The TL;DR insight is a good one: if NNs are trained on the concensus status quo, they will generate the OK results, not the effective or outstanding ones. The author is I guess in product marketing and says that this result should be encou

If you’re going to make this jump from YAML to something with a little control constructs, your users will thank you if you go straight to a 3Lisp with full metasyntactic capability. It’s the most user friendly thing you could do.

Apple should add a non-maskable, unforgeable out of band signal, like the green and orange “lights” that indicate the camera or microphone are on. This logic goes back to the Rainbow books. Ideally it would be an LED separated from the scr
