The cover of "The Selected Novels of Eric Frank Russell: Entities"
The cover features a painting of a glowing space moth with big feathered antenna and wings like clouds of plasma or nebulae in shades of orange.
A scattering of dark starry sky.
There are spaceships like organic metallic seed pods. The moth is either confronting them or sending them off into universe.]
It's really good looking especially on the bamboo frame. I'm impressed.

This list is not comprehensive, well defined or subject to any consistent attributes other than finding a bunch of people in my recent mentions who'd I'd instantly miss.
I assumed that's what they were for?
no no no don't be silly. Ants don't know how to talk or make memes or anything like that. come on.
All I can think of is those scam "X-ray glasses" from the back of the comic books.
Some ants have pretty big eyes. But smells would be helpful, probably beyond human technological sophistication to make such a thing, though. So yet another reason why it's not possible.
Who needs a sea-doo when you are the master of surface tension? And basically Jesus.
No, this is silly ants are concerned with digging simple holes and being very nice creatures that help keep the forest clean. They don't want to use the internet to do anything so complex and frustrating. Just don't worry about it I think.
Oh very funny. You know some people have lost loved ones to pinching, right?
I can't be "an ant pretending to be a person on the internet"
I post about human stuff all the time and no one has made a computer interface suitable for ants yet. So it's impossible.
... vertebrates ...

I've had so many people say "it knows how to write code now" as if this is somehow ... new and different from generating text. As if there as been some foundational advancement and not just the same tool applied again.
They've added some new feature that will pull up a little virtual machine and it will let you run the code in there. It also seems to test that the code will at least compile first.
I worry that people seem to think that the LLM just... "evolved" these features when clearly a human person had to add them.
They are middle school kids totally new to programming so reading the whole thing is a challenge and they will encounter too many words they are still learning.
And really their errors are nearly always typos. Or not putting their function call in main body of the program. Or using a variable they have not defined.
So, for them reading deep isn't that important IMO.
The responses can be very verbose and technical.
"Now I'm curious about whether LLMs' code compiles and executes error-free on their first attempt."
At first it did not, but they have added a routine to run it through a compiler until it at least runs without syntax errors and probably produces output that seems like what you asked for for a limited example of input.
This is a bolted on extra check, not some improvement in the base LLM.
But some people are acting like it does represent advances in the LLM.
I'm kind of shocked that functions are hard. Are they hard for students who understand functions in the context of mathematics?
Tangentially related:
"AI can write code so why teach how to code?"
"Great point! It can write an essay too, so why teach how to read."
Like. We've had calculators for decades and still teach arithmetic. And functionally the average person needs to know probably more about mathematics and needs to read more than they did a century ago. The same will apply for code.
