    Thanks for all the information you provided. I will read Rust by Example and stop posting in this thread to avoid deviating from the OP. Anyway, perhaps other readers are learning …

    Thanks for the info. I imagine that in this care, since it seems the error is not captured, it should end producing panic. So a question mark is used when the expected result is of…

    Yes, the concept of "syntactic complexity" applied to LLMs can be very different of what we think and I think it depends of the tokenizer. Perhaps LLMs could be fine-tuned by using…

    I usually use deepseek (gratis) for code, and when using defun and let it usually lacks one (or more) closing parenthesis. So the way to mark the end is not well understood by this…

    Cognitive load in LLMs: When LLMs are faced with syntactic complexity (Lisp/J parentheses/RL-NOP), distractors (cat facts), or unfamiliar paradigms (right-to-left evaluation), the …
