Re:How to Write English Prose

I think Baroque is the wrong descriptor for those passages actually. The constructions employed in both are very varied, its true, and the vocabulary is wide, not to mention archaic to our modern ears - but all the words are performing a useful function in conveying what the author wanted to say. There is not much pointless ornamentation.
You're not voting it into office (yet, anyway. Haha). Aren't we all just using these models to write code?

Is it not that certain train lines are somewhat deep underground? The Piccadilly line swims with respect to the ground in the centre of town, when it is below ground. Further out where lines are at the surface the routes stick to the ground correctly.

As the saying goes - "Alcohol is an excellent servant, but a terrible master." The same could be said for Metrics. So much is measurable these days, and we love to watch the chart go up or down. If it hasn't been measured, it doesn't exist. And the bureaucrats conjure reality with nothing but a spreadsheet and the flourish of a rubber stamp.

100% yes. As you say, Psychosis is an exaggeration but frazzled captures it. And it's definitely a feeling that "this is such an opportunity, but the window will close - got to make the most of it somehow". Very stressful in a diffuse kind of way.

I'm working on a native code backtester that compiles pinescript strategies, and (hopefully) runs them super fast. Also a parameter optimiser with different scoring methods.

On the contrary - the LLM has had it's own version of "skin in the game" through the whole of it's training. Reinforcement learning is nothing but that. Why is that less real than putting a person in prison. Is it because of the LLM itself, or because you don't trust the people selling it to you?
