I think this is definitely a step in the right direction, and is exactly the kind of answer I was looking for. Thank you!

`llm` gives my tool a standard bin to call to invoke completions, and configuring and managing it is the user's responsibility.

If more tools started expecting something like this, it could become a defacto standard. Then maybe the OS would begin to provide it.

At the start of the game, qRook - king - kRook all store the location e1.

If the king moves (say we're playing the Bongcloud), qR and kR get set back to their original squares, a1 and h1. Now if the King slides back, castling is off the board.

I think there is another article waiting to be written, why ReStructured Text lost.

I know that in my younger years I would get a lot of flak for converting .rst files into .md when I joined projects.

(As I got older I just stopped seeing .rst that much)

I love reST and I think it lost primarily because of distribution. I.e., the people using it did not have large audiences and didn't put much effort into promoting it.

It's a shame because reST is almost as easy on the eyes as Markdown and is much more capable without being too much more complex.

Why would you do that? Seems terribly impolite to join a project and start breaking things...

rST is still fairly popular in Python circles, especially for anyone using Sphinx.

Seconded. @tomraberbach, today in conversation someone mentioned Paul Buchheit's invention of Gmail as a 20% project. The next time, I'll mention you!

Heh I think the scale is a bit different, but I'm honored :)

It's not a typical day for me, but I sent 0 emails (Gmail is my standard) but edited 2 Docs with Markdown.

Well that's awesome!

Out of curiosity, do you mean the "autocomplete" feature or the import/export/copy/paste feature? (I did both)

I'm curious which startup, if you wouldn't mind sharing?

For reciprocity, I work at Imbue, and we can also attest to the real work complexities of this domain.

Called Ziva[0], we do AI agents for game development. If you want to jump on a call and discuss strategies, my email is in my bio

Disclosure, I do work for Josh, and I can tell you that he's thought quite deeply about the negative implications of the agents that are coming. Among enumerating the ways in which AI agents will transform knowledge work, this points out the ways which we might come to regret.

Is there a Linux-y standard brewing?

Each distro is doing their own thing. If you are targeting Linux mainly, I would suggest to code it on top of ollama or LiteLLM

I will take the bait and selectively flame the use of "f. ex" for "for example", when the standard e.g. is available.

Thought-provoking article, nonetheless!

One thing I find myself wanting is an emacs-lite alternative to less/more. Something that would let me page though a file, but use my emacs bindings to search, filter, browse etc. I've already built up my muscle memory, so it would be great if I could reuse it for this purpose.

Thought I'd tag along to this submission and see if anyone has a recommendation?

Answering my own question after a brief wiki walk from most (referenced in another comment) -> pagers -> Terminal Pager.

`emacs -nw -e "(view-mode)"`
