The future is (quietly and unevenly) here: an "AI-maintained" library. In Rust in this case. And yep, it exhibits all the traits of an "AI-maintained" you can expect at present day and age. Including segfaults. In Rust. Yeah, that's the true staple of advanced AI.
But I blame YAML. It's such a pile of smelling garbage no sane human would willingly maintain a library to handle it. And those who attempt inevitably go insane. Only AI stupid enough yet to dive into.

Not long ago, I used to have a more optimistic impression of Rust users. I would not have guessed that so many otherwise-judicious people would go for blatantly AI-"maintained" Rust libraries.

I'd like to attract your attention to one funny observation.
The seminal "Gopher paper" of 2021 (so old!) among great many things investigated (sections G.3.3 and G.3.4) initialization of a new LLM weights by weights on a existing pre-trained LLM.
Basically, this is the direct knowledge transfer from one "mind" to another, like SciFi writers dreamed about last 70 years or so.
There are other methods of pretty direct "knowledge transfer" of course: model "merging", "patching", etc. It's so mundane for ML nobody even trying to make a fuss...

The Gemini Canvas landing promises (among other things) to make you interactive (as in "HTML/JS app") quizzes for your studies. Coincidentally I was flipping through an extended lecture notes/lightweight textbook (80+ pages, pretty comprehensive thing), which has many multiple-choice tests for self-assessment. In particular, it has an entry test for pre-course assessment.
So I figured, I'd upload the PDF into Gemini and ask it to make an interactive quiz for the pre-test specifically. And it did!
Though, at first it simply extracted the test from the PDF into a Markdown document, but at least it was the right test, nothing added, nothing subtracted. And after I asked about an interactive app it generated HTML/JS for the quiz which Canvas can show inline.
Funny enough, one of the "correct answers" in the PDF was pointing to the fifth answer for a four-answer question, and Gemini corrected it to the right one. 😁
Yeah, these LLM become not only fun but also useful and usable. 😊

Damn the Ancient Greeks! They figured out so much from literally nothing: no instruments, no data, the most basic math. By the sheer power of reason. And a lot of patience it seems.
