<p>Gypsy seems to reference at least a dozen or so different groups of people in different languages (some languages use Tsinganoi-related version). Some groups use the word themself, others don't.<p>Most often it is the mainstream society living in stationary houses describing people living in temporary encampments with a different culture.</p>

<p>>AI lets me offload things that I don't need to know and frees up my brain to push farther than I could before.<p>How can you push your brain go farther than ever, when you don't use it for the basic task?<p>Higher Math does not work without understanding "lower" Math, running long runs does not work without starting on shorter runs. Thinking about complicated staff will probly not work, if you can't think about the easy stuff.<p>One can not learn a language without vocabulary and skipping learning verbs in a foreign language, because dictionaries exists does not bring one closer to being able to speak.</p>

<p>Yes, it is what I found works so well. It is easy to write short, specific functions in Elixir and adding Typespecs to theses functions is like typing a block of code. Within the functions everything is "easily" understandable.<p>Input

<p>>The smart student uses the LLM as a proctor or provide challenges and feedback on attempts rather than an easy button.<p>Yeah, this is how we used wolframalpha for Math as students. Whatever we had to do, we did it ourself as a group of three. Afterwards we checked with Wolframaplha to see if we were correct. If there were any difference between us, we went line by line to find where the error appeared.<p>It was helpful, because we did it ourself, but because the work was graded, we had the security, that it is not a total failure.</p>

<p>From the blog<p>>It’s contradictory to sit alone in a café. It’s against the reason cafés exist.<p>I had the same feeling as you. Why is it weird to do something alone ? - and like you I thought this must be an American thing. Mostly, because stuff like "eating out alone" or "going to the movies alone" was describe as weird by American authors before.<p>Sure, it's close to impossible to not "auto-socialize", when you are alone. It's one of the reason I like to do things alone. Either being a regular to the cafe/restaurant host or you get into contact with other people,</p>

<p>The very first sentence crashes and burns, because there are multiple moral systems and compasses. Using "imperative" in the context of morals is extra spicy, because it reference a very specific, very strict moral code - The Categorical Imperative.<p>The CI is, in my experience, not a moral system about personal or group advantage, but about rules the can govern everybody.</p>

<p>Maybe not learning a new language from the ground up, but I think it is good training to "just write" within the language. A daily or twice-daily interaction.
