TL;DR sample the top N results from the LLM and use traditional NLP to extract factoids, if the LLM is confabulating the factoids would have random distribution, but if it's not it will be heavily weighted towards one answer.
A figure from the paper shows this better than my TL;DR: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-024-07421-0/figures/1

A reply in the thread from David Major about performance:
"At the moment, performance is a mixed bag. Some tests are up and some are down. In particular I believe Speedometer is down a few percent."
"Note however that clang-cl is punching above its weight. These builds currently have neither LTO nor PGO, while our MSVC builds use both of those. Any regressions that we're seeing ought to be short-lived. Once we enable LTO[1] and PGO[2], I expect clang to be a clear performance win."
[1] "LTO (Link Time Optimization) is a method for achieving better runtime performance through whole-program analysis and cross-module optimization." http://blog.llvm.org/2016/06/thinlto-scalable-and-incrementa...
[2] PGO = Profile Guided Optimization

> Similarly, awards with vesting triggers based on exit events such as an initial public offering or change-in-control would be taxable on grant unless they require the recipient to be employed through the liquidity date
Double trigger RSUs are popular in late stage unicorns where the exercise price for ISOs have already hit a high level but the stock isn't liquid enough to sell to cover the tax as they vest.
A lot of people might be affected, I wonder if existing grants are grandfathered in?

I found this tutorial a little more approachable: http://rise4fun.com/Fast/tutorial/guide
Fast! is a Microsoft Research language for tree transforms, the cool part is the "deforestation" where a sequence of functions can be transformed in to a single function.
What makes this cool is it isn't "runtime" composition; the generated C# code does the transformation in a single pass. For example a sequence of maps and filters would only loop over the list once.

It's worth noting here that they demonstrated this effect with language learners i.e. it's very likely that the students had to labouriously work out the foreign language questions.
Basically they've demonstrated that if people spend a lot more time on a question they answer less emotionally (which seems like it would be true independent of the language).
If they can demonstrate the effect still holds with 2nd language speakers with native level proficiency then this would be a lot more interesting result.

There's some guys in Seattle doing this using motion-capture cameras for the positioning:
I answer that I'm terrified of running into something in the real world while my
vision is obscured, but they insist I'll be fine. It turns out the game space's
virtual walls correspond to the real ones in the admittedly small office I occupy
in meatspace.

It's probably the "hyphens: auto" [1] in the CSS that's doing it. No support in Chrome yet [2].
