Мне нравятся палиндромы. Несколько лет записывал себе в заметку. Решил сделать свой первый трэд. Если знаете ещё — скидывайте мне, буду записывать и дополнять 🧵. Как обычно: лайки и ретвиты приветствуются. Погнали!

Бобры прекращают жевать каждые несколько секунд, чтобы прислушаться к треску в дереве и не быть раздавленными.

Польские бобры подняли бунт и пошли против властей Лесники установили у пруда предупреждающую табличку о том, что местные бобры активно валят деревья и роют норы под дорогами Однако столб простоял недолго — бобры сгрызли его и повалили вместе с табличкой t.me/retra

Aviation solved AI slop in 1986. Karpathy is telling people to ask their LLM to write in ASD-STE100, a controlled language built for aircraft maintenance manuals. I went down the rabbit hole on where this spec comes from, and the backstory makes the hack even better. Back in the late 1970s, European airlines were handing English manuals to mechanics around the world who mostly didn't speak English as a first language. One ambiguous sentence in a fuel line procedure can get people killed. So the industry built a version of English where ambiguity is banned at the dictionary level. The spec allows roughly 900 approved words. Each word gets one meaning and one part of speech. "Close" can only be a verb, because "close the door" and "the close door" can't be allowed to coexist in a repair manual. "Follow" only means to come after. If you want obey, you write obey. Procedural sentences max out at 20 words. One instruction per sentence. Active voice only. Around 1,200 common words are explicitly banned, each with a mandated replacement. You don't "commence pumping." You start the pump. English has about 170,000 words in current use. Aviation decided mechanics get 900, and planes became safer to maintain because of it. Now flip it to LLMs. Models hedge and synonym-cycle because the training data rewards sounding fluent. STE is 40 years of accumulated rules for stripping exactly that out, written by people whose readers would die if a sentence could be read two ways. It might be the strongest anti-slop prompt in existence, and it's a free PDF.
We'll be spending a lot more time trying to understand the outputs of language models. A few thoughts, tips & tricks: Writing. Something I've had success with: Ask your LLM to explain something in ASD-STE100, it's a controlled language specification originally developed for aerospace maintenance documentation. LLMs well-versed in this language and it comes with heavy constraints on clean writing style that I often find a lot more readable. Sometimes I've tried to soften it a bit e.g. ask for "80% of the way to ASD-STE100" because the spec is quite stringent. But even better: Diagrams / images. Instead of writing, ask your LLM to create a diagram. These can be a lot easier to process, parse, and understand. But even better: Web pages. Ask for output "in HTML" to get a beautiful, interactive webpage. LLMs are getting really good at frontend and can create beautiful experiences, animations, etc. But even better: Explainer videos. The output format I am most bullish on is fully custom / bespoke explainer videos generated on any arbitrary topic. Experiment with things like "Create a 3b1b style video explainer on X. Use my ElevenLabs API key for audio narration". (you'd need an API key for the latter or you can ask your LLM to find you decent free alternatives that use your local compute). This is actually starting to work! In summary: - As LLMs get better, they will do more and more of the legwork autonomously, and a lot more of our work will rise up the abstractions into oversight and understanding. - Luckily, LLMs can help here too because as intelligence and code are increasingly abundant, you can ask for large, custom, discardable software artifacts (e.g. web apps, video explainers) that would have never made sense to create before. Push the boundaries here and you'll be surprised.

29.09.1957 в закрытом городе Челябинск-40 на секретном предприятии «Маяк» произошел взрыв ёмкости с радиоактивными отходами. Десятки близлежащих населённых пунктов накрыло радиоактивное облако. Тысячи людей подверглись заражению, многие умерли от онкологических заболеваний.

Hi @ZimaSpace, I need help with order #39458. I've ordered from you several times before and always paid the shipping cost shown at checkout. This time I'm being asked to pay an extra $73 for shipping after the order was placed. This doesn't seem right. Could you please look into this? Thanks.
