You know, many companies use the term "AI" when really it's just classic pattern matching. Classic buzz word selling. LLMs are much more wasteful than pattern matching. I guess AI sells more gravy.

Tonight I built and shipped my own personal Content Delivery Network
A FTP-accessible folder on a distant server with proper conf, a subdomain pointing to it, a root url added before every media link in my static site source code, and
voilà
Content
Delivered
through the Network.
Thank you, good night.
One of the world’s most inventive cultures should have a better phrase to define 2024 than "futehodo". https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2024/12/31/japan/japans-word-of-the-year/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #japan #nihongo #vocabulary #2024inreview #kanji #language #buzzwords
The year's top buzzword was ふてほど (futehodo) but some in Japan think it was a somewhat inappropriate choice. Looking back, do any of these winning buzzwords have staying power? https://www.japantimes.co.jp/life/2024/12/12/language/japanese-buzzwords-history/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #life #language #nihongo #vocabulary #slang #2024inreview #kanjioftheyear #buzzwords #language
“Futehodo” — a nickname for a TV drama that depicts the generational gap between the Showa and Reiwa eras — has been crowned Japan's 2024 buzzword of the year. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2024/12/02/japan/society/2024-buzzword-of-the-year-announced/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #japan #society #buzzwords #shoheiotani #language #nihongo #media #socialmedia #2024parisolympics
Japan's 2024 buzzword nominations list includes the slush fund scandal, Shohei Ohtani's 50-50 milestone, a hit song and a wealth of moments from the Paris Olympics. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2024/11/05/japan/society/japan-buzzword-nominations-2024/ #japan #society #buzzwords #shoheiotani #tourism #language #nihongo #media #socialmedia #2024parisolympics #mynumber
I just read that @EUCommission website on "web 4.0" and "virtual worlds" and I want to cry now.

There are some buzzwords that definitely grind my gears more than others. Two that come to mind:
- elevate : usually a hollow attempt at selling you overpriced or useless things
- luxury x, x being anything from a house to a soap bar : usually an attempt at making you feel like you are better than those who cannot afford this particular object
What are some of yours ?
Business-related words I'd be happy not to see ever again:
• AI
• bitcoin
• ChatGPT
• Claude
• crypto
• deep dive
• delve
• digital landscape
• elevate
• ever-evolving
• Gemini
• genius
• guru
• leverage
• mindset
• ninja
• slide deck
• superpower
• synergy
• x-figure business
What did I miss?

Having experienced both the Tokyo and Paris Olympics, writer and Japanese teacher Yaeko Kabe rounds up the vocabulary that caught her attention during the Games. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/life/2024/08/21/language/japanese-vocabulary-olympics-culture/ #life #language #nihongo #vocabulary #2024parisolympics #buzzwords
I'm sure I'm not the only one who reads 'HR speak' and feels that an organisation that uses any words like 'contemporary', 'agile', 'collaborative', 'incluse', 'diverse', or 'mature', is in truth none of those. #buzzwords #managerialism #weaselwords

Thanks for sharing!
P.S.
A few people eventually moved from #twitter to #mastodon.Suddenly, the old #buzzwords (*) of #stringtheory and #categorytheory pop up in the new, #distributed #fediverse.
(*) The above link is an example of a "history" of #physics that mentions #CarloRovelli but not #EnricoFermi.
Salient advice for these times:
"Have an API-first mentality: The API must be the primary interface for any new business functionality going forward - we need composable building blocks. Like Lego blocks but for making money, not nerds."
-and-
"Automate Automation: Someone once said, 'Less is more,' and I call that person a coward. [TORTURED SPORTS METAPHOR INVOLVING AT-BATS, FREE THROWS, OR DOWNS AT THE GOAL LINE] More is more!"

@WisdomExplained that’s what I thought you were speaking about. Terms in America have changed into simple, silly #buzzwords which is causing everyone to get “labeled” and it’s driving me nuts. I have some real issues with the DSM-5.
In a year of major crises around the world, Japanese voters pick the kanji for "zei," meaning "tax," based on a plan yet to be implemented. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/life/2023/12/15/language/kanji-buzzwords-year-2023-japanese/?utm_content=buffer2a8d4&utm_medium=social&utm_source=mastodon&utm_campaign=bffmstdn #life #language #kanjioftheyear #nihongo #vocabulary #buzzwords #language
I just remembered this oldie but goodie.
The Japan Series was not the only thing the Hanshin Tigers won this year, with “A.R.E” — based on the Japanese word “are,” meaning “that” — crowned buzzword of the year, after team manager Akinobu Okada popularized the term as an indirect reference to victory. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2023/12/01/japan/society/2023-japan-top-buzzword/?utm_content=buffera31b2&utm_medium=social&utm_source=mastodon&utm_campaign=bffmstdn #japan #society #buzzwords #language #nihongo #media #hanshintigers
