kakes , to Japanese Language in How do I say "stay hydrated" in japanese?

I find ChatGPT is good for this sort of thing (+ fact-checking, as always).
Here's what I got - I also ran it through a few times and it recommended a similar phrase each time, which is usually a good sign.

Using "水分補給" (Suibun hokyū) on its own can work as a concise slogan. It directly translates to "Hydration" or "Fluid replenishment," conveying the message effectively in a succinct manner.
For a full phrase, you can try "水分補給を忘れずに!" (Suibun hokyū o wasurezu ni!) which translates to "Don't forget to hydrate!"

Maybe he was just committed to the bit by that point.

kakes , to Ask Science in Are certain typos/grammar errors harder to read than others?

Somewhat tangential, but I’m reminded of that “viral” email that made the rounds back in the day.

An e-mail that circulated around the internet about 7 years ago claimed that this is true by stating “Aoccdrnig to rseaerch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn’t mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoetnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteer be at the rghit pclae. The rset can be a ttoal mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit a porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe.” It turns out that many of the claims that are made in this e-mail are false; readers do display reading difficulties when reading jumbled text (Rayner et al., 2006, White et al., 2008) and no such research has been conducted at Cambridge University. However, the assumption that the exterior letters are more important than interior letters in lexical processing does seem to hold up in a laboratory setting.

kakes , to Ask Science in If GPTs only predict the next word how do they decide between "a" and "an". Wouldn't this have massive effect on their abilities?

They’re very good at predicting the next word, so their choice of “a” or “an” is likely to make sense in context. But you can absolutely ask a GPT to continue a sentence that appears to use the wrong word.

For instance, I just tried giving a GPT this to start with:

My favorite fruit grows on trees, is red, and can be made into pies. It is a

And the GPT finished it with:

delicious and versatile fruit called apples!

So as you can see, language is malleable enough to make sense of most inputs. Though occasionally, a GPT will get caught up in a nonsensical phrase due to this behavior.

Oh neat, not something I would’ve considered, but this would be a good way to get used to the numbers. Thanks for sharing!
