From your link, it occurred to me that that particular 非 could be a Taisho(?) era outside-the-box transcription of "Not-"

(易經 -> The Man In The High Castle)

Which engine returns 朝 as "court"? It has to be very classically weighted, if you hadnt had it marked as cháo

[0] surely kaizen can't be the main way in which orgs fail to reinvent the wheel..

DeepL returned "Very much in the government, very much in the field."

Dulles seems to have been reflecting on a result of game theory that says it can pay off for an asshole in a positive sum game to attempt to take more than their numeric share of the positive margin off the table.

If kaizen is the way to approach local optima, do we have a single word to describe seeking global optima? (someone once said compiler optimisations would more honestly be called ameliorations; I guess that could make a "local optimum" also an "ameliorum" point?)

What's the usual connotation of 非? Thus far I only know it from emergency exit, so reading "not-" to form "unusual/abnormal exit" seemed perfectly logical.

EDIT: compare 非ユークリッド幾何学, 非鉄金属, ...

退火 :)

(placeholder for a more analytic response. I wonder if the best sota non-assaholic LLM [loss-loss-models?] with accompanying pinyin would be able to translate your duilian to the basin of the global optimum

How would you use 惑 in the argument that Elon is currently targeting the Opponent's/The (USian) Men's 气?

Fwiw I'd imagine it's got something to do with en-/dis-couraging tangping

Apologies, a quick search reports the earliest appearance (天保* (Edo) era)

(Note the riverian(/internal?) boundary context) I don't know if the author was steeped in 蘭學

*欽崇天道、永保天命

(非 is becoming my favorite glyph, such unnecessary complexity and beauty (compared to the unmarked counterpart? 不))

Contrast that with the Chinese-favourite (with a Jiang ziya origin story)

天命靡常

with an internal 非 (<= internal contradiction/inconsistency?)-- this is not a natural abnormality!

Riverian connotations according to https://baike.baidu.com/item/%E9%9D%A1/8442635

So, actually looking in my dead-tree kanji dictionary yielded a small table of the differences between 非…, 不…, 無…, and 未…:

  非  negative judgement
  不  negation of a state or action
  無  negation of existence
  未  negation of existence to date (=not yet)

so I guess "unfortunate exit" is very parallel to "emergency exit" and my previous examples were more exceptional usages.

Dayum that sounds like a helpful dict. Other reasons for picking it?

Edit: the gap seems smaller than I'd expect when one sorts them by usage?

On Dulles.. I like YC's very parallel usage of "asshole" here

(helpful notation+ seems like they hired a cyborg (ofc) to do the translation?)

( in Dulles' intended context, both parties are (usually) assholes, and here, it takes some.. cycles .. to look out for the other ones :)

The main reason for picking it was the stroke index, because I almost always had no clue about readings.

A secondary reason is that it claims to be ordered more or less by usage, so we can also see what a ca. 1980s Gakken thought of relative frequency:

You could appreciate my throwing the recent-affairs sink here :)

something like “Unitarian Universalist.” Is UUism a religion? Is it progressive? Is it woke?

He didn't go all the way to "UwUism"; it could have helped clarify that he's still offering advice to Dems

re mi, how about the very riverian:

TiL: gsf_emergency can no longer upvote you, wonder how that works :)

subwalled on gramsci gap btw — care to summarise?
