We can't explain how human thinking works, and how they produce their (verbal or written) output. We can explain how LLMs generates this output. Humans can't be that simple, there must be some ~~divine~~ unique human…
The first Chrome did use a fork of WebCore, the HTML part of WebKit, as its rendering engine, but added its own V8 JavaScript engine. The speed of JavaScript was the main differentiator. And _that_ was very different…

Hawkings radiation doesn't tell you anything about the contents of the black hole, just that it lost energy/mass. That reduces the event horizon, so there is now a (miniscule) amount of space that has become "visible".…

Try "Emitted". That's what it did, with no analogy needed. (But, to be the devil's advocate: the fake can be said about the output of anyone participating here.)
> From the point of view of the system, this is an error. It is incorrect information. Which system? The LLM has no _concept_ of "correct". It emits output, based on its input and internal state. If that output happens…
Can you explain what that misunderstanding is? Deprecation is just a tag. You don't have to respect it. And if you want the project to continue, you can freely fork it.

Processor instructions are not _strongly typed_. They take bit patterns as input and output new bit patterns. The bits are untyped, the choice of operation decides how the bits are interpreted. Nothing enforces the type…
Yes, but for backwards compatibility, Unicode doesn't uppercase ß to ẞ.
I guess that's why you shouldn't be _validating_ things, and then praying them on as-is. "Parsing is validation" is (also) the idea that after validation, your data is in a format that reflects and enforces what's known…
I think "reflect top to bottom" is intended to mean "swap top and button". A mirror reflects left, right, top and bottom perfectly. It's front and back that it swaps. Someone saying that a mirror swaps left and right is…
The image you see in the mirror is a reflection of a human. Or, more precisely, a 2-dimensional projection of the frontal outer surface of a human. One half of one dimension less than a human. But sure looks convincing…
Ethics is what people agree on. Not doing unnecessary harm is usually easily agreed on. Don't exploit people who know less it's also on the list. Doesn't mean we didn't learn something valuable from KZ camp experiments,…
Stressful on the body. Odd hours, sitting too much, inhaling too many exhaust fumes, having people yell at you if _they're_ late. Sounds like a fairly hard job.
RegExps is the way to tokenize, so it's not surpassing you can look for individual tokens using them. It's parsing that's hard , for example when it needs to match up braces, or start and end tags, even if either is…
Models do not have assumptions. They have probabilities for what the next token should be. With enough context, in the context window and built into the model, that next token isn't completely random, it's correlated…
LLMs to inspect: - Simple robust syntax > - One obvious way to do things That always leads to more verbosity. Much syntactic sugar is a more specialized way to do a subset of a more general thing. Why have `a + b` when…
So the `+` is not _overloaded_, the `+` syntax is a shorthand for calling a method named `__add__` on the value of the first operand, with the value of the second operand as an argument . That is: `e1 + e2` is syntactic…
Hyperbolic title is, unsurprisingly, misleading. At least the article follows the style consistently. The "ghost cut" is a two-step text move. A perfectly fine operation to have, _because_ it's not the same as a cut…
Probably don't care. I have no idea what "randoseru" means, or what kind of backpack it is. Looking it up, it seems to be a design that carries special meaning in Japan, and not really anywhere else. While other…
The distinction is not physical vs (entirely) digital. If you buy games at GOG, you get entirely non-physical products, but you own and control those bits. You can download the game and keep playing it as long as you…
