does not allow you to actually organize your own mind, to discover yourself, memorize, and learn.
Generative is empty. It’s noise. Do you like listen to and learn from noise? I don’t, and will never.

Obviously, there’s no creativity in AI, and especially in art.

AI makes no art, and there’s nothing to search for in it, also considering the amount of different people works and effort meatground into digital limited/sampled quantized data. It’s noise.

There’s no place for a machine in it, otherwise it becomes limited, lacking, and lifeless.
Art exists for people, us the humans to communicate with each other through time and narrow channels as general languages.

Again, fudge AI over effort. Effort helps to stay accountable, responsible, and to realize the significance and infinite marvel of art…
Art is of human for human.

May I ask, why do you live there? Family? Highly paid job? Have you considered moving to a more warmer part of the Earth?

Apologies, on Earth? If so, impossible. As we know, the whole planet rotates 360deg in ~24 hours. Othrewise, please clarify the planet.

Freaking awesome! I adore PHP! <3

Ineffably magnificent…

I see. Thank you! That makes sense. This probably also proves my point of belief highlighting a school as a system mainly not for education but socialization in education. A system to educate in society and learn critical/common skills to socialize while learning together - realizing/educating together.

Just in case, homework != homeschooling. Homework is one of the most important/mandatory part of general common school process, I believe, that lets a person some private time to realize and memorize the subject in their own pace, and prepare for following public discussions and development.

Wonderful day!

And again… I am sorry, but… why not just read about it, like… professional researches from both modern and ancient times, existing centuries… Why ask people to invest their priceless finite life time to, again, respond with a yet another set of written messages for the case of multiple expert/professional investigations/analyses around the planet?

It’s an incredibly responsible question for the parents/supervisors, and there are serious researches done for it. The answer affects the whole future of the child/person they will depend on all their ongoing life… and, hopefully, their own children…

A school is not a home, in general, I believe. And “homeschooling” is not homework.
One of main the main reason a school is exists is - socialization.
That is, gaining skills of creating social connections, learn to educate yourself and deal with interruptions and distractions in social environments with so different people, worldviews, and beliefs, in attempt to find yourself and your own identity alongside other people.

Since isn’t the most important reason for these to help a person to socialize and get used to crowded or accompanied environments, to respect, care, tolerate, or live and do their research within other ultimately infinitely magnificent unique people?

It’s for the parents/family to decide, since every single child/person is different.
I do normally stand against “homeschooling” (“wetdrying”) and push towards a socialized organization like University, School, Kindergarten etc.

The following is an excerpt from earlier discussions I’ve just found in personal notes (no AI/LLM):

Socialization process has a significant impact on learning, which is a basic requirement for both the organization and the role performance of the newcomer to the organization. It is considered very important for a new member to socialize organizationally and professionally. This paper focuses on revealing the process of organizational and professional socialization of academicians.

Friendships can positively impact students’ academic performance and grade point average (GPA) by providing emotional support and reducing stress, thereby leading to improved focus and better concentration on studies.

Peer connections and friendships often result in collaborative learning and the exchange of academic ideas, improving comprehension and retention of course materials, ultimately leading to higher GPAs…

Academic success is assessed by gauging academic performance in the form of grade point average (GPA), test scores, and overall academic achievement, as well as the measurement of academic motivation and the level of persistence among students in school or college.

Forming friendships with their peers is an important aspect of adolescents’ and young adults’ lives, and significant research has been conducted on how friends impact academic performance and motivation. Specifically, academic achievement and motivation have been found to positively correlate with belonging to a peer group.

Currently, young people’s need for a sense of community is particularly high, leading individuals to spend more time with their friends, feel more comfortable around friends than they do with family, and worry about how their friends will perceive them and how the local social milieu will view them.

Researchers’ concerns about how social networking sites affect different aspects of life, including education, are not surprising. Academic achievement has been linked favorably to social connections or peer interactions in the past.

Of course, in a large population, there are going to be some success stories. But we have zero evidence that, on average, homeschooled students are doing well. There’s actually no way to learn how they do on average because homeschoolers don’t exist as a visible population due to the lack of regulation.

There are claims being made in what is really junk social science that homeschooled students do just as well as kids in regular schools. But there is no justification for those claims. People making those claims are looking at a subset of the most successful homeschooled students.

They’re looking at the ones who actually apply to college and go to college, and are assessing how they do in college compared to kids coming from public schools. Those studies tell us nothing about how well homeschoolers do on average.

Most of the time when I overheard these women talking about their educational choice, and why they were doing it, the reasons seemed to have one thing in common.

Can you guess what it was? Fear.

A man can be himself only so long as he is alone; and if he does not love solitude, he will not love freedom; for it is only when he is alone that he is really free." ~ Arthur Schopenhauer

Our language has wisely sensed these two sides of man’s being alone. It has created the word “loneliness” to express the pain of being alone. And it has created the word “solitude” to express the glory of being alone. ~ Paul Tillich

May I ask, is the actual author known? I hope it’s not an LLM’s output…

Since the photo is received from the astronauts, it must be a reflection from their warm interior, indeed!

This image of home just came down from the Artemis II crew…

Of course they don’t. Anyone actually accountable, I believe, have their own researches on the subjects done, and instantly notices trolling.
We may wait now for copy-pasted or LLM-generated pros/cons, too, for a sudden “proof” no one asked for.

Lemmy trolls…

I’ve been into web-dev since 2007, I’ve been working with corporations who are processing high load traffic, including payment systems. I tell you that 80% of these work with PHP and have no major issues. Valve’s Steam is PHP even, and still does work, right?

Have you even considered Laravel, and Symfony? Optimizations as OpCode and Jit?

It all works and is stable. Not only that, but it’s easy to deploy and release since you don’t have to compile it every single time.
Depending on the team, the code is greatly organized, syntax is featureful and allows for both static and runtime/dynamic safety.

You, @Skullgrid@lemmy.world? You might haven’t yet worked in actual enterprise. You should get fundamental knowledge on the subject you raise your voice at.

I am sorry, but please do invest some accountable time and actually read something about the subject, prior claiming people are idiots and don’t do their own research of almost 40 years of life.

PHP is a perfectly capable and freaking awesome language for almost any web-dev and is lovely to work with.

Oh! You might as well ask your “vibes” about the trends/statistics around the globe at enterprise, make some comparisons, or well some valuable research etc. if you are not capable to achieve the same manually, considering your infant attitude to complex systems.

You do you, indeed.

P.S. We may wait now for copy-pasted or LLM-generated pros/cons, too, for a sudden “proof” no one asked for.

I did not ever initiate any such discussions, but expressed my opinions in comments only suggesting people to do their actual research. If they would, they would not say a word knowing how it’s all unobvious and intervened, where every single action is done with utter seriousness of calculation of required political, social, economical outcomes.

Yes, I did step on fields, with numerous colleagues I share my gratitude, support, and love to. Please do stay safe, dear every single Hero…
