I used to use it, but very rarely, since it's instant UB if you get it wrong. In tiny codebases which you can hold in your head it's probably practical to sprinkle it everywhere, but in anything bigger it's quite risky.
Nevertheless, I don't write normal everyday C code anymore since Rust has pretty much made it completely obsolete for the type of software I write.
restrict works by making some situations undefined behavior that would otherwise be defined without it. It is probably unwise to use casually or habitually.
I think what parent-poster means is humans dream of something at least like, say, ship's computer from Star Trek, which accepts some degree of fuzzy input for known categories of tasks and asks clarifying questions when needed.
Albeit with fewer features involving auto-destruct sequences... Or rogue holodeck characters.
"compressed size" does not seem to include the size of the model and the code to run it. According to the rules of Large Text Compression Benchmark, total size of those must be counted, otherwise a 0-byte "compressed" file with a decompressor containing the plaintext would win.
Technically correct, but a better benchmark would be a known compressor with an unknown set of inputs (that come from a real-world population, e.g. coherent English text).
Yes, definitely. Alas, it's just harder to run these kinds of challenges completely fairly and self-administered, than the ones where you have a fixed texts as the challenge and add the binary size of the decompressor.
Yeah, but the xz algorithm is also not counted in the bytes... Here the "program" is the LLM, much like your brain remembers things by coding them compressed and then reconstructs them. It is a different type of compression: compression by "understanding", which requires the whole corpus of possible inputs in some representation. The comparison is not fair to classical algorithms yet that's how you can compress a lot more (given a particular language): by having a model of it.
True for competitions, but if your compression algorithm is general purpose then this matters less (within reason - no one wants to lug around a 1TB compression program).
I will defend absolute freedom of all speech by Musk and against Musk. By Adobe and against Adobe. My Microsoft and against Microsoft. By you and against you. By me and against me. Unlike many who merely theorize about this from their armchairs, I've lived in a place without free speech and I know what that leads to, how fast, and how hard it is to get out of that hole. There is no such thing as "let's just have a little less freedom of speech". It either exists or very quickly it does not.
Should it be legal to (1) create and (2) distribute an AI generated sexual image of a (1) 18 year old, (2) 12 year old? (In both cases without their consent.)
Unbelievable. People pretending not to understand something stated very clearly just to insult someone they don’t even know. Is this where society is now?

Your support of the "absolute freedom" of "all speech" is very clear. If you somehow didn't mean the words you chose, then the lack of clarity is on you, and needs no pretense on my part.
