I already don't like what I hear about standard American credit scores (but I don't live in the US anyway.) This seems mostly like more of the same.

If it's only the day (and not time of day), then securing the next ten years would only take around ~3650 trials. Doesn't seem too bad. (And the can't make it too precise, if they want their attack to work even if you don&#x

Or perhaps customers / users? Just like Wikipedia put classic encyclopedias out of business, but wasn't really a financially win for anyone.

Well, since we haven't solved alignment, there's not even a guarantee that unpoisoned training data is good enough.

Btw, if it's just the date (and nothing else) researchers or anyone interested can explore that by just providing future dates and see if anything changes.

Seems like a souped up credit score? With pretty much all the pros and cons of that existing system.

Agreed. If you watch old American sitcoms one of the guys, typically a dad, will always be fiddling with his car and tune and maintain it. That was a stereotype for a reason.

Could you drop the LLM-authored summary in a GitHub gist (or so) and link here? (Suggesting this route, so that we don't spam HN too much.)

> Just how much functionality are you getting out of that? It's hard for me to imagine that people want that much out of such a program. I just keep a spreadsheet. (Yes, LibreOffice is also very bloated.) I suspect it depends a lot

Indeed, and I've come across it even in pre-AI times. However given that in English we don't care eg about Latin cases, I don't think we should care all that much about Latin plurals. So corpuses is fine by me.

We can't make that inference. Just because people use escalators doesn't mean that cars are relatively useless.

The people who curate training data use all kinds of tricks, yes. They also constantly try new ideas and see what helps. Btw, learning from your own generated data isn't necessarily bad, if you have an external source of validation.

Well, you can have a look at Singapore. However even we don't have 15+ stories on every last building. (My home in Singapore only has 3 stories and legally no one can change that, because it's under conservation.)

These days you could probably even stitch together images from multiple cameras?

You could replace the mirrors with tiny cameras and screens inside the car, perhaps. But not sure that would be legal.

You could run the script mechanically against the diff (assuming you use version control). No need to rely on the agent.

That part of SICP applies equally well to Haskell, which is not generally considered homoiconic.

You can produce a variant of C, call it C', that has the parser in the standard library.

What does 'within the language' mean? Is the standard library part of the language? Would a variant of C that came with an interpreter in the standard library (but no other changes) count as homoiconic?

I'm saying that the retaliation imposes basically the same costs on you that you are trying to avoid by getting the other guy to lower their tariffs. Just cut the crap, and unilaterally remove your tariffs and refuse to play the game.

You can write some library functions to get you more sophisticated indexing, if that's what you want.

Homoiconicity doesn't mean everything has to _look_ the same. If the term has any meaning, it's about how program source code can be represented and manipulated easily by the user. (And I say 'can' deliberately, because
