@ted_huang 'supposables' (noun, uncountable)
sup·pos·​ables \ sə-ˈpō-zə-bəlz \
deliverables nobody has or wants to commit to

@Taiwan_in_NL I'd recommend expanding 'VRC' to 'Volksrepubliek China' in future Dutch translations. VRC doesn't have the same level of recognition in Dutch that PRC has in English. Best to just avoid the acronym altogether.

@foreignersinTW Fact check: true.

@Afinetheorem This is important. Students tend to accept standards set by teachers, so set them high.

@ReutersTech Cute now, terrifying in 20 years.

@VladVexler One of the most freeing abilities one can develop is to see ideas and stories as objects you can play around with without emotional or ideological attachment. Makes reading books so much more interesting.

@taiwanplusnews This is great. Unironically.

@Afinetheorem Couple months later (sorry, I suck at Twitter) and I'm coming around to accepting AI is a great tool even for legal services, people just don't yet know how to use it responsibly.

@CindyXiaodanYu Also note there's a massive difference between models, even between 5.3 and 5.4.

@Afinetheorem Why is AI so spectacularly bad at law though?

[Tim van Iersel 易書廷 @Tviersel]

@foreignersinTW I haven't, sadly. I miss Shakadang Trail.

@Noahpinion Interestingly, 'PUA' survives as a verb in Mandarin Chinese spaces, meaning 'to (emotionally) manipulate', or even 'gaslight'.

[Tim van Iersel 易書廷 @Tviersel]

@kane Your phrasing makes me curious about the actual Chinese version of that joke.

@TaiwanNewsEN That photo is positively ancient, the Linkou mrt area looks nothing like that anymore :p
