“Played piano acceptably.”


To the downvoter — this is a quote from the liner notes of one of his albums, where he published middling to damning reviews of his concert lol.


As if you could kill time without injuring eternity. (Thoreau)


Is it the redundancy? Or is it because markup is a more natural way to annotate language, which obviously is what LLMs are all about?

Genuinely curious, I don’t know the answer. But intuitively JSON is nice for easy to read payloads for transport but to be able to provide rich context around specific parts of text seems right up XML’s alley?


The lack of inline context is a failing of JSON and a very useful feature of XML.

Two simple but useful examples would be inline markup to define a series of numbers as a date or telephone number or a particular phrase tagged as being a different language from the main document. Inline semantic tags would let LLMs better understand the context of those tokens. JSON can't really do that while it's a native aspect of XML.


Or is is because most text in existence is XML - or more specifically HTML.

Stop all the downloading!


As a Canadian, obviously not.

(For real though we don’t use that word for argument or whatever.)


This is correct. GP’s rule should be adhered to for bar charts though. Absolute values there are expected. For line charts continuous (ish) over time, people are usually more interested in relative change in a time period so ok if y axis starts closer to the minimum value of the series in that range.


It’s very calm, which I really appreciate about it compared to the wild energy in other shows. Sadly my toddler is more drawn to the intense colours and action of Paw Patrol.

Which is a whole other thing in this age of streaming.. when they know you could just pick something else, they will immediately complain and ask for that instead of just needing to accept what is being shown.


That is definitely not what neoliberalism is about. GP is correct (though the current situation seems to be something much more extreme).


GP’s quote was taken from directly below yours.

They completely changed their post after the Tronno reply, which made the replies look out of context.

Their original post, quoted verbatim in my other comment¹, was:

> It may be you who lacks the critical reasoning skills. Did you happen to think about the fact that 23% of the population is actually younger than age 12, meaning they wouldn’t even be in 6th grade yet?
