As I've mulled things over, the one use of AI that I would really welcome would be as an accent coach.

Find a baseline for the accent, compare to the user's speaking, and subtract that "error" from the base, and repeat for the user to emulate.

I suspect that optimal would be to "overcorrect" for the user to hear, tapering off the amount of overcorrection as the user improves.

The latin course was put together by volunteers, who recorded everything themselves./

I was amused at how often I could hear the click when they turned recording off, although I don't know whether it was keyboard or mouse.

Shirley, you jest!

I can't be the only one who has to deal with drunken penguins on a regular basis! :_)

Bringing my Spanish back to speed was my covid project (instead, I ended up retiring really early!).

I was spending an hour or more daily on Duolingo, and progressing rather rapidly (I made it through the first level of the entire tree in two weeks). I had been borderline fluent forty years earlier.

Anyway, the single most useful thing was that each question was linked to its page in the forum. If you didn't understand something, you could look there, and usually find an explanation. If not, you could ask, and would often receive a response fairly quickly. On top of that, you could explain to others, which *really* helped.

But then they froze, then dumped, the forum, losing serious functionality.

And then to drive it home, that idiotic path.

First odd thing: I got my Spanish to the point that I could take the German from Spanish course. That helped, using Spanish as a tool.

Second odd thing: I that started the latin course out of curiosity and amusement. After a bit of that (a couple of weeks, iirc), I got a rather stunning and sudden boost in both my written and oral Spanish comprehension.

I dunno.

Isn't the stuff to change eyelid color called "eyeshadow" ?

I'm a guy; I kind of exhausted my knowledge of makeup in the initial post.

I've only had any, ever, for Halloween, onstage, and television interviews.

in fact, research has found that there is an *almost* (but not quite) dollar for dollar increase in tuition for each additional available dollar of student loan and pell grant. Iirc, one was 95%, and the other 90%, but it's been a while.

the idea of a remote control operating system *anything* on my pants, let alone the zipper, is, well . . .

just another reason to stick to button fly jeans!

this.

I only reluctantly gave up atavist for the weaker search but broader index of google.

But I've tried, off and on for several years, to use non-google search engines.

I think that that 80% is about right on usable results from bing/ddg -- but it's unusual day that I don't need to go to google at least once. For some searches, I don't even bother and go straight there.

what finally got me to change my default away from google was the effort of typing "-video:" (which also excludes ai) on every search.

in related news, still waiting for an orbital strike on the YouTube servers, but in vain. Really, how can you make a vive minute "video" on the firing order of an eight cylinder engine (the numerals 1-8 in some order or another) ?

I'm not clear on how that distinguishes them from progressives democrats, and third parties.

>Apparently this rouge editor has made 60K edits.

How does that compare to foundation and mascara editors?

Probably *way* behind eyeshadow editors, but ahead of lipstick editors.

But I'm just guessing.

the most relevant add for such a browser would be littlesnitch and the like . . .

*cough* cuecat! *cough*

err, is there a situation where calling you "serviscope" while speaking *wouldn't* be weird?
