We know it s not exclusively in private, because it s very public.

But .. how do you know? It says it wrote code, but it could just be text and markdown and template. It could just be predicting what it looks like to run code.

Mine also gave me 42 before I specified 1-10.

Does it always start with 42 thinking its funny?

I think of it as supersedes the comma in the order of operations. You work inward, or outward (depending which way you read the list.)

For me, a sequence of sentences, strung together by commas, is more in line with how I output thought, and better matches what I believe my speech pattern is.

thats one use for it. supercomma is another.

Can they not invoke the defense act without the public spat? Gag order?

Since its unclear whats going on, Gemini first gave me some python.

import random

random_number = random.randint(1, 10) print(f"{random_number=}")

Then it stated the output.

Code output random_number=8

"This time, the dice landed on 8."

Code output random_number=9

"Your next random number is 9."

I would guess its not actually executing the python it displayed? Just a simulation, right?

Without reading every word of every embedded tweet, a part missing from the conversation is HOW they are strongarming.

It isn't in private. It's a public threat in the court of public opinion to apply societal pressure on the company. They are attempting to reshape Anthropic's decision into a tribal one, and hurt the brand's reputation within the tribe unless it capitulates.

I guess at a high level im thinking about what kind of running systems are the easiest to edit as they execute. Maybe I should have even picked clojure for being homoiconioc and not needing to be parst into an ast. The LLM can traverse, prune, graft and transform s-expressions directly with perfect structural accuracy.

same character, used differently?

i call it a super comma when its separating a list with commas within the sets.

so if i am listing colors like green, blue, red; foods like apple, orange, strawberry; and seasons like winter, summer, fall.

it's one use case for an em-dash, because whatever you have inside it has commas in the phrase.

square and rectangle situation. a supercomma is a subset of semicolon.

are there really places that a comma, super-comma; or (parenthesis) dont work roughly as well? I find the em-dash mildly abhorrent, even before this all.

Probably better could have described it as the distance between the pegs being the model weight, and the prompt defines the shape of the coin you’re dropping down.

I was half asleep when I wrote it the first time and knew it wasn’t what I wanted to say but couldn’t remember what analogy I was looking for.

Rust may be the darling of the moment, but Erlang is oft slept on.

As AI makes human-readable syntax less relevant, the Erlang/Elixir BEAM virtual machine is an ideal compilation target because its "let it crash" isolated process model provides system-level fault tolerance against AI logic errors, arguably more valuable than Rust’s strict memory safety.

The native Actor Model simplifies massive concurrency by eliminating shared state and the complex thread management. BEAM's hot code swapping capability also enables a continuous deployment where an AI can dynamically rewrite and inject optimized functions directly into live applications with zero downtime.

Imagine a future where an LLM is constantly monitoring server performance, profiling execution times, and dynamically rewriting sub-optimal functions in real-time. With Rust, every optimization requires a recompile and a deployment cycle that interrupts the system.

Finally, Erlang's functional immutability makes deterministic AI reasoning easier, while its built-in clustering replaces complex external infrastructure, making it a resilient platform suited for automated iteration.

Chromebooks are thin clients of sorts, its a web browser rendering google docs locally.

If anything is making them slow its the javascript bloat of modern webapps that could be doing more serverside.

It’s still the agent talking or the human as performance art.

My mental model for them is plinko boards. Your prompt changes the spacing between the nails to increase the probability in certain directions as your chip falls down.

If you think about where in the training data there is positivity vs negativity it really becomes equivalent to having a positive or negative mindset regarding a standing and outcome in life.

Honesty this is just language models in general at the moment, and not just coding.

It’s the same reason adding a thinking step works.

You want to write a paper, you have it form a thesis and structure first. (In this one you might be better off asking for 20 and seeing if any of them are any good.) You want to research something, first you add gathering and filtering steps before synthesis.

Adding smarter words or telling it to be deeper does work by slightly repositioning where your query ends up in space.

Asking for the final product first right off the bat leads to repetitive verbose word salad. It just starts to loop back in on itself. Which is why temperature was a thing in the first place, and leads me to believe they’ve turned the temp down a bit to try and be more accurate. Add some randomness and variability to your prompts to compensate.

He wrote this comment too?

Hack on iOS has a significantly more intuitive thumb friendly interface. Even just clicking a comment to collapse. Little things.

Interestingly enough when you tell Facebook you’re not interested in a post you can answer why: doesn’t match interests, spam, sexual, insult, don’t like creator. One of those isn’t like the other.

There’s a couple other pseudo-erudite slop holes you can fall into. One is scientific breakthroughs, one is psychedelic philosophical ramblings, and one is historical summarizations. They all kind of fall into a Ripley’s Believe it or Not style of trying to be mind blowing.

If you say not interested to every suggested post of something you don’t follow, it’ll try a couple topics and then revert for a bit to exclusively things you do follow.

It seems a lot of people havent heard of it, but I think its worth plugging https://perma.cc/ which is really the appropriate tool for something like Wikipedia to be using to archive pages.

10 year old article about Toyota realizing it was over engineering parts and making the cars too expensive and parts didn’t need to last as long.

I kept scrolling because the line in the article “It’s like, there’s one video on YouTube, and it’s your video” rung hollow considering the CD had two music videos on it and I played them over and over.

doesnt it just mean the ad isnt part of the context? that they are isolated from each other and the ad cant steer the conversation?

I get what youre saying, but I do think its important for them to point out the ad is sandboxed.

>Its e-commerce and wholesale operations are not affected by the filing because they are operated separately.

>The bankruptcy doesn't affect Eddie Bauer stores in markets outside the U.S. and Canada.

So its physical US locations declared bankruptcy.

For Apple to really win this space I believe they would need to release a cross platform Publisher tool and complete in the AMP space. Some kind of magazine design / web design software that publishes articles to a standard format and applies a layout over the top. Then the News app becomes a renderer/aggregator that does things better than the standard web browser.
