DecisionMe is one the apps I created using htmx. I am not the owner of the company, so I cannot comp you, but I can promise in good faith: this is not a toy app.

I have the same problem. I guess we will just have to train our own SLM with a carefully selected (unpolluted) training corpus.

Just what I needed. I will be trying it out thx

nice and clean. FYI the source link is broken.

On effect size: my primary goal at this stage is falsification. If French and English models show no meaningful differences at matched compute, that's informative: it would support the scaling hypothesis. If they do differ, I'll n

This is great, thanks for the link. IMHO it actually supports the broader claim: if ICL emerges in both language models and genomic models, it suggests the phenomenon actually is about structure in the data, not something special about neur

interesting idea. I will try it out and feedback as soon as I can squeeze out a few moments

Thank you for the Leiden references. I hadn't encountered this framework before. The "language symbiont" framing resonates with what I've been circling around: a system that operates with its own logic, sometimes orthogo

The confound concern is fair: no cross-linguistic comparison is perfectly controlled. The bet is that the effect size (if any) will be large enough to be informative despite the noise. But you're right that it's not ceteris paribu

These are good points that sharpen the hypothesis. The word order question is interesting — positional encoding vs morphological encoding might have different computational properties for a parser. One difference I'm betting on: morpho

Incredibly, I had not thought to use that data set. Now I will. Thanks.

I don't think we're far apart. My claim isn't that Level 1 is "mere reflex". It's that language can produce effects at a level that operates independently of (and sometimes in opposition to) conscious evaluatio

The hypnotism worked. There was an unconscious process at work whose relationship to the words was completely different from my conscious reaction.

The dyslexia point is interesting; yes, English orthography causes more reading disorders than languages with more regular spelling-to-sound mappings (Italian, Finnish, etc.). That's consistent with the parser having to work harder whe

The body of knowledge on Ericksonian hypnotherapy is pretty clear that the effect of language on Level 1 is orthogonal to, and sometimes even opposed to, conscious processes. I became interested after being medically hypnotized for kidney s

The disanalogy you quote might actually be the key insight. What if language operates at two levels, like Kahneman's System 1/2? Level 1: Nearly autonomic — pattern-matched language that acts directly on the nervous system. Eviden

There's an interesting falsifiable prediction lurking here. If the language network is essentially a parser/decoder that exploits statistical regularities in language structure, then languages with richer morphological marking (mo

Fair point on UB — LLMs absolutely do not reason about it (or anything else). They just reproduce the lowest-common-denominator patterns that happened to survive in the wild. I’m not claiming the generated C is “safe” or even close. I am su

by adamzwasserman 10mo ago
Practical argument for vibe coding in C: the training corpus is probably much higher quality. C code that survives in the wild tends to be written by experienced devs who care about correctness. The JS corpus includes mountains of tutorial

I wonder what it was you were taught growing up. My grandfather was a through-and-through Communist - a Red Russian who came to the US after escaping a Nazi firing squad and living in the forest for months. Once in the US, he organized labo

I am dark at the moment. I am doing final testing, packaging, integrating strip, etc. My target was before end of month. If I work hard I just might make it. I'm releasing a bunch of things at once: 1. multicardz.com 2. a paper on usin

The deeper principle here: "stop lying about where truth lives." I've been exploring how this generalizes beyond side effects. Every React state library creates a JavaScript copy of state that must sync with the DOM. This is
