Ooh! It’s a Silvia! It’s backwards, but it’s a Silvia.

I love my Silvia, but I use Pop!

Oh, and… https://feddit.nu/comment/11221082 …I have and use an Aeropress.

Aha, yes. Somehow I forgot the difference interpretation for a moment. Oops!

I asked ChatGPT these questions and got sensible answers.

How much more is one half than one third?

[subtraction answer: 1/6 more]

That’s one possibility, but what about the other way to interpret that question?

[ratio answer, but expressed as “1.5 times as much” rather than “1/2 more”]

Oh. I just noticed the extraneous word in the search, which might be throwing off the LLM trying to understand it.

I agree with your assessment regarding the intention of the phrase. We’re back at the silly arithmetic meme that hinges on not grouping terms explicitly and watching people yell at each other in the mistaken belief that there’s one authoritative interpretation of an ambiguous string of symbols.

Still, the actual mistake remains. Why an extra 1/6 of the pizza? 1/3 of 1/3 is 1/9, not 1/6. That’s 1/2 of 1/3.

There are two meanings being conflated here.

“1/3 more” can mean “+ 1/3” or "* (1 + 1/3)“.

So “1/3 more than 1/3” could be 2/3 or 4/9, but not 1/2.

Instead 1/2 is 1/2 more than 1/3, not 1/3 more. That’s the meme I’ve seen go around recently.

1/3 more than 1/3 is 4/9. What you wrote is 1/2 more than 1/3, not 1/3 more of it.

Pitch me. I could switch, but it would help a great deal to understand more about why. I’m open to change, but not eager to change.

I’m very happy. I had the same early experience as you, but I kept with it. I’ve been using it several years now. When I’m forced back to vim, my fingers remember just enough, but I have to undo pretty often.

I kakoune instead.

I guess it’s time for a “mark this time so I can go back to it” feature, to reduce the need to pause. 🤷‍♂️

Now I know where to go when I feel like I’m ready for native-level input in Swedish!

I don’t need to win that badly.

0 is not 9. Look closely.

Yes, it was. I checked by unmounting it, then running the upgrade command, which resulted in a clear error message about the partition not being mounted. I don’t remember the specific message, but I remember it was different than the one I got when it was mounted. This leads me to believe that the OS error 19 message is some kind of red herring.

Thanks.

I understand the general concept.

I have also upgraded the recovery partition on this machine every 3 months for over 3 years before needing to reboot to make it work this time. I’m curious what might account for the difference.

Also, I’m not sure how upgrading a recovery partition constitutes updating a running system. I had not booted from the recovery partition. I was not running anything from the recovery partition.
