@glc > I find this literature irritating and opaque.

That's a promising start! (8

@glc Perhaps. I just hope this not another "X is/has/... Y" claim.
What's your favorite or most important consequence of this distinction?

@glc @gregeganSF @acowley No, bytes/tokens/words/whatever is irrelevant. The important part that's wrong in the "word-space" model is that it misses the context. The "language" part is a red herring. What's really going on is a tangle of suspended code that's getting executed step by step. And yes there are concepts, entities, and all that stuff in there.

@bougiewonderland @QasimRashid you're kidding, right? Haaretz is basically a branch of Al-Jazeera now, with all the narrative peddling bullshit that entails. Accuracy? Lol.

@tonyg but I'm up for more interesting tests. Just tone down our claims, 'right?

I sometimes feel like the academia is ad-supported - getting distracted into putting the glaze to the detriment of the substance.

@tonyg I don't like how they buried the models they did test. A had to dig into it just to confirm my suspicion that those were indeed obsolete. Kudos for Sonnet 3.5 for standing out though.

@aras Shifting enums are the worst. But then enums with the holes in them are also bad.
C enums -- a double-edged sword with no hilt.

@ericflo I had so much hope for it. Out of the crooked timber etc etc

OTOH maybe we have been lucky by avoiding some shitty ontologies getting baked in and instead let the content speak for itself.

@nivrig Meh. No concrete predictions or causal models. Classic punditry...

@tristanC > But at the end of the day, even though it is in fact possible to order custom designs from fabs like Samsung or TSMC, unfortunately, they are still very expensive.

You'd be delighted to know that tinytapeout.com/ exists (=

@light Using as "updating my nodes once in a while", yes

@nikitonsky what kind of a transparency report this is without even a mention alpha channels?

@abcdw I'm not actually sure... I just know Haskell's distributed-process cribbed a lot from Erlang and one of the features that got a lot of attention, up to improving the compiler, is the ability of sending closure over wire. But unlike Erlang that can just send its bytecode, Haskell had to send a function identifier (CAS for code part) and its closure data.
