The article directly quotes google giving a clear answer….

“Google replied to the tweet directly, saying, “Bard is an early experiment based on Large Language Models and will make mistakes. It is not trained on Gmail data. -JQ”.

Katex is truly great. Fun trivia facts - one of its developers also played a core role in React (she is a legend)

Thanks for sharing

I tend to agree but would be happy to be proven wrong by more knowledgeable folks in these comments.

However I assume here we are talking about dotted lists and not ‘proper’ ones?

Unrelated but you most posted a comment many years back (below). Wondering if you have any tips on research / articles in this space?

> Yes, very nice. But it needs an update on structured documents (tree-like, as in HTML). And, ideally, it should be accompanied by work that addresses collaborative editing in such structured documents.

Ask HN: Should Google be concerned with ChatGPT

For all this talk about AI and general intelligence, what has striken me the most is how good GPT is as a search engine for information.Should google be worried (I think so) and which companies can I invest in to ride this wave of AI?

That looks really good. P.s CodeMirror is awesome, by far the best editor plug-in on the web
This is clearly self promotion…and the multiple alt accounts / friend accounts to try to create a particular impression of the software…

I would agree
Re:Common Lisp Object System (CLOS) on Wednesday November 23, 2022 @07:37AM (#33718418)
Agreed. I program in CL and other languages too. I find Java developers tend to have a stronger understanding of OOP and that might be behind your insight. For all its benefits, it feels like at times many CL users miss the point of OOP.

CLOS itself is great, however the decoupling of data and methods is something at times I find leads to harder to understand code.

Re:Closures and Objects Are Equivalent (2013) on Sunday November 20, 2022 @06:01AM (#33679980)
Closures don’t have inheritance or any of the other machinery that object oriented programming typically comes with.

Perhaps saying they are light weight objects (where objects has its meaning as instances of classes) is a good way of saying it.

The realisation that closures and objects are very similar is one of the main turning points in becoming proficient in both OOP and Functional Programming, it was for me at least.
