Okay, rhyming is done. Now I just need to figure out the rest of the poem.

“There’s some legal, legalese you’ve got to work with, but everybody’s working with us on this,” he said. “I can’t even tell you how many different corporate America, Google, Apple, Meta, all these companies have said, ‘Whatever you need, Sheriff, they’re there,’ and we’re utilizing that leverage to get things done as quickly as we can.”
Am I the only one thinking it’s a chilling thing to hear?

The killing part is not necessarily people vibe coding programs into OSS projects, but even if the OSS itself is not vibe coded, people using AI to integrate with it will result in lower engagement and thus killing the ecosystem:
Together, these patterns suggest that AI mediation can divert interaction away from the surfaces where OSS projects monetize and recruit contributors.
From Section 2.3 of the reported paper.
- Comment on Chinese propaganda is rampant on the fediverse 2 weeks ago:
I’m sorry to say that lemmy is not popular enough to be on CPC’s radar.
The CPC’s propaganda budget is mostly focused on what Chinese people would read if they get over the great firewall (mainly YouTube and Twitter).
Second to that is the general “feel good” stories, like scenery, food, or panda (recently high-speed trains), aiming at the mainstream Western public. You may see those on lemmy, but it’s very unlikely that the state propagandists are the ones posting them here.

- Comment on Scientists have confirmed that a 26ft tall, tree-trunk-shaped organism, first discovered in Scotland in 1843, isn't a fungus or plant, but an entirely distinct evolutionary branch of life 3 weeks ago:
One of the linked papers thinks it’s actually horizontal rather vertical, as people have guessed originally.
- Comment on My apartment building gives me free water but I pay for electricity. What if I run the faucet nonstop and rig up a hydro turbine in my bathtub to generate my power from it? 1 month ago:
Why is it necessary for the water to go up and down to turn the turbine? Isn’t the pressure already added to the water and you can directly use it to drive a heavier turbine at ground level?
- Comment on It's easier to rhyme in Mandarin than in English 1 month ago:
Other replies answered what’s what. I think the reasoning for this many names is just there are many variants. After all, the current “nation” is several ethnic groups (many with their own languages) merged together for over thousands of years, spanning a large area.
- Comment on It's easier to rhyme in Mandarin than in English 1 month ago:
Native Mandarin speaker here. On one hand it’s true that basic rhyming is easier due to the regularity of the unit of sound and the number of characters sharing the same “final vowel” 韵母.
However, there’s also the tone system. Pronouncing the tone as it’s normally pronounced may interfere with the melody. So it’s actually very hard to write good lyrics that works with both.
In modern Mandarin music, this is usually done by relaxing the tone a bit when singing (the phenomenon is called 倒字). However, serious lyric writers do strive to achieve both goals at the same time. (Cantonese songs are especially good on this regard.)
Compare to the classical Chinese. According to tones, all characters are divided into two classes 平仄, which follows a specific pattern in a poem 格律. The poem is also the lyrics of a melody 律诗. So this system helps you to do both.

Not deep in the vtuber culture, but I thought the term comes from things like Love Live. The idols are supposed to be high school students.

I think rather
d/dxis the operator. You apply it to an expression to bind free occurrences ofxin that expression. For example,dx²/dxis best understood asd/dx (x²). The notation would be clear if you implement calculus in a program.
