That is why I like the way Raku handles it. It has distinct .chars .codes and .bytes that you can specify depending on the use case. And if you try to use .length is complains asking you to use one of the other options to clarify your inten

As far as I understand in this specific case yes. The whole schtick of GPT-3 is the insight that we do not need to come up with a better algorithm than GPT-2. If we dramatically increase the number of parameters without changing the archit

Off the top of my head: Concurrency and parallelism using high level and low level APIs. There is no GIL. Grammars which are like regular expressions on steroids for parsing. ( admittedly still not optimized for speed) Gradual typing, you
