退火 :)

(placeholder for a more analytic response. I wonder if the best sota non-assaholic LLM [loss-loss-models?] with accompanying pinyin would be able to translate your duilian to the basin of the global optimum

How would you use 惑 in the argument that Elon is currently targeting the Opponent's/The (USian) Men's 气?

Fwiw I'd imagine it's got something to do with en-/dis-couraging tangping

Apologies, a quick search reports the earliest appearance (天保* (Edo) era)

(Note the riverian(/internal?) boundary context) I don't know if the author was steeped in 蘭學

*欽崇天道、永保天命

(非 is becoming my favorite glyph, such unnecessary complexity and beauty (compared to the unmarked counterpart? 不))

Contrast that with the Chinese-favourite (with a Jiang ziya origin story)

天命靡常

with an internal 非 (<= internal contradiction/inconsistency?)-- this is not a natural abnormality!

Riverian connotations according to https://baike.baidu.com/item/%E9%9D%A1/8442635



So, actually looking in my dead-tree kanji dictionary yielded a small table of the differences between 非…, 不…, 無…, and 未…:

  非  negative judgement
  不  negation of a state or action
  無  negation of existence
  未  negation of existence to date (=not yet)
so I guess "unfortunate exit" is very parallel to "emergency exit" and my previous examples were more exceptional usages.


Dayum that sounds like a helpful dict. Other reasons for picking it?

Edit: the gap seems smaller than I'd expect when one sorts them by usage?

On Dulles.. I like YC's very parallel usage of "asshole" here

(helpful notation+ seems like they hired a cyborg (ofc) to do the translation?)

( in Dulles' intended context, both parties are (usually) assholes, and here, it takes some.. cycles .. to look out for the other ones :)


The main reason for picking it was the stroke index, because I almost always had no clue about readings.

A secondary reason is that it claims to be ordered more or less by usage, so we can also see what a ca. 1980s Gakken thought of relative frequency:

  不  134
  無  227
  非  491
  未  801


You could appreciate my throwing the recent-affairs sink here :)

something like “Unitarian Universalist.” Is UUism a religion? Is it progressive? Is it woke?

He didn't go all the way to "UwUism"; it could have helped clarify that he's still offering advice to Dems

re mi, how about the very riverian:

> "Big whirls have little whirls, That feed on their velocity; And little whirls have lesser whirls, And so on to viscosity." —LFR


TiL: gsf_emergency can no longer upvote you, wonder how that works :)


subwalled on gramsci gap btw — care to summarise?
