> Rhythm, tempo, rubato and ornamentation can be freely combined. This gives rise to a large inventory of distinguishable codas — a “sperm whale phonetic alphabet” that makes it possible to systematically explain observed variability in coda structure.
It's remarkable how musical analysis is at the forefront here as a central categorizing schema.
There's remains a lot of mystery surrounding human neurology with respect to music, but it seems tha music travels different pathways than verbal communications, while still having "liguistic" features.
Music might even have vestigial function for us that birdsong and whalesong are still maintaining.
Why does this post link to a renamed fork of Paper-QA (https://github.com/whitead/paper-qa) which has made zero changes and is 19 commits behind the original?
IANAL, but the short answer is you can't use US Copyright law to restrict how content is consumed. The limited protection given to authors by the law is to restrict what others can publish.
The law has been thoroughly litigated over web publishing and search engines so there is plenty of precedent to read up on if you want to understand why (short of a huge and super unlikely change to the laws) what you want can't (and shouldn't - the US Constitution created copyright in order to incentivize creators to publish their works instead of keeping them under lock and key) just search for things like [copyright and web search engines]:
If you want limitations that aren't implemented in copyright law then you'll need to only share your content to others privately and under a contract they've agreed to.
If the DOJ's case is that Google pays $10B to Apple to exclude competitors then they're suing the wrong company. Their story is actually that Apple is the one with the monopoly that they then sell piecemeal to third parties. Therefore (if that is illegal) it is Apple's behavior they have to change.
Humans don't need the Semantic Web, AI/bots do. It is expensive to turn text into the useful semantic bits that are useful for doing computations on large (or even moderate) quantities of data. So the AI will create a new Semantic Web3 that any bot (or human) can contribute to on any topic (especially about anything on the web).
LLMs are more likely to create novel content (i.e. "hallucinate") than copy training data verbatim, so, in a word, "No". In fact the unpredictability and hallucination behavior is what is called creativity in artistic domains. The whole Stochastic Parrots paper and concept originated with Luddites who don't want this technology to advance to the point where is generally useful and applicable. And while the Luddites (people who smashed the first robots, Jacquard Looms which were programmable machines that did a job only humans were previously able to perform) had a justifiable concern about negative impacts (the loss of employment took two generations to recover) it is safe to say that the Industrial Revolution has had more positive effects (e.g. life expectancy, per capita wealth) in total.
Four COBOL for the JVM implementations here along with Prolog, Common Lisp, four versions of Scheme (don't forget Clojure), Smalltalk, two versions of Pascal, Go, Rust, three JavaScript, Simula (the original OO language), and Basic (among others):
GCC-Bridge, a C/Fortran compiler targeting the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) that makes it possible for Renjin to run R packages that include "native" C and Fortran code
This is great. Would love to be able to enable this on my keyboard for typing everything as a bit of an upgrade over my super clicky mechanical keyboard.
Thanks to your exceptional focus and determination you've arrived early at what is widely called Midlife Crisis. The aphorism your story brings to my mind is "Don't just do something, sit there!". Not sure what will help you but I highly recommend a 23 minute investment in David Foster Wallace's "This is Water": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PhhC_N6Bm_s

Ridiculous how many articles repeat the NYT'$ paywalled headline but don't report any sources.
