Reminds me a bit of the TARS robot from Interstellar. It was portrayed as a highly capable robot with limited articulation. (CASE too) https://interstellarfilm.fandom.com/wiki/Robot

Anyone play the Apple II video game by Telerium? Slow, but it did evoke that sense of wonder

> “As an aside, I think there may be an increased reason to use dynamic interpreted languages for the intermediate product. I think it will likely become mainstream in future LLM programming systems to make live changes to a running interpreted program based on prompts.”
Curious whether the author is envisioning changing configuration of running code on the fly (which shouldn’t require an interpreted language)? Or whether they are referring to changing behavior on the fly?
Assuming the latter, and maybe setting the LLM aspect aside: is there any standard safe programming paradigm that would enable this? I’m aware of Erlang (message passing) and actor pattern systems, but interpreted languages like Python don’t seem to be ideal for these sorts of systems. I could be totally wrong here, just trying to imagine what the author is envisioning.

What stack are you running? How do you guarantee sequential consistency of order numbers across your app server regions, cache layers and data lakehouse?

Great article, thanks for posting. Here’s a nice summary of automatic differentiation, mentioned in the article and core to how NN’s are implemented: https://medium.com/@rhome/automatic-differentiation-26d5a993...

Great point. Erlang is still going strong, in fact WhatsApp is implemented in Erlang

Yes StarCon2 / Masters of Urquan also hold up really well
