So you're saying that statistic isn't notable if the entirety of education has less than 1 percent effectiveness... yes, I'd say that was notable.

> researchers have shown that images generated by famous GANs do not generalize beyond what the training data provides.

Was really hoping to get a source for that, as that is a very interesting proposition to leave uncited.

I'm sure you, the guy who writes snarky tweets and codes web forms, have a lot more going for you in the annals of history than an internationally recognized titan of literature.

Same kind of synesthesia here! fist bump (also annoying that chrome dictionary still doesn't recognize "synesthesia" as a word...)

One of my frustrations with synesthesia is describing the "impossible" colors when people ask about letters lie 0, O, I, or 1... In my mind these are simultaneously transparent, black, AND white.... but when you write out "zero", "oh" and "one" the colors are different!

And don't forget the "blurring" when you try to describe what color a _word_ is... Sometimes the first letter takes dominance, sometimes a middle syllable is particularly strong and has more color than the rest... where's the logic? ;P

That said, I wouldn't trade synesthesia for the world. I love having a free set of associations to help with recall and learning. The number of times I've remembered something because of its color rather than a more logical reason is too many to count.

Yeah, I didn't want to give negative feedback per se, but I wanted to share my gut reaction with you because those are just as valuable as thought-out opinions w/r/t conversions.

I admire the boldness and as a Linguistics major I can confirm the craziness of the word, re: standing out, is way more valuable than any imagined revulsion that I may be assuming.

Best of luck.

Simple? I'm no Puritan, but I'm hesitant about clicking a button that starts with the word "sex". I'm not used to professional high-quality services resorting to ... well, it's not vulgarity, but sex is sort of a traditionally taboo topic. So in spite of how good your product my be, here I am thinking it's more likely to suck because you broke this unspoken rule. But maybe that's just me.

The words are simple, but the choice to include the risky language is not 'simple', in that it's risky/innovative/uncomfortable/attention-grabbing (depending on viewer's perception). I guess a good word is 'unusual'.

I mean - linguistically speaking, it's fascinating. I really want to read this paper.

Okay, but you're one person offering an anecdote. We are going to need better than that for a discussion about a cultural movement.
