Here is the meat of that argument, explaining why (allegedly) false speech is simply not "fraud":

“It will be a good joke on us all if, in fifty years or so, Dylan is regarded as a significant figure in English poetry.” [NYTimes 1967 review] Interesting how that all turned out, right?”

“She [EtsyWitch222] is one of thousands of people in what venture capitalists call the ‘mystical services market,’ which includes other popular topics like astrology. That market, in 2019, was estimated to be worth more than $2 billion.”
It’s always the MSM…

There's at least 4 senses in which 'emergent properties' are used in NLP papers. Based on my polls, the most prevalent one turns out to be the one that makes the most headlines, but for which there is the least empirical evidence: the properties not backed by training data.

Thank you for the link. About six months ago I was told not to include a URL in alt-text since it is: not clickable; spoken as an annoying spelled out string by screen readers. I was trying to be helpful, but…
Now I try to include any important image related link in the post text.

Congratulations! A scatter of quickly fixable bugs and a declining bug rate is a sign of a solid architecture. You should all feel good.

All sorts. Petrarch is the only exception. But even when an author published their own letters, they didn’t do it in chronological order (though there was often a strand of chronology). Most Latin letters survived as dossiers in a topic or to a specific person. 18th c editors decided to order them.

That is fascinating! Are we talking about collections of letters to or from a single person? Or some other type of collection?

Interestingly, letter collections only started to be organized chronologically on the 18th c. Before that, they were almost exclusively topical or by addressee.

Narrative structure is one of the strongest organizing patterns the human brain has and, while not all narrative is chronological, that's the most common form.

At NRL in the 1970’s I used this approach to give one day QuickStarts for Navy Captains with no computer background, rotating into computer related assignment.
Start programming a machine language simulator and walk up through the scaffolding of OS, compiled languages, and sytems architecture.

Learning this way did a good job demystifying how layers worked as I started working top down over layers I had to learn and trust rather than construct .
It was Andy van Dam’s original two semester, two course per semester (Theory and Programming) boot camp sequence, with a 40+ hour/week workload.

I learned to program in chronological order:
from hex machine code and simple assembler (on a simulator);
to real S/360 assembler, then design using macros, design building on macro libraries, design of macro libraries;
Finally FORTRAN, APL, PL/I, PL/S, Bliss, LISP, exotic languages
