Name a single programming language that is probabilistic in any way?
- BoorishBears 10mo ago- A text prompt isn't probabilistic, the output is. - https://labs.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=LABS:0:5033606075766:APPLICATION_PROCESS=GETDOC_INLINE:::DOC_ID:4510 https://labs.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=LABS:0:5033606075766:AP... - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stan_(software) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stan_(software) - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Probabilistic_programming https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Probabilistic_programming I explained in the most clear language possible why a fixation on the "programming language" part of the original comment is borderline non-sequitur. But if you're insistent on railroading the conversation regardless... at least try to be good at it, no?
- lifeformed 10mo agoI skimmed your comment since you were making the strange comparison that modern coding is basically probabilistic to a degree that prompting is, so I see now you weren't the one to say it's "probabilistic programming". But you are still trying to say that normal programming is basically probabilistic in some relevant way, which I think is quite ridiculous. I don't see how anything about normal engineering is probabilistic other than mistakes people make.
