A very interesting article on how LLMs might actually work. I am sceptic about the overextension of the work to cognitive sciences but the authors make a good point. I wonder what the actual cognitive scientists might say.

We report on an astonishing ability of large language models (LLMs) to make sense of "Jabberwocky" language in which most or all content words have been randomly replaced by nonsense strings, e.g., translating "He dwushed a ghanc zawk" to "He dragged a spare chair". This result addresses ongoing controversies regarding how to best think of what LLMs are doing: are they a language mimic, a database, a blurry version of the Web? The ability of LLMs to recover meaning from structural patterns speaks to the unreasonable effectiveness of pattern-matching. Pattern-matching is not an alternative to "real" intelligence, but rather a key ingredient.

Match Statement vs Match Expression: Pattern Matching War
Python 3.10 vs PHP 8 match - both new, both powerful! Which language nailed pattern matching? This will spark debate!

🧵 2/n Didn't Taran Van Hemert, the video editor who worked for #LinusTechTips, drive #AutoHotkey to it's limit?
I think this tool can do graphical #PatternMatching, click on things, and process scripts(with loops and tests), right?

Match Expression vs Match Statement: Pattern Matching Magic
PHP 8's match expression vs Python 3.10's match statement. Which language's pattern matching is more elegant? You won't believe this!

Still coupling logic and data in your #Java code? #DataOrientedProgramming with records and #PatternMatching lets you model valid states cleanly and move logic out of your types.

🚀 **Pattern Matching em Python: Diga adeus às árvores de if/elif verbosos!** 💻
Acabei de publicar um guia técnico completo sobre o **match/case** do Python 3.10+: destructuring de listas, dicts, classes, guards e como ele **aniquila** o switch case tradicional de C/Java. Exemplos práticos para APIs REST, eventos JSON e full-stack!
Por que usar?
- Código 50-70% mais limpo
- Sem fallthrough bugs
- Poder estrutural nativo
