> Valued = useful + hard to find.

I agree, but I think it slightly differently, Valued = useful + hard to replace.

How difficult is to be replaced by some other human or a machine.

I understand it differently,

LLMs predict distributions, not specific tokens. Then an algorithm, like beam search, is used to select the tokens.

So, the LLM predicts somethings like, 1. ["a", "an", ...] 2. ["astronomer", "cosmologist", ...],

where "an astronomer" is selected as the most likely result.

You can capitalize a string in Python using functional style

  ' '.join(map(str.capitalize, string.split(' ')))
which is similar to the example in Ruby, except the operations are written in reverse order.

Steve Yegge mentions the book in the "Compilers, why learn them?" episode,

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o87pOVK8khc&t=1939s

"you're not done actually when you learn how compilers work you also need to learn how linkers and loaders work and you need to learn how to operating systems work before all of the magic is gone. So you really want to learn compilers and operating systems and then get this book that I have called Linkers and Loaders it's like the only book on linkers and loaders. I should have brought it and uh and it's really good"
