| Jan 30, 2018 at 14:49 | comment | added | Craig Ayre | Nice solution! Could you save a few bytes (4?) by storing aliasing 'slice'? | |
| Jan 24, 2018 at 14:42 | comment | added | Arnauld | @KevinCruijssen The second [LF] is a correct guess. The first one is a bad guess ([LF] instead of g and comma, respectively). | |
| Jan 24, 2018 at 13:46 | comment | added | Kevin Cruijssen |
Nitpicking, but shouldn't there be an underscore at the "By replacing bad guesses with underscores, we have a better idea of what the function got right:" part for the second [LF]s?

| Jan 11, 2018 at 9:36 | comment | added | N. Virgo | I've updated the question with a version of the file where the text is not wrapped - you can probably save some points by using that | |
| Jan 11, 2018 at 4:04 | comment | added | Zach Boyd | This answer Is currently the most upvoted but not the best score. Still a cool answer of course. | |
| Jan 11, 2018 at 1:19 | comment | added | Scott | @immibis - considering the output, maybe save this code for the inevitable 'call of cthulu' repeat. | |
| Jan 11, 2018 at 0:20 | comment | added | Draco18s no longer trusts SE | Ah, in which case I'd say "some form of white space." But oh well. (Followed by quotes...oh, at the end of someone speaking. Ok, white space and more punctuation! :D) | |
| Jan 11, 2018 at 0:16 | comment | added | Arnauld | @Draco18s I've just tried it (for the comma only) and it resulted in a loss of 92 points. Commas are also quite often followed by line feeds, quotes or double-quotes, so it's probably better to just let the model decide. | |
| Jan 11, 2018 at 0:08 | comment | added | Draco18s no longer trusts SE | @Arnauld That's a good point. I was just curious what the result might be. | |
| Jan 10, 2018 at 23:57 | comment | added | Arnauld | @Draco18s It's hard to tell whether this comma was a good or a bad guess. If it was a bad guess, the prediction function may have legitimately tried to put a letter after whatever-other-letter-that-was-actually-there-instead-of-the-comma once it received it. | |
| Jan 10, 2018 at 22:58 | comment | added | Draco18s no longer trusts SE | The comment of the produced output includes a comma followed by a character other than a space. Would the score improve if you assumed that most punctuation (apart from the apostrophe) will always be followed by a space? | |
| Jan 10, 2018 at 20:20 | comment | added | Beska | I think your program is actually doing a perfect translation into Gaelic. | |

| Jan 10, 2018 at 9:45 | comment | added | Arnauld | @Nathaniel There's been many updates, so that would be barely readable and not really informative. I've added a change log instead with short explanations about the improvements. | |

It's good to include your old score, crossed out using <strike> tags, so we can see that you've improved it.

For the curious, no, this does not produce anything like Moby Dick. It's a whole lot of sidg tlanses,oeth to, shuld hottut tild aoersors Ch, th! Sa, yr!
