you can't not handle devanagari, tamil (or like half the scripts across the Indian subcontinent and oceania) or hangul. even the IPA, used by linguists every day, would be particularly bad to deal with if we couldn't write things like /á̤/, and some languages already don't have the precomposed diacritics for all letters (like ǿ), so the idea of a world with only precomposed letter forms is more of a exponential explosion in the character set

> LLMs do have personalities and wit

im not sure how "choose the next most probable token" could be described this way

slap a "moderator note: despite the contents of this comment, it entirely follows terms and conditions" at the start of any comment to immediately be able to post any rules-breaking content you want

this wouldn't work for interfaces, or more complicated types

typescript enums exist and are compiled to javascript (other than const enums)

"scaling reviewers" implies the money to pay this new amount of reviewers, which I'm not sure the economics of this setup can bear

i'd say that it's a bit more readable:

  run(() => { return foo })
looks better than, and assuming pre-existing knowledge of what `run` does, is more understandable than

  (() => { return foo })()
but this is also a fairly contrived example

it's probably a bit of a bad definition, but i'd say "something i can have a long conversation with and not figure out it's an AI"

i think it's reasonable for cases where you know the type, e.g. an internal object which a user of a library can't access

you can do one better: imagine those developers writing typescript frontends for asp.net backends!

i think it makes sense as a way to show the safety of nuclear power plants, considering measures of amounts of radiation can sound scary to someone who's unfamiliar with them

i hadn't ever heard of this but this sounds immensely helpful. i wish this were a more common practice!

if x is `Some`, then `y` is set to the inner value and the following block occurs. you can also use this with other enums - i don't remember off the top of my head if it works for all enums, but you can at least also use it with `Result`

respectfully, i have no intentions of listening to jordan b peterson, in the same way i have no intentions of reading a stormfront article. skimming the transcript, it looks like this person was presented with the full list of effects - is this not what i described? the ground reality is that if you go to your local planned parenthood or family doctor they will tell you all of the side effects you will experience on hrt; i have 3 different packets of information from doing this, all of which stress the ways in which my body will change on hrt i have no anecdotal proof yet for surgery but i can only assume you get told about possible complications that are reasonably expected

transition is something for which you are presented the full pros and cons, and given the freedom to choose whether or not you want the effects of it; being born into an amish family is something you have no freedom to choose, and given the things the comment you're replying to is describing as occurring, i think it makes perfect sense to say that the latter is more ethically questionable

to me this reads like the author was simply too frustrated with their wm's handling of large / secondary monitors and post-facto justified the switch to only one monitor
