I said this in another comment and got downvoted too. Can the downvoters explain what they are downvoting for? What's wrong with if-match?

The paper also talks about reordering matrix multiplications by automatically adding parentheses (despite the fact that floating point multiplication is non-associative). Is there a way to achieve this in Julia? If not what syntax might you

The "three observations that aren’t really part of the story" were really interesting and doesn't seem to be fully resolved. Will you be discussing them more in the future post?

We probably need a technical rather than legal solution for this. The problem is that generative algorithms are susceptible to accidental memorization so you can't guarantee that the output will be transformative. For example, play wit

Does it materially change the conclusion whether it's 8, 26, 100, or 1000 billionares? I am saying the top 1% is 77 million people and you can narrow that group down by a lot and still make the same headline of top X surpasses wealth
