SQL is unnecessarily clunky in just about every respect. It's mind boggling that the syntax of a language designed in the 1970s has so many ardent defenders.

Parents don't have sole discretion about their child's well-being. As pointed out by another reply, "I thought it was best for them" doesn't hold up when the wealth of evidence shows they are endangering or harming

I think the big issue with private equity is the lack of transparency. Seems like a big part of their bread and butter is anti-competitive or otherwise legally questionable self dealing between their holdings. Things that would quickly face

Some classes of antibiotics use birth control - rather than killing bacteria directly, they inhibit reproduction. I think the biggest difference is that bacteria can react to a treatment, while viruses don't have the capacity to react.

Gotenberg[0] wraps up Chromium nicely for this purpose. However, at scale, spinning up Chromium for each PDF you want to generate is painful. I'd definitely consider a solution like PlutoPrint. 0: https://gotenberg.dev/

Sure. A non-English speaking adult wouldn't be able to answer the question either, after the question was translated to their language. Maybe you wouldn't want a non-English speaker helping you to write an acrostic in English. Luc

What's your point? Parent said "That's literally useless knowledge" in response to not knowing the number of tokens in "blueberry". Are we talking about the specific question or the general notion of counting?

When's the last time you needed to know the number of Rs in "blueberry"?

A Chinese second grader would probably not be able to answer "How many Rs are in the word 草莓?" It's a valid critique.

How is counting letters a measure of understanding, rather than a rote process? The reason LLMs struggle with this is because they literally aren't thinking in English. Their input is tokenized before it comes to them. It's like a

We're up to a gazillion parameters already, maybe the next step is to just ditch the tokenization step and let the LLMs encode the tokenization process internally?

I sometimes wonder how big the category of "programs that break (or rather, cause) the halting problem" really is. If we carve out "programs that run themselves on themselves and then do the opposite", what remains?
