Amazon holds engineering meeting following AI-related outages Ecommerce giant says there has been a ‘trend of incidents’ linked to ‘Gen-AI assisted changes’

It turns out GenAI code changes are causing serious incidents and outages at Amazon with "high blast radius" www.ft.com/content/7cab...

Junior / middle engineers no longer allowed to push GenAI code to production without senior engineer review

So the most valuable employees waste their time scrutinising junior-level code line by line while the juniors learn nothing because they didn't even write (or look at) the code. Cool!

These are the worst to remember for sure. Looking through your list, I realize I have a default phrase in mind attached to many of the ones I do know, like きっぱり断った or うっかり忘れた. So it may help to learn these as phrases or sentences if you don't normally do that.

That was fun. Yeah, I turned my lights off and cranked the screen brightness up to 100% and maybe I spun my eyes around 360° at times because I sure am a sucker for internet points.

So you finally learned your port and starboard. Are you ready to learn your bowhand (弓手) and horsehand (馬手) next?

I genuinely can't tell if this is humor or proper duck science. And I'm surprised you had this specific image just ready to go.

It is, in fact, quite difficult to get your ducks in a row

I can never remember which side is the 目尻 and which side is the 目頭. Where I come from, eyes don't have butts!

I tried to think up a terrible (i.e. good) mnemonic "if it's an innie it's a 目尻" but nope WRONG AGAIN. Back to the drawing board.

バルサは仕事の合間、合間にジグロの顔をみにいった。

She goes to see how he's doing during downtime between jobs.

バルサは仕事の合間、合間にジグロの顔をみにいった。 She goes to see how he's doing during downtime between jobs.

It's a simple sentence but I enjoyed this double 合間.

Somebody who's good at languages please help. I've been stuck on konnichiwa for 15 years

I want to do it later this year. Still weighing my options but I'm leaning towards GenkiJACS at the moment (for a variety of reasons). I already asked them about the 1-year course and they told me I was too advanced 🥲. Maybe 6 months is more realistic, and it opens up my options too.

I've accepted the fact that I'll never speak Japanese at a competent level without some major intervention, and the best way to do that is likely by going to a language school in Japan for as long as they'll let me. I've been thinking about this for a while now and it may be time to take the plunge.

Oh this quote is easyfied as well. The full article has the original quote which reads more naturally.

日本語文法辞典

"Our goal is to work in a way that lets you have hope for the future." I.e, substance-free politician-speak (disclaimer: I don't follow JP politics).

The first half of the sentence I think you got. "We, who are the biggest opposition party, ". The で functions a bit like an "and" here. See link.

I think your misunderstanding is coming from
持つ - to hold
持てる - to be able (or allow you) to hold

将来に希望を持てるように
in such a way to enable you (the people) to possess hope for the future

することが
we will work towards

目標です
is our objective

It seems that several albums, which I had purchased with real IRL money, have completely vanished from my bandcamp collection. I shouldn't be surprised that it can happen, but it's weird coming from bandcamp.

I'm in the habit of immediately downloading local copies anyway so there's no loss for me

The first time I ever saw a cow in real life (strange thing to say) was well after reading this tumblr post and I immediately turned into pointing Leonardo DiCaprio meme.

This is that cow.

(Not a cow but close enough)

Your video player should let you choose your channel output which might fix it in the interim (screenshot is VLC).

Symptoms describe surround sound being output to a stereo device. Voice usually goes to the center channel which headphones don't (physically) have, so they almost disappear. I'd try turning off anything related to surround sound and work my way back up until it breaks (or just leave it off).

Don't expect anything to change in the near-term. But they are a for-profit company with 30+ employees. I wouldn't be surprised if monetization creeps in eventually. The only question is what parts.

For now, at least, none of the existing ones will be affected.

Anki's Growing Up Hi all, Anki’s 19th birthday was about 4 months ago. It would have been a good time to pause and reflect on what Anki has become, and how it will grow in the future. But I ended up letting the moment...

After 19 years, the creator of Anki is stepping down from leadership of the project (but will still be around). Sad times, but nothing lasts forever. It'll be taken over by a company called "AnkiHub" which may be more familiar to the medical Anki community than the language learning one
