Please define what "predicting the next token" means. The next token according to what probability distribution? Couldn't every process that produces text (including humans writing) be modeled as predicting the next token according to some distribution?

Why does it have to be a website? Why merely "CLI-inspired" and not actually CLIs?

hrm. so i guess if the question is why not just make a software forge that is _only_ based in the CLI, the answer i think is convenience.

it's very convenient to be sent a link (or find it on hacker news) and to be able to click around files, read the README, understand what a repository is about without having to clone it and open locally. plus -- if you only need a barebones git server with no web UI, git provides this by default.

if the question is, will you build a CLI / what will be in it? the answer is yes, we do have a barebones CLI for auth as of now, do envision things like managing issues / PRs from the CLI, but want to make sure that strike the right balance there.

i think TUIs can be deceptively hard to build well, and admittedly, it hasn't been a priority for us quite yet.

Removes a barrier of entry if you can look at it from a browser instead of installing a CLI/TUI.

Don't try to make me install a random program if I can view it in my sandboxed browser safely.

Also, browsers have greasemonkey to help me personalize websites easily. TUIs don't.

Obviously, and I'm a bit taken aback that anyone thinks otherwise.

You are absolutely 100% wrong about this. It is entirely possible in the US to enter into contracts that limit your rights, including freedom of speech. People do this routinely, and it is enforceable.

The reason you can't give away your kidney in an employment contract is because there is a specific law banning that: the National Organ Transplant Act of 1984, which bans transferring a human organ in exchange for valuable consideration.

> It is something you innately have.

That is nonsense. "Freedoms" and "rights" are inherently social constructs. What does it even mean to say you "innately have" freedom of speech? That is a borderline religious claim, like saying you innately have a soul.

It is perfectly legal to sell tickets to an event and require people going there not to express political opinions.

> No contract is allowed to take away what the law gives you.

That's incorrect. In fact this is exactly what all contracts do.

All contracts take away rights that the law explicitly guarantees you? Such confidence. Sometimes talking to an LLM is an improvement...

Of course. For example, the law guarantees that I don't have to perform labor for someone else if I don't want to. An employment contract obligates me to.

Similarly, it's entirely possible to enter into a contract limiting your freedom of speech.

The entire point of a contract is to promise to do, or not to do, something that you could have freely chosen to do or not to do under the law without any contract.

Pretty sure you are mistaken. Look up public policy violations. Typically you can't negotiate away rights

No. It’s not illegal to express that opinion (or any opinion) in public in the US in any normal scenario. I’m not sure to what extent the law is different on planes, but you can go outside on the street and yell “free Palestine, F Zionists” to your heart’s content and you will not have broken any laws.

If you genuinely fear for the lives of everyone on board, who gives a shit about logistics?

I guess you can infer how they weighted the two concerns

It was standard practice during the Troubles in Northern Ireland, for example.
