<p>This was also my experience, one look at the full spec and I tuned out.<p>I understand that this is not the tool for everything but scxml, state chart XML, gives you something like this but something that you can actually read without investing time learning syntax.<p>It also has some plugins on vs code that allow you to edit it visually in case you don't want to write a bazillion XML tags.</p>

<p>Thanks for the information. I was aware it was originally an essay that was compiled into a book. And now that I know it's pretty light I'm even more motivated to read it.<p>In relation to your LLM comment, I was on the Wikipedia page for Frankfurt's Book and there is a specific mention of Bullshit of the LLM variety:<p>>Frankfurt's concept of bullshit has been taken up as a description of the behavior of large language model (LLM)-based chatbots, as being more accurate than "hallucination" or "confabulation". The uncritical use of LLM output is sometimes called botshit.[0] (at the bottom of the section)<p>This might be slightly tertiary but my interest in this subject has also led me to 'The art of being right' by Arthur Schopenhauer.[1] Which doesn't explicitly state that it's bullshit but it is rhetorical sophistry dedicated to winning arguments and debates. And many of the tactics in the book smell just as bad as any Bullshit. There's some modern reprints floating around and it's also a pretty light book.<p>[0]<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On_Bullshit#Reception_and_criticisms" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On_Bullshit#Reception_and_crit...</a><p>[1]<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Art_of_Being_Right" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Art_of_Being_Right</a></p>

<p>I'm currently reading "Calling Bullshit - The art of skepticism in a data driven world" by Carl T Bergstrom and Jevin D West.<p>Harry Frankfurt is mentioned in the preface of this book. And "On Bullshit" will probably be my next book I read on the subject.<p>Thanks for the share.</p>

<p>I use this prompt with chat GPT and A plug in that will do text to speech. I find just having some suggestions allow me to help formulate my own response. I use Windows 11 built in speech to text and verbally speak the options so it helps reinforce patterns for the language.<p>prompt:
I need you to simulate a Japanese conversation in a normal setting where you play the ai and I'll be the player. The player is given three options to respond in Japanese. The player may enter the number of the response or enter their own response and the ai will respond to that. If you understand give me a brief greating in Japanese AND the players first turn<p>> ChatGPT said:
> ChatGPT
> わかりました！こんにちは、元気ですか？今日はどうでしたか？<p>> Player's first turn options:<p>> 1 はい、元気です！今日は忙しかったけど楽しかったです。
> 2 あまり元気じゃないです、ちょっと疲れました。
> 3 今日はとてもいい天気ですね！
> ...<p>You can tweak the prompt to include any of the specifications that you listed in your post. There just might be some trial and error. I think there are some paid platforms on the Android,but this is what works for me.</p>

<p>I'm really tired to this might not make sense;<p>My pet theory is that Satoshi is actually named after the main character from Pokemon[1]. Which is also the name of the creator of pokemon[2].

<p>This is kind of the thing that's stopping me from learning Haskell. My first language is javascript and my fluent language is python. And, I just can't see really getting any work done quickly, fastly, and efficiently not in either of these languages.<p>Even though I am studying category theory right now I feel I have so little incentive to learn Haskell because I don't think I'll ever use it except with category theory. And I get that category theory is kind of like native to Haskell but I could still explore those concepts in a lisp but that compiles to Javascript or something.<p>My concrete example is the Haskell Web framework IHP. I tried to get it working on my windows machine for two days and couldn't get anything smooth to work. Granted I have rsi and cannot use my hands as much as the next developer. However, when new frameworks like fastHTML pop up where everything is on one python file and immediately ready to go, It's really hard to convince myself to go through the trouble and pain to get to the same spot with Haskell as I can with another language immediately.</p>
