So you'd rather use the example in the article that's 5x longer? Makes no sense.

You are getting side tracked. Implementation details have nothing to do with it. It's about state and functions. He is saying rather then have an entity manage both state and functions, Just have a function take in state. The implement

This makes sense. So basically if you style your programming such that a list is never materialized you can achieve zero allocation based programming. However for things like "sorting" this can never fully be achieved. You cannot

Good article. But it's on GPT-3. Nobody is claiming GPT-3 is sentient. The claim was made on Googles lamda. I read your entire article. Now please read the interview with lamda that I sent. It is thorough beyond what was used to probe

It's discuss-able. Because it's not opinion. You can draw upon actual recorded events as evidence. This can go beyond anecdote (which still has a level of validity) and even into statistics if we dig deep enough. The trouble with

Analogies aren't proof for anything. I'm pretty sure though, we obviously can't prove these chatbots are sentient. Clearly. However, for the first time, we ALSO cannot prove that these chatbots aren't sentient. The stati

There is a point here that even the twitter poster is missing. This machine is imitating a human better than a human itself, and we now have statistics to prove it. The question is... if statistically it's better at appearing human th

Functional is always at odds with low level programming because of heap allocation. You can't control it because of immutability. Just a simple map operation does a heap allocation. How does Ante avoid this problem and give the user co

Type checking is a form of proof. It proves your system is type safe. You would need billions or trillions of tests to achieve type safety equivalent to a type checker. A successful test only proves something for a single test case. In fact

Yes but things can break less with a robust type system. This is categorically true. For example ELM is a programming language that cannot crash due to it's type system. I mean it can crash off of exceeding system resources or through
