Speaking of the web, IIS with classic ASP supports Javascript (ES3). Any number of languages can output to that as a target, making for fun side-projects.

You could even mix VBScript and JS in the same .asp file.

It sounds like an open-source project architected to accept plugins from the start makes it more adaptable versus a likely rewrite later. A small core that can be extended, or can fit its users' aims.

It would be really cool to see end-users embrace rules-driven engines. A little bit of data as pseudocode, a simulated input engine, and the ability to observe outputs before committing a change could build trust in the system.

Is the moderate view "strong opinions, weakly held?"

Why is control considered illusory for limit orders?

Sounds like we ought to treat models as primitives of a kind of software-defined CPU of some larger machine than a convenient, complete package.

Each round of the same has something different in it.

$199 for the hardware. Plans start at $55/mo.

Okay. Wondered with all the "Chat Control" stuff going on.

Is the "no surveillance capitalism" still true?

How do you prepare the fallback if it already took tokens to query the simpler model?

Usually writing small, in all-caps, except code: in lowercase, and the "t" and "i" retain their lower curve. Cursive is difficult; easy to write, but (later) hard to read.

Can see how penmanship there would be appreciated.

What about citing papers?

No, because we can't read the ending.

Took search for granted. It was such an early Internet before Google. "Surfing" and "downloading" were concepts to learn. Dial-up required a credit card.

LLMs are this generation's search, but I don't remember search being so reviled. Search opened a door to possibilities. If search were so resisted back then, it would have been a project to recreate the implementation. What did I know back then?

It may have paid off in terms of what is learned making a game versus playing one.

I just accepted search as the thing to do.

Is there a graph starting from the 1950s?

The whole thing `false or true' is sent in for evaluation, so if there is a side-effect function that returns `true', it is executed too. Because Elixir treats it as a macro and not short-circuit.

Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback [1] will be published next week. Hard to believe the technique is already obsolete.

Nit: the special uppercase A in "Abnormal" is also used in the word "Anthropic."

It's disconcerting most of the time. I follow the technical line of reasoning, and then it goes off into a kind of uncomfortable place.

Deferring to their experience, but thinking, "Is this what winning is?" And wondering if that is the natural endpoint of progression.

Demos can be a useful forcing function. Strategic use with high stakes, when successful, synchronize disparate stakeholders on common ground. It can also pull far features closer, and prioritize blocking bugs.

Switching the monitor worked. Wonder if an HDMI dummy plug, a virtual monitor emulator, would have helped.

Looks like there is a memory hierarchy [1] even in LLMs.
