This is exactly what I use it for.


When I learned Spanish and had the opportunity to speak with native Spanish speaking friends I told them “if you love me, correct my Spanish”

I know of no other way, because there are lots of technically grammatically correct ways to say things in English, but sounds awkward to a native speaker. You can’t know really on your own.


There are lots of funny "why do you speak like a man/woman" or "why do you speak like a children's cartoon/radio announcer/train conductor" examples in language learning forums.

It always comes out that the learner speant to long with or only used one source for their learning.

As a counter-example, chinese ESL learners will often look for "American Business English" because our office speak is different enough from common speach and that is their intended use case for the language they're learning. They don't want to sound like they're announcing the news or acting in a movie, they want to sound like business professionals.


I get a lot of that from my wife and in-laws who find my zài nǎr amusing rather than the zài nǎlǐ they'd say. You always know who's a Pimsleur boy.


„I am groot”


LLMs now will tell you that all your farts smell amazing - I kind of feel my English degrading over the past years. Gosh I have to work on it more intentiaonnly


Some parks in Utah use a howitzer.


I’m a moonlit musician and this makes a lot of sense to me.


Kids are like management that way. Tough to get work done efficiently when they’re around.

But unlike management, you get to tuck them in and “I love you” for no reason is a standard bonus with a free hug.


If something like this is helpful or necessary, that’s what ram backed tmpfs is for.


Using a RAM backed tmpfs would be a work-around as to not trash your SSD. It's doesn't fix underlying problem. It's incredibly poor design on OpenAIs part.


This is the second time in my life I’ve heard of this book. It was a wickedly weird book. I think I was 1/3rd through it before I figured out the plurality of the characters.


But did it work?


as far as I know. She also had to do serious therapy and addiction recovery stuff, so it wasn't like she was magically cured of being addict simply by using ibogaine, in, case that is how my story came off.


I have a p50 or p51, it’s so heavy, just a tank. I think they called it the portable workstation. I have LOVED this thing. It ran any Linux distribution I needed, was speedy, keyboard never missed, it’s in a closet now in headless mode running proxmox.


A laptop to be carefully padded for protection... of people's walls and floors.

Getting a bit geriatric now, but we've had fun.[1]

I have a P50 or P51 and same. It’s a tank but love the thing. Mine is the model before they killed the drop on dock and I prefer that over the USB-C docks.


I loved the drop on dock.


I have used a few workstation models and I love them, even though they are tanks, the 15" models are a bit easier on the backs.

They get the memory and disk extensibility, replaceable battery, dual GPUs, with the dedicated GPU being a good mix of performance, OpenGL/DX/Vulkan capabilities and battery.


I went from a T530 (circa 2013) to a brand new P16s AMD. I honestly love it almost as much as the old one. It's the best constructed laptop I've seen in the last few years. Lenovo has really gotten serious about repairability lately and I super appreciate it.


I bought a P50 for my mother in law some years back to replace her desktop. It sits out of the way, lid closed, with a monitor mouse and keyboard attached. She still uses it and takes it with her when she travels.


I use it for visual accessibility but I won’t lie, I do think it looks way cooler. My first computer was a 286 with DR-DOS. That could have something to do with it.
