The obvious quirks which are easy to pick up and identify, like em dashes or overuse of a specific rhetorical device, are also easy to adapt and change. The things which consistently helps me clock LLMs are the deeper lack of cohesion, thoughtfullness, ideosyncratic quirks and just plain interesting writing and these lacks are, in my opinion, fundamental to the technology and no amount of post-training or RLHF will be able to replicate that.
It's the long tail of genuine human communication, the 0,0001% of training data which is so niche or idiosyncratic, which gets discarded in order to compress and encode the rest, which is what people subconsciously pick up on. Most of the hallmarks which people are so quick to point out, the em-dashes et al, are adressable with tweaks to the system but that lack cannot be because it is a fundamental weakness of the technology.
Is he really criminally underrated if My Stars the Destination features in just about every "best scifi books" list I've ever read? Maybe not as high up as it deserves on those lists but that's hardly criminal underappreciation
> Vietnamese is one example. Having tones attached to syllables means that words and sentences are shorter.
This does not entail that more can be expressed than other languages. Please see my other reply which goes into (admittedly only slightly) more detail.
> Tonal languages allows individuals to express way more than Latin based languages.
Not true. There was a study that showed that information density is pretty consistent across all languages, regardless of the average number of phonemes used in that language or the strategies that are employed to encode structural information like syntax. I can only assume you are refering to the density with your statement based on the subject matter in that article as well as the fact that, given enough time and words, any language can represent anything any other language can represent.
I apologise if my terms are not exact, it's been years since I've studied linguistics. In addition, since I'm not going to dig up a reference to that paper, my claim here is just heresay. However the finding lines up with a pretty much all linguistic theory I learned regarding language acquisition and production as well as theory on how language production and cognition are linked so I was confident in the paper's findings even though a lot of the theory went over my head.
I'm pretty sure that you are correct. Or at the very least it is a reference to that specific aphorism. The title is far too idiomatically Latin (if you overlook the awkwardness with the syntactic subject) to be a coincidence.

This is one of the funniest things I've read all week.
I don't know whether this level of accuracy is imortant for you or not (if it isn't please excuse the correction) but the plural for "corpus" is "corpora"

"Boeing decided late last year that those failures were not a security issue, but the company and the F.A.A. later concluded that they represented a threat after further investigation and analysis." Translation: Boeing tried to ignore it until the F.A.A. told them to cut it out. Obviously this is a bit of a dead horse by now but if anyone still thinks that regulatory capture (I'm deliberatly using an adverserial term like capture despite the fact that this process was a consensual one) that allows Boeing and other manufacturers as much oversight and freedom in their own regulation is a good thing, then they need to wake up.
I think you'll find that if you do even a small amount of research you will find that this is not the case. There are many sources which confirm this, many of them official. Your comment amounts to: "Well since it hasn't happened to me then it can't possibly be true." Really?
I played Path of Exile for many years since the 1.0 release and always found reasons to go back to it. The only reason I stopped playing was a decrease in leisure time and having to choose between it and Minecraft. Minecraft lets me exercise my creativity much more which is the only reason I picked it. The devs do make some questionable moves (like their mystery boxes aka gambling boxes and frequent nerf/buff cycles simply for the sake of change) but they are by far the most in touch with their playerbase of any game I've played and this really shows. The game looks amaznig, plays amazing and is always improving.
Methamphetamine hydrochloride IS methamphetamine. I don't know how that can be stated more clearly.
Edit: in addition they are very much the same. They cross the b/b barrier at different speeds (add mentioned) and are metabolized at different rates due to the additional methyl group but otherwise their pharmacological actions are very much the same. The differences in effects are almost entirely covered by the 2 potentially mentioned rates differences. To argue otherwise is to ascribe produced sociological effects which we create by now we treat the drugs to their inherent pharmacology which is just plain wrong.

The existence of a handful of outliers does not a thesis disprove.
To elaborate, I'm pointing out that redundancy has been an integral part of aeronautical engineering for ages so to ignore it in any situation, never mind in one where the pilots are kept out of the decision making loop, is criminally negligent.
