- Here’s a video I took of an eruption in June: https://youtu.be/BGOSSNy1hN0?si=MIFkW7MkRDxJ5tUr
- Wouldn’t all of the people watching this from Vegas and LA count?
More disturbingly, around 600,000 people in Japan.

- Yep, I meant to reply to myself. I was pointing out that the typo in my first comment could have been caught by an LLM.
- Maybe indeed an LLM would have caught my little faux pas, or perhaps invented a more eloquent one.
Watch out reader, by the end it maybe indeed turn out that Sumerian hasn’t been spoken for 10, 20, or 30 thousand years. The LLM just doesn’t know what sounds better.…Sumerian, written in cuneiform, was humanity's first writing system. A language that hasn't been spoken in four thousand years. The same question circles again: Why am I doing this? Why am I trying to learn Sumerian, a language that hasn't been spoken for five thousand years?…- There seems to be rather little evidence to back up this claim…
- I love the narrative storytelling here, but the takeaways seem somewhat obvious.
Lights on towers mean stuff, especially to airplanes.

[0] Fraction is ~ 1
- Presumably this little girl’s parents were arrested. What’s next for her? Hope she’s somewhere safe.
- Definitely the tunnels. Buildings would need to be made out of lead or something. No windows.
- Idk about all that, but the Smurfs are probably commies right?

- In case anyone else is wondering - Robin is the ex-wife of another prominent linguist, George Lakoff.
Somehow GPT-5 got this badly wrong when I first asked:
Er, no. They were married once and divorced 50 years ago according to their Wikipedia pages.Yes — George Lakoff and Robin Lakoff are related. They are siblings.
