Shouldn't come as a surprise if you paid attention to C++ evolutions for the past 30 years. We're now reaping the fruits though, so it's really become easy to keep both options in sight when designing. This is especially important for performance sensitive code.

Nothing really new here (apart from the "how easy it is these days!")... Still it needs to be reminded on a regular basis. :-)

OK, this is a pre-print so to take with a truckload of salt. If further nice results get built up on this it could turn out interesting though. This is a much more intellectually satisfying approach than the current arm race of "let's throw bigger models at the problem". This has the potentially of reducing the computational complexity of those models, this is definitely welcome in term of energy and hardware requirements. Let's wait and see...

Interesting tool... this is generally done with tools where you're captured into a GUI. Moving this to text and static generation opens the door to proper versioning etc.

This was only a matter of time. It'll be interesting to see how this will unfold. Potentially it could turn into lawsuit cases being built up, it could also mean content producers get a cut down the line... of course could be both. Since FOSS code also ends up in training those models I'm even wondering if that could lead to money going back to the authors. We'll see where that goes.

Very nice resource if you wondered about the journey to space.
