> See Harry Potter with s/wand/wang/g, for example.

Honestly, pretty similar meaning tbh haha

I think it would be hard to do that across lots of words, especially when we know some of the words and the context. For example, they probably aren't talking about counting wangs in these agricultural audits.

> This is like saying that we know code is correct (bug free) because most of the lines sort of look correct. It's not /inherently/ an untrue statement, but it doesn't match up with any sort of real world experience.

That's actually a really good analogy. I'm thinking so long as the code "builds", then it's likely that the code can execute, and at that point, the code is worth reviewing.

There's only around 600 characters/words to guess across about 700 tablets. Let's say there's about 2 sentences per tablet, so roughly around 1400 sentences to test against the guessed dictionary.

If we simply loop through, iteratively building up this dictionary, making small adjustments and happen to get to something like 80% of the sentences passing the review (i.e. not nonsense sentences, saying something with meaning, thew meaning makes sense in the context of the period etc). Then our word predictions are likely close to the original.

Like what are the chances you can choose the wrong word across lets say 200 sentences, and still maintain meaning in all of those sentences? And then multiply that guessing all the words?

Apologies friends, this might be a really dumb idea for lots of different reasons, but sometimes you have to put even dumb ideas into the wild.

The basic premise is this: 1. We provide a dictionary of Linear A 1. We provide a bunch (ideally all) of the Linear A sentences to GPT 2. It attempts to guess the missing words in a sentence, given the context of the time, and the words it does know 3. GPT reviews, and approves/disproves the translation 4. The process repeats

What am I missing? Given infinite time/compute, isn't it possible GPT could guess the correct translation? And we'll know it's correct when most of the sentences sort of sound correct?

Forks, thoughts, and death threats are appreciated. But ideally in that order.

Put one of my prompts into GPT with access to DALL-E and Code Interpreter, and now it can manage rolls, combat, and actually show you what's happening to your character

I'd be very interested to understand how this works, does anyone know if they've released any guides or if someone has documented trying to do something similiar?

My bad on this and it has been fixed!

I was using the README as a todo list for things left to do, and removed a bunch of stuff at once, didn't realise I removed the license.

Great point, I've added a search with a page that lists all the articles for the best of both worlds.

It really needed dark mode on desktop, I've saving eyes here Paul.

Awesome, glad you liked the piece!

Genuinely, we're all just steamrollers and I don't think many new programmers really understand just how often solving a problem comes down to sheer willpower and persistence.
