He really disappears into whatever character he is playing. Truly one of the exceptional actors of our time. That show in particular highlights this very well.

And then they beg for more every year on Wikipedia itself. It is gross and no one should give them money any more. The endowment amount was met long ago. No one wants their other shit. Just be happy with Wikipedia being the massive success

You might thinking of Perl. Affectionately known as the swiss army chainsaw of programming languages, it incorporated elements from bash, awk, sed, etc and smushed them together into a language that carried the early Web.

TIL. Like, this is the majority of the jobs I've had in the last 20 years. A bit mind blowing that this concept has been written about and studied.

Cute story on why that came to be. At Booking.com, a degenerate case that lead to a DoS that you could cause with specially crafted URLs (I think, memory is a bit foggy) spurned Yves Orton to do that hacking. And it broke a lot of code wher

This is true. The further away you go from the bigger cities that aren't touristy, the more friction there is if you only speak English. A1 level of Dutch is plenty to navigate and do personal errands, and even then others still might

Not to put too fine of a point on it, but why not merge one of the simpler PRs for this feature, gate the feature behind an opt-in env var (ie. OLLAMA_EXPERIMENTAL_GRAMMAR=1), and sprinkle these caveats you've mentioned into the docume

I think this is a neat project, and use it a lot. My only complaint is the lack of grammar support. llama.cpp that they wrap will take a grammar. The dumbest patch to enable this is like two lines. And they seem to be willfully ignoring the

Honestly, this feels very Forth-y just with a finer grained control over tokenization. It would be cool if you could compare and contrast the two. Because in Forth I can redefine dictionary words and have control over parsing much like Cogn

Schwartz basically rode his early fame into the ground. While the world was moving on from Perl (especially after the community completely fractured and started disintegrating during the early days of Perl6, now Raku), he doubled down, but
