Today in Writing History July 12, 1562: Fray Diego de Landa, Bishop of Yucatán, burned the sacred idols and books of the Maya. There were many Mayan books in print at the time of the conquest. They were produced as codices, or folding books, printed on bark paper by professional scribes and were the main written record of Maya civilization. De Landa wrote: “We found a large number of books in these characters and, as they contained nothing in which were not to be seen as superstition and lies of the devil, we burned them all, which they regretted to an amazing degree, and which caused them much affliction.” There are four known Mayan codices still in existence.

Regarding #GitHubCopilot and #LLM's in general:
In examples they always show this:
- Code that has a bug in it
- Prompting the #AI to find the bug
It is pretty impressive, indeed.
But what will happen, if you have actually perfect valid code and no bug in it at all? What will the AI answer? Will it hallucinate?
If it doesn't say "your code is fine - nothing to do", it's not very helpful at all.
Can someone please try this for me? Thank you.

Hi everyone! I'm an #sff and #middlegrade writer. I have a #dogsofmastodon named Bagel, and I like to #bake sculpted cakes. I'm disabled with #mecfs and sometimes write about it. You can make me smile with an animal pic or a bad pun. (That's a lie, there are no bad puns.)
Still figuring out how to use this site right!
