トモダチコレクションのMii、 ちょっと気に入らないところがいくつかあったので手直しした！ 前より似たと思ってますが！？どうですか？

After the exchange between @NateSilver538 and @nikitabier, I did a little test to check whether that was true and, to my surprise, what I found suggests that link deboosting was indeed reversed. What I did is randomly sample 15 tweets by @nytimes between 2019 and today, compute the weekly average number of likes and retweets they got and plot the results along with a trend line. The idea is that likes and retweets are probably a decent proxy for reach and @nytimes only posts tweets with external links, so by looking at this, we should be able to see any changes in the algorithm with respect to how links are treated. As you can see, it's pretty clear that, starting around the spring/summer of 2023, posts with links started to be penalized and eventually they were completely nuked until the spring/summer of 2025, when a reversal of that policy seems to have started. To be honest, this isn't what I was expecting to find, so even if that's just a quick and dirty test and it's hardly a definitive proof, it's good news and I thought I should share the results.

Rule of thumb: if u can't consistently manten N1 it means u have a bunch of these gaps, whether it's grammar, vocab, whatever Casual immersion can be effective but it depends a lot on 1) amount, 2) type of content, 3) how observative u are. 3 has a lot of individual variation!

Esp when it gets to something you don't see as often. Like if you only read one book a year, how long would it take you to realize や否や and か否か are different? And ofc u can have lots of these types of misunderstandings and still pass N1 easily. Just gotta watch out.

Would bet anything at least half the ppl liking the Thomas tweet don't know the difference between や否や and か否か. Lot of ppl see something that looks like something else they already know and make assumptions. That's why I say u should study or look *everything* up.

April progress

Finally lol

peko-only N1 is possible. you need to be rabbitmaxxing

esoteric grammar point や否や found in obscure work of literature thomas the tank engine

hopefully u listened to me. see u for the next round

they do appear in professional work. it's just that this work is mostly in scholarly translations and not pop culture translations. if anything fansub culture resembles literary/scholarly translation traditions more than pop translation. it's kind of awesome

anyway I wrote about this like a few years ago

Buy now: Trump folds -> stonks go up WW3 -> it's all over anyway

Ironically enough someone who did this would not function in an office setting lol

I'm not saying you should but if you don't care about the language and just need it for the visa it's an option

You can probably go 0 to n2 in like 3 months or so by maxxing various things
