The author seems to be stating that because llms have generated "interesting" statements that all of Chomsky's approaches are invalidated. This seems to assume that the llm isn't somehow incorporating Chomsky's generative grammar system into the model, which would be a very hard thing to prove.

Also, the author's stated proof contains flaws. Take for example page 16:

Generate ten other sentences like "colorless green ideas sleep furiously": Purple fluffy clouds dream wildly. Blue glittery unicorns jump excitedly.

The author claims that the llm has completed this task successfully, completely ignoring the example's pairwise incompatible terms (colorless green, and sleep furiously), and accepting that "purple fluffy" is equivalently meaningless. It is not, and the model has clearly failed.

It mostly works, but gets weird when you have non-scaled content in the design.

Also wanted to point out that the user feedback in https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=249645 is not the way we should treat browser developers. (Not blaming the parent - I assume this is some other user being..... cranky?)

NPCs are the characters that the Dungeon Master (DM) creates to guide and influence the story, but the player characters (PCs) are the focus of the story. It's collaborative storytelling about the PCs adventure. An NPC is, by definition, not the hero.

Are you signed in and/or using the same device?

A) Youtube's terms of service clearly state "not for kids under 13"[1]

B) Youtube has produced a product for the younger age market [2]

C) folks in this thread are reasonably complaining that full youtube isn't appropriate for children.

Am I missing something here? (Like maybe your child was using youtubekids and still got the unacceptable content?)

AFAIK, nobody has ever tried that because of the dangers of vote buying and coercion. Essentially, gaming the system.

(I don't think this proves anything! Simply wanted to suggest that comparing search to democracy doesn't significantly change the analysis wrt opacity.)

In my career, I've been fortunate to work for a variety of companies that have obvious and direct positive social impact. I don't want to start a flame war here, but my last ten years have been in FANG, which I've found to dramatically magnify my ability to have a positive social impact.

Coal accounts for about 75 per cent of Australia’s electricity generation, followed by gas (16 per cent), hydro (5 per cent) and wind around (2 per cent).[1]

About 92% of electricity in Ontario is produced from zero-carbon sources: 59% from nuclear, 24% from hydroelectricity, 8% from wind, and 1% from solar.

I had a similar experience thirty years ago, after being hospitalized for ketoacidosis. (Fun fact: As a DKA patient, I found myself next to an attempted suicide, and noticed that med staff treated us both with disdain. Seriously bad way of managing health outcomes. But I digress.)

The experience in question was a doctor-prescribed insulin injection that the nurse insisted on injecting. I objected, but was unable to be heard. I calmly demanded that the nurse return at 11PM with orange juice to counteract the reaction that was inevitably coming. She did, and the crisis was averted. The next day the doctor prescribed that I could manage my own dosage.

Diabetes management is remarkably complex, and few medical folks know how to do it.

That being said, every decade has seen life-changing therapies introduced. The introduction of long-lasting insulins. At home testing for glucose and ketones in urine. Mixing insulin formulations together to reduce the number of injections at a time. Thinner needles greatly reduced pain from injections (this one happened almost every year.) Moving from urine tests to blood glucose tests! Introducing shorter-acting insulins that reduce onset time. GLUCOMETERS! Moving from needles to pens allowed crazy-simple and virtually painless injections. Moving from pork formulations to human formulations of insulin. Carb counting: previously we used fixed diet - eat the same thing at the same time every freaking day. INSULIN PUMPS!!! Crazy fast-acting insulin formulations cutting onset down to 15 minutes. CONTINUOUS GLUCOSE MONITORING!!! Tracking and alerting for low glucose, overnight and remote. CUSTOM-BUILT CLOSED LOOPING!!! Reliable/medical grade CGM. Approved closed looping systems.

Many folks have worked very hard to make my life more livable, and I thank them for it. Today is, without a doubt, the best time to be a diabetic.

That being said, I still wouldn't recommend it;)

In the last week from 08 January 2022 to 14 January 2022, in an age-standardised population, the COVID-19 related death rate in individuals that received a booster or third dose of a COVID-19 vaccine was between 3.2 to 9.4 times lower than individuals who are unvaccinated or have only received one or two doses of a COVID-19 vaccine
