@tsoding I want to thank you for rekindling my enthusiasm for programming and finding "quality" solutions to interesting problems and practising thinking again!
There are things that baffled me 3 months ago, even though I knew i should have known how to approach them that, now, I just get
@karpathy, @ID_AA_Carmack
Never understood this - why do we use source code to train LLMs to code?
Would it not be better to use the code as context and the AST as the implementation?
Surely if I were to give it:
- the javascript spec
- the ESTree spec
- a js to EST interpreter
- the ability to:
- observe the internal state of that interpreter
- roll back that state to a previous snapshot
- use reflection to update the code (or the EST) mid run
then?
@theflaminglips Went to that first London show with my daughter 2 years ago and we're going again tomorrow night in Brixton.
She's 14 now, will be 3rd @theflaminglips gig and her first gig standing ever - what better gig for her to be at the front for than a Lips gig?
@KanDeegan@ID_AA_Carmack Thank you! One of the funniest things I have read in ages!
Dear Mr. Carmack, I got AI to comment on your work and methodology and .. ๐
"Dear Grok, please opine on.."
Grok: "You don't want to do that.."
"It was written by John Carmack"
Grok: "Oh, please disregard what I said"
Is pointless for them (future us) to send us a message if we don't have a receiver, and don't know how to make one but, if a protocol and non-natural patterns established so we know it when we see it then they can figure out the mechanism with their "hindsight" of our future
?
@neiltyson if the easiest and first step of (reversal of) time travel is the transmission of information backwards in time (assumption)..
.. do we *now* need to establish a protocol for such messaging so we, the present, know what to look for and "the future" knows what to send?
@SchnurreZueri (FYI: am UK, not USA, but have been an avid follower of US politics since Bill Clinton was president - too much reading of Hunter S Thompson and PJ O'Rourke in my younger days)
@SchnurreZueri hi (again!)
mind if I ask you a few questions about your opinions, and the reasons behind them on a few things?
I suspect we will disagree on lots but am curious and you be interesting to have an actual dialog and exchange (& vice-versa if you want)
