We've seen what can be done with the magical technologies of today, like misinformation abd mass surveillance. I think it's naive to assume self driving technology won't be used badly, specially when car infrastructure is already a "political" topic, having impact in city planning, budgets and stuff.

I remember this video by CGP Grey where the guy says like when all cars are self-driving cars everything will be perfect.

I remember, in 2016, liking the video, then time passed, went to Europe, and saw the actual solution to the problem. And now, in 2026, I see a bunch of comments in the video in the same vein.

I'm pretty sure it has always been that way. Isn't that the reason for the whole field of Software Engineering?

Wasn't Hebrew dead for like 2000 years or something until the Israeli state was set up? Not hard to have a faithful alphabet when your spoken language is frozen in time. Hell, even evolving languages, like Spanish, can have somewhat phonetically accurate alphabets. As said in the other comment, English is more of an exception in that regard.

Instead, I would go with cartoons or children/preteen's shows first. In adult shows, even when not R-rated, characters usually speak way too fast, or, what is most common, the voices are not mixed very clearly, unlike cartoons.

What worked for me best (for English) was watching Disney movies, the same ones I watched in Spanish.

> She was great, 60 years old at the time and had us repeat the lyrics of Rammstein songs in class, her favorite band

This is hilarious, like "Now, kids, repeat after me, 'te quiero puta'"

I remember reading something like this while talking about developing in C++.

(Not to refute your point, of course, I am just curious)
