What exactly is the "myth" that I'm promoting? Type annotations do nothing in default Python, they require some other system to enforce them.

I feel like this needs to be mentioned more: If you don't have some kind of system to enforce types, then TypedDict does nothing at all. You can store a float in an attribute annotated as a string, and default Python will not stop you,

Thank you for this universal approach. I can now toggle capitalization on/off for any character, instead of just being limited to alphabetic ones! Jokes aside, I was kinda hoping for a good answer that doesn't rely on a Windows AP

It's often talked about here on HN, sometimes goes by the name ORM: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reputation_management You can easily hire people to manipulate websites.

Yep, anything too controversial or exciting get buried. It's like to polar opposite of the Facebook ranking algorithm. Seems ripe for manipulation, you could go start arguments in whatever threads you want to see downranked.

Words are converted to vectors, so it's like asking the model how many "r"'s are in [0.47,-0.23,0.12,0.01,0.82]. There's a big difference in how an LLM views a "word" compared to a human being.

Why don't we use 0x1F (␟) instead of "," or TAB to separate units and 0x1E (␞) to separate records? It seems like half the problems with CSV were solved back in the 70s with ASCII codes.
