Totally, but even the books are still more likely to only be in the initial training. And not play a significant part when it's tuned. The base model and books teach it how things work, but the tuning is what gives it tone.

It only trains on the internet for the base model. It's then trained on custom examples, that humans have been paid to write to tune it towards behaving in a particular way.
Models only trained on the raw internet are too prone to being rude and other undesirable outputs.

What a LLM learns during fine tuning is much stronger than what's in the user prompt.
The reason it's ignoring the request to use fewer emojis is likely that the training data is just too biased to using emoji, and not enough examples of following the request not to use them.

I've found chatting with LLMs very useful. But have had to turn off inline suggestions. Too much time spent reading the suggestion, only to reject it because it's not what I'm trying to do.
If I've only typed two characters, that is not enough to read my mind.

Exactly, the proposal is to also make the Reflect.get("then") also async.
( is my understanding)

@rich-harris.dev btw this behaviour, is being discussed at TC39 plenary next week.
The proposal is that user-land "then" properties will no longer be executed synchronously (as I understand it)

One snag with remove on save: temporarily commenting out code to check something and then un-commenting later.
Might have gotten better but this put me off.

I am hoping we can write some custom rules without compiling to native or sacrificing too much perf. Maybe these will have to be expressed declaratively like ast-grep.

> "now the bar() function is being called directly, with no object property access"
To be fair this also happens if the caller imports the function by name.
I wouldn't want to see any function declaration assume its `this` is a module namespace.

I keep going back and forth on if a good film would be easier or harder than a good book.
When a book is adapted for screen lots is cut out.
But a book can just describe something, a video needs to look believable.

Capturing for posterity:
I asked ChatGPT "When do you think there will be a best selling novel written entirely by AI?"
A: "You might see a fully AI-authored book in the Amazon Top 100 by the late 2020s, and a New York Times best-seller by early 2030s."
