Zompist Bboard Again

I actually just meant the code point orders. I didn't know there was a non-locale-specific collation order for unicode.

If you take the unicode order route, make sure to normalize the strings before comparing them. You'll have to consider things like v̥ vs. v̊ and t̠ʃ vs t̠͡ʃ vs. t̠͜ʃ.

I don't know if this is standard, but you can maybe look at what PHOIBLE does: ordering of diacritics and modifier letters.

To me it seems a bit pointless to argue whether or not LLM are AI. Depending on who you ask, even simple search algorithms are AI. This textbook , first published in 1995, has four chapters on search algorithms. I think part of the reason for the ambiguity (and the reason that researchers keep chang...

This thread must have triggered my dream. I dreamt I was in a classroom with a bunch of other students. Then the teacher made the students sit in a different seat than the usual seating arrangement. I don't remember anything else after that.

I think anything goes in the random threads. It should be okay to post stupid joke conlangs here.

I like Roboto Slab for reading. In my conlang docs, I use Andika or Charis SIL.

One of my favorite videos is this cover of demiurge shot with a headstock cam.

A cutting board that's been repurposed as a serving tray. Or a charcuterie board.

Despite all that, they differed from chatGPT in one critical aspect: their human operators retained complete control over the text they printed. Uniquely among technologies, AI does not grant its supposed users total control over its output but rather chooses its own output without us knowing what ...

But encyclopedias and law codes have no ability to make decisions on their own and their construction is entirely transparent to their creators. Artificial intelligence can act autonomously and according to principles that even its creators cannot necessarily explain. What should we do when the AI ...

Perhaps "missing" was the wrong word. What I had in mind was something like

"the book that I'm reading"

The object argument to "I'm reading" is external to the phrase.

---

And I found the term I was looking for. It was just "relative clause."

What do you call a phrase that has a verb and all but one of its arguments?

"Predicate" seems close enough, but I think it only refers to expressions with a missing subject. I also need a term for a phrase that has, for example, a subject and a transitive verb, but has a missing object.

I have a few dozen glosses and fragments of my language's grammar in the form of production rules. I want to check if the sentences are consistent with my language's grammar.

Is there an existing tool that can parse glosses for grammar checking?

well, the power and ethics is to control the AI making. it's not an all or nothing plan. and it's not a runaway train either, machines are almost always at the behest of the humans who started them up. But once the AIs become smart enough, controlling them will become impossible. Imagine ants tryin...

When is it acceptable to use a plural verb after an interrogative who?

1. Who are they?
2. Who make these toys? (as in "Who are the people that make these toys?")
3. Who bring their own food?
4. Who have been to the island?

On the other hand, I would prefer to manage AI than for AI to manage me.
