From that paper:

    There exists a class of questions in life that appear remarkably simple in structure and yet contain infinite complexity in their resolution space. Consider the familiar or even archetypal inquiry: "Darling, please be honest: have I gained weight?"

If you want to get a good result, the grammar should be following the expect output from the prompt, especially if you use a small model. Normally I would manually fine-tune the prompt to output the grammar format first, and then apply the grammar in production.

> Another reason I love Rust. It’s very statically analyzable.

Proc-macro in Rust is very tricky to analyze statically, some are even impossible (due to non-deterministic behavior)

Functional constituencies are part of the Hong Kong legislature. Imagine that half of the US Congress is appointed by the President of the United States.

> To keep this in context, the current Hong Kong SAR government is democratically elected[6] according to the provisions of an international treaty signed by the PRC and the UK which took effect in 1997[7].

Democratically elected ? Note that hong kong functional constituency system is fully controlled by CCP.

One of my friends used the same strategy to block DDOS from China : just put "Falun Gong" on there and it was resolved instantly.

New comment by rdescartes in "More challenging projects every programmer should try"

I would recommend choosing a long enough time (e.g. 3 months) to contribute an open source project you are using, especially you are not familiar to that domain. I learnt a lot from modern compiler stuffs by contribute to rust-analzyer.
