Review

Recently I listened to an interesting TED talk suggested by our CEO:

https://www.ted.com/talks/yejin_choi_why_ai_is_incredibly_smart_and_shockingly_stupid

That was quite interesting insight in strength and weaknesses of AI LLM like ChatGPT.

• Large Language Models(LLM) training date is huge but reasoning is still quite weak.
• LLM sustainability is an open question
• LLM think what next word to say, not what to say.
  • And that’s why they hallucinate.
• Even before watching this talk I got impression of LLM as super/very hardworking and at the same time very low intelligence system.
• AI Scientist in a talk tells that we should work on more intelligent models, idea is replace quantity with quality have a lot of downsides.
• So LLM is not something to fear, it’s something to stay and be useful. But we can do much better AI systems in future :)

How to display commands that you type in Normal mode in statusbar

As a novice in vim I would like to visually see which command I’m typing when I use VIM.
It appears not so straightforward in SpaceVIM as it already have pretty much magic around configuration.
When I wrote this documentation I used spacevim version 2.1.0 and neovim version 0.9.

Intro

I use some KDE applications on my Macbook Pro.
And some of them looks very bad with MacOS X dark mode.
So I would like to disable dark mode for those specific applications.
