Several mathematical operations are provided for combining Counter objects to produce multisets (counters that have counts greater than zero). Addition and subtraction combine counters by adding or subtracting the counts of corresponding elements. Intersection and union return the minimum and maximum of corresponding counts. Equality and inclusion compare corresponding counts. Each operation can accept inputs with signed counts, but the output will exclude results with counts of zero or less.
If the training data is basically irrelevant, then an LLM should be able to iteratively improve the programming language it uses, resulting in a custom language optimally designed to maximize its own coding ability. The source code might not even be human readable natively, just translated into pseudocode on an as-needed basis.

I won't be surprised if one day they do.
At least in their current form, I don't think they can independently design a language that is so much better than other available ones that it makes sense for them to use it.
There's a very good language for almost every use case already, designing one better than the ones already available is a VERY tall order.
It's almost like these languages aren't designed by morons, but built by teams of geniuses over a decade instead.
It's taken me 6 months of heavily steering an LLM to build a language that is not yet even ready for production use.
Maybe I'm the one slowing the LLM down. But it certainly does not seem that way.
The key to a good language for them - from my experience - is maximum expression plus minimum global complexity.
Anything that makes you manage memory lifetimes & memory safety is inherently unfriendly to LLMs - that's globally complex.
All scripting languages allow spaghetti aliases that let you hack your way into oblivion - and LLMs gladly ride that gravy train to hell.
Rust excels here, because it prevents the worst and is WAY more expressive than most people think.
Go has arguably the best runtime ever built, but it's not very expressive, and it still has a lot of problems from C and scripting languages - I don't think these types of languages will be the ones people chose to write code with for LLMs in the future.
There's a lot wrong with the world, but it seems not unreasonable for people to more strongly critique things 1) they feel they have some responsibility for or 2) that directly impact them or 3) where their criticisms are more likely to result in positive change.
When the final threshold image was displayed, I felt that the boundary was too far over to the left and I had a fair amount of green on the blue side.
I think this would work better if the hues jumped around a bit instead of blatantly triangulating, so that you wouldn't be biased by your prior semection.
And regardless of whether the US government is a democracy or not, the frequent claim that it is a republic and (therefore) not a democracy is a non sequitur. It's like saying my suitcase is black and therefore not tall; the first has no bearing on the second.
It's just a thought-stopping meme. Thought-stopping because it ends up derailing conversations about policy or governance with dictionary definition arguments. A meme because the eye-rolling implication is that if our country is a republic and not a democracy, then naturally it's Republican and not Democrat(ic).
Furthermore, the fact that there are some anti-democratic elements in the US Constitution doesn't preclude democracy on the whole. Much in the way we consider our economic system to be capitalist despite there being many anti-capitalist components.
Your suitcase is black and therefore not seafoam green. A democracy, a republic, and a federal republic are all different forms of government.

Who makes this argument?
“Bad terminology is the enemy of clear thinking,” per Charlie Munger. Yes, calling things what they are can be uncomfortable, and calling things what they are not is gaslighting. A republic is not a democracy. The mixed economy, dirigisme, and corporatism are not capitalism. Who benefits from the confusion that these introduce?

"[Gaslighting] is often used incorrectly to refer to conflicts and disagreements.[5][19][20] According to Robin Stern, PhD, co-founder of the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence, "Gaslighting is often used in an accusatory way when somebody may just be insistent on something, or somebody may be trying to influence you. That's not what gaslighting is."[19]"
I know, but that's still thousands of photos at original quality, let alone with the default compression, for each member of their extended family present, not just some of them. I barely know a couple people stockpiling more photos than that, let alone an entire family.
I happen to be in the middle of this book right now, so I only lightly skimmed tfa, but my copy is about Marie Quinn, not as Diehl says, Marion Wheeler. I do recall that name from an older, less cohesive 2020 ebook version that I had started reading years ago but set aside. Are there different protagonists in different markets? Or different perceived realities?
I bought it a few years ago before the new book deal and the name is Marion Wheeler.
I believe it was self published back then. Although it’s a beautiful hard cover that was only like $14 on amazon. I found it funny that it’s one of my favorite recent hardcovers and is cheaper and self published.
The problem for Microsoft is that branding only works if it's built off a solid, widespread product with a good repuation. Github Copilot might be solid but it's a niche product that most people have never heard of. So people wind up associating the entire Copilot brand with the mediocre to bad Copilot experiences they are exposed to on a daily basis, such as the useless Copilot button on Copilot+ PC keyboards.
