I use ChatGPT and Claude to try to learn Macedonian, because there is only very little learning material available for that language. For example, they can (with a few errors sometimes) explain grammatical concepts or give me sentences to translate. I have not found a good way of storing a description of my abilities and weaknesses across conversations, but within a conversation they are good at adapting the difficulty of the questions to the quality of my answers. 
Unfortunately I’m not aware of any tools that can pronounce or transcribe Macedonian. 

Edit: I still do most of my language learning using Anki, Google translate and a book for learning Macedonian. Probably because using LLMs is not sufficiently gamified and because of the small inconveniences having to ask for questions instead of simply doing one exercise after another.

What is the definition of a Dyson Swarm? Is it really easier to define, or just easier to see that we are not there, only because we are not close yet?

That is assuming you live sufficiently long. The point in life insurance is to make sure you leave something for your kids/spouse if you die soon.

Why does the plot start at 3x3 instead of 2x2? Of course, it is not common to have games with only one choice, but for Chicken that is what you end up with when removong one option. You could even start the investigation at 2x1 options.

Retracting the comment because I have seen a couple of couterexamples, including myself!

The alcor-page was not updated since 15th December 2022, where a person who died in August 2022 (as well as later data) was added, so if he was signed up there, we should not expect it too be mentioned yet. For CI latest update was for a patient dying 29th February 2024, but I can’t see any indication of when that post was made.

My point is that potential parents often care about non-existing people: their potential kids. And once they bring these potential kids into existence, those kids might start caring about a next generation. Simularly, some people/minds will want to expand because that is what their company does, or they would like the experience of exploring a new planet/solar system/galaxy or would like the status of being the first to settle there.

Which non-existing person are you refering to?

Beyond a certain point, I doubt that the content of the additional minds will be interestingly novel.

Somehow people keep finding meaning in failling in love and starting a family, even when billions of people have already done that before. We also find meaning in doing careers that are very similar to what million of people have done before or traveling to destination that has been visited by millions of turist. The more similar an activity is to something our ancestors did, the more meaningful it seems.

From the outside, all this looks grabby, but from the inside it feels meaningful.

There has been enough discussion about timelines that it doesn’t make sense to provide evidence about it in a post like this. Most people on this site has already formed views about timelines, and for many, these are much shorter than 30 years. Hopefully, readers of this site are ready to change their views if strong evidence in either direction appears, but I dont think it is fair to expect a post like this to also include evidence about timelines.
