Recursive games with ChatGPT

Lior Fox, January 2023

TL;DR: I present examples of apparent "symbolic" capabilities of ChatGPT, and discuss some context and possible interpretations

Motivation and scope

ChatGPT probably requires no introduction at this stage. If you haven't had the chance to play with it yet, you should do so (as long as it free?). Before I dive in, it is perhaps better to clearly state what this post isn't about. I will not discuss:

• Social, political, or economical aspects of Large Language Models (LLMs) and their deployment

Some remarks on Large Language Models

Yoav Goldberg, January 2023

Audience: I assume you heard of chatGPT, maybe played with it a little, and was imressed by it (or tried very hard not to be). And that you also heard that it is "a large language model". And maybe that it "solved natural language understanding". Here is a short personal perspective of my thoughts of this (and similar) models, and where we stand with respect to language understanding.

Intro

Around 2014-2017, right within the rise of neural-network based methods for NLP, I was giving a semi-academic-semi-popsci lecture, revolving around the story that achieving perfect language modeling is equivalent to being as intelligent as a human. Somewhere around the same time I was also asked in an academic panel "what would you do if you were given infinite compute and no need to worry about labour costs" to which I cockily responded "I would train a really huge language model, just to show that it doesn't solve everything!".

Some NodeJs (v4.x) choices we can all agree on?

• Versioning: npm version patch|minor|major uses semver and so should we.
• Node.js version mgmt: .nvm file via https://github.com/creationix/nvm
• ENV vars: .env file (see: dotenv)
• Dependency locking: npm shrinkwrap (so we don't have to commit ./NODE_MODULES)
• Logging: winston
• Code style + linting: js-standard
• Security scanning: Snyk
• Build system: Gulp

Answering the Front-end developer JavaScript interview questions to the best of my ability.

• Explain event delegation

Sometimes you need to delegate events to things.

• Explain how this works in JavaScript

This references the object or "thing" defined elsewhere. It's like "hey, thing I defined elsewhere, I'm talkin' to you."

• Explain how prototypal inheritance works.

"Justice will only be achieved when those who are not injured by crime feel as indignant as those who are."

Git-workflow vs feature branching

When working with Git, there are two prevailing workflows are Git workflow and feature branches. IMHO, being more of a subscriber to continuous integration, I feel that the feature branch workflow is better suited, and the focus of this article.

If you are new to Git and Git-workflows, I suggest reading the atlassian.com Git Workflow article in addition to this as there is more detail there than presented here.

I admit, using Bash in the command line with the standard configuration leaves a bit to be desired when it comes to awareness of state. A tool that I suggest using follows these instructions on setting up GIT Bash autocompletion. This tool will assist you to better visualize the state of a branc
