> Why do you think it's impossible to regulate?

There are three reasons:

- once it's widespread - it's a standard (targeted ads, cookie tracking, SEO)

- we'd need a lot of infrastructure to track all the data recorded, where it goes, how it is processed, etc. etc.. And if a big company is caught.. they'll pay fines for being caught and let away to continue the same shady practices, as we have seen with privacy scandals at Facebook.

> ...but lots of terrible things people used to do got outlawed eventually.

That's the third reason - surveillance is evil and bad, but it will never be advertised as that. It will be something good and convenient with a surveillance as a side effect, similar to social media and smart appliances.

Maybe, I am just too pessimistic and you're right with: 'This process seems slow compared to a human lifespan'.

> Actually I don't think that's true, consider manufacturing robots.

We're long way from making fully AI-driven robots. But much closer to other uses.

Our current world is very data-centric: companies have been collecting, selling, sharing and stashing metadata with websites, social media and smartphones for the last decade. Now, language models will help them process it. I have one question: for what cause? Surely, for the good of humanity. That's what the companies exist for, right?

It's not like we need laws to force companies to not screw us over, or in America they need lobbyists to force politicians to force companies to not screw them over. Currently, AI is absolutely unregulated wild lawless west, and it's frightening. And not because of bad actors, but because of the 'pretending to be good' ones.

> Wasn't it always true? Trivially all people advocate their beliefs..

You would be surprised, but people need constant reminders of that. Or they will start treating mega-corporations as privacy-respecting, consumer-oriented, eco-friendly or any other bullshit their PR-team trying to push today or will try tomorrow.

> Is any of this currently being done, however?

Companies aren't obligated to disclose the training process. So, we can't tell. Until, in the matter of months, it is available, accessible and almost impossible to regulate. And every company will start using it to not fall behind.

Not sure what you mean by modal keyboard, but there is fully customizable row of keys in termux.

I disabled it, because I use special android keyboard app[0] with a custom layout made from scratch[1]: all common symbols, arrows, esc, ctrl, alt, forward delete, paste and enter gestures etc. etc.

Another challenge, is that toki pona requires a lot of context, not only of previous sentences, but visual and communal. For example, I can say 'soweli lili' and point to a cat, then in all further conversations 'soweli lili' will mean exactly a 'cat' until specified.

I could use sentence that could mean literally hundred thousand of different things, but if I explain it properly once, you are expected to keep it as context.

ChatGPT4 will struggle to keep all context as it will surely accumulate.

Nim's default json library is terrible in performance, but there're much faster drop-in replacements like jsony[1]. I'm not sure that's the main issue for low rank, but it's definitely one of them.

Your programs could benefit from small dependency-free executables and compile time code generation and execution. Nim code can also be called directly from python or vice versa, check out nimpy[1].

1. Nim uses 'var' modifier to pass by reference, e.g. "proc (n: var int)...", default behaviour is pass by value. And there're also raw pointers and references (safe pointers).

>is a no-gc mode available?

You can disable gc, but most of standard library depends on it. But in Nim 2.0 there's finally support for ARC and ORC (ARC + cycle collector).

for i in $(objdump -p /path/to/bin | grep NEEDED | awk '{print $2}'); do ldconfig -p | awk -v var="$i" '$1==var{print $0}'; done

Now I'm wondering: if there were two monkeys hitting random keys on a keyboard for an infinite amount of time, one in the gpt-4 prompt and another straight typing 0s and 1s who would produce Doom code faster?

What a joke is this site? Ever heard of screenshots? Why does text-based content have to be embedded anyway? Ok, it is hard to press couple buttons, paste a picture, edit, align it, etc.. Then just give me a link.

Or, more likely, wait until adblock developers figure out how to circumvent adblock detection. In the mean time you could probably switch your VPN country to Russia, as there's literally zero advertisements right now from google.

I believe, Nim also has this functionality, although, it uses the [0]Z3Prover tool with a nim frontend [1]DrNim for proving.
