A chrome extension with a affiliate program?!

Its wrong, or at least not my definition of few people.

https://thephp.foundation/structure/

"Core Developers The PHP Foundation contracts 10 full-time and part-time engineers to maintain and develop the PHP language."


There are many, people doing (good, valuable) things on PHP, however active people with deep understanding of the engine can be counted on less than a hand. (I contributed some small things to the engine and other parts in the past)


One of those people is Nikita Popov (nikic). PHP core development took a hard hit when he left to work on other projects at JetBrains.


Not to mention all the volunteers.


Phpstan == TypeScript


A terrible typescript


I would say an actively harmful TypeScript. Just a couple of days ago, I had bug in production because apparently the union of two types is not the intersection but the sum. It exploded because one type had a method that the other didn't. That's an absolutely horrible footgun


If they use Twitter data does grok answer with a 280 character text?

Additional Twitter data is in my eyes mostly low quality content, that's nothing I would want in a AI model.


> low quality content

How does it matter even if the quality is high or low? The point is user data was used without consent.


Yes, but nothing new, other AI models used data that they don't own. Makes it not better, but I think thats the path.


> If they use Twitter data does grok answer with a 280 character text?

That may be considered a feature.

ChatGPT seems reasonably concise, Gemini's answers tend to be verbose (without adding meaningful content).


I've lead myself to believe that long responses are actually beneficial for the quality of the responses, as processing and producing tokens are the only time when LLMs get to "think".

In particular, requesting an analysis of the problem first before jumping to conclusions can be more effective than just asking for the final answer directly.

However, this analysis phase, or similar one, could just be done hidden in the background, but I don't think any are doing that yet. From the user point of view that would be just waiting, and from API point of view those tokens would also cost. Might just as well entertain the user with the text it processes in the meanwhile.


My understanding is this used to be the case[1] but isn't really true any longer due to things like the "star" method for model training[2]. Empirically it absolutely (circa GPT3) used to be the case that if you prompted with "Explain all your reasoning step by step and then give the answer at the end" or similar it would give you a better answer for a complex question than if you said "Just give me the answer and nothing else" or similar, or asked for the answer first, and then circa gpt-4 answers started getting much longer even if you asked the model to be concise.

That doesn't seem to be the case any more and there has been speculation this is down to the star method being used for training newer models. I say speculation because I don't believe people have come out and said they are using star for training. OpenAI referred to Q* somewhere but they wouldn't be drawn on whether that * is this "star" and although google were involved in publishing the star paper they haven't said gemini uses it (I don't think).

I his eyes he will definitely forced to install all browsers the epic store and fortnite ;)


So you say macos has more security and privacy issues than ios?


If they allow chrome they must allow every browser with blink engine or they'll get also a lawsuit. (At least from the big)


They will, as they are forced by the EU if they don't allow any.


Yes apples does that only for the privacy of the users...


And it's bad for the users, they can't rely on the browsername and get different bug and features.

Its a mess, thanks apple.
