And what a better time to set optimization aside when schools and universities are getting less and less students each semester due to population decline.

Interestingly, you dont consider your 'inverse' point: that now the manual part of teaching the stuff can (and definitely will) be automated with LLMs.

It will become similar to coding: humans evaluate, LLMs just provide what has been mechanical for a couple hundred years

Excellent motto, too good to pass a genuine appreciation comment

Can it be dangerous to use uv as it can cause mutations in pathogens potentially making them evolve even faster?

I assume the kind of uv used must be fatal, but is there a chance that a tiny percentage makes it?

Sunlight is the biggest UV source and at the scales we’re talking, manmade disinfectants would not register

Bad take, the more accessible is something to find, the easier it is for people to listen to it. And I think if you do music, you want as much ears listening to your tunes.

This romanticizes logistical issues for nostalgia purposes.

I did not live through that era, but his description makes me thankful i didn't have to go through all that to find my favorite music

> I did not live through that era

Then you probably don't fully understand where he's coming from, do you?

Definitely, but maybe that lets me see clear that is not that 'spotify killed the thrill of the hunt ' but rather 'i miss the old times', which wouldn't get as voted in HN.

In other words, clickbait title, not an interesting conversation topic.

OP, I would encourage you to take a sleep test. While it seems to be correlated with sound, it sounds (pun not intended) way too similar to my OSA symptoms

I can second this. The app basically shows more of what is proven to keep you in the app. It's kinda revealing to be frank: instead of getting mad with it just do some introspection.

Your comment is written as it learning a language was not a subjective experience, which could not be further from the actual thing

Learning 10,000 words is objectively more difficult than getting used to tones.

You can get used to the tones in a relatively short amount of time. If you are in an immersive environment for a month or two, you will end up wondering how it is that anyone can't hear the tones.

In contrast, there is simply no way to memorize thousands of words in that timeframe.

Spanish is such a blessing as mispronouncing a word rarely changes the meaning.

Whereas in Chinese or to a lesser degree English, you have to very mindful on how you pronounce stuff.

As a native Spanish speaker the thing I dread the most is grammar and the absurd amount of verbal times there are. Even native speakers don't speak with perfect grammar.

What does not get used, atrophies.

Critical thinking, forming ideas, writing, etc, those are too stuff that can atrophy if not used.

For example, a lot of people can't locate themselves without a GPS today.

To be frank I see it really similar to our muscles: don't want to lose it? Use it. Whether that is learning a language, playing an instrument or the task llms perform.

I think this explains something of our human nature that we would not even know we have: It is coded within us to help people in need as we can very well be there at any future moment.

Just think about it, we are a social species and without this type of behaviors it makes no sense for individuals to stay together. It is a strategy of our genes to keep successfully replicating.

But even so, I agree with the author there is something really spiritual about this: deeply contradictory but firmly rooted in our nature.
