@anderseknert Reading through the issue thread I feel like I’m living in a fever dream. People actually responded to this thing by trying to convince it to “rethink” its position.

Y’all. It’s not intelligent. It doesn’t have a position. It has no opinions or thoughts. It’s a predictive text generator with code execution submodules attached to it. You cannot convince it of anything. Do not respond directly to an LLM; it cannot interpret your words as anything other than context tokens.

Crazy.

@Dailingual Thanks for the insight. A lot of languages have been historically overlooked, so I would not be surprised if linguistics failed to attribute a word to Welsh when it should have. It’s important to point that stuff out.

That said, etymologies are usually very concise and give the most accurate or well supported theories. Unless there is specific evidence that the word is related to another language (not just looks alike), I wouldn’t expect them to have it listed in the etymology

@anatudor Both. We have hotdesks at work so my monitor resolution varies. Usually if it’s 2k+ res I set OS level zoom to 200% for that monitor. Sometimes tho websites are too small if I choose to keep monitor zoom at 100%, so I’ll temporarily use browser zoom.

On mobile the most useful thing is +/- text size; often pages have rem set too small for reading. I wish mobile browsers had a quick +/- button for text size more readily accessible. Only in-app browsers seem to have it with regularity.

@Dailingual Genuine question: do we know that the English and Welsh words are related? Etymonline places the word at 1805 American English but admits the origin is unknown, possibly linked to German.

“Gafael” and “gavel” definitely look similar. But if there’s one thing I know about etymology it’s that looks can be deceiving, so I don’t want to make any assumptions.

@loucyx Totes agree, I’ve been coming around to being generally unfavourable toward infinite scroll the last couple years.

Biggest pain point IMO is search functionality; w infinite scroll, you don’t know when you hit the end of your search results because the list just keeps going. If my search only has 5 results, show me 5 results. Then I can tweak my query to be more general.

@jaykuo I’m not sure if it’s just me/my device/my internet, but the images in this post are super low res and I can’t read them. So I went and found a direct link for anyone else with the same issue
