I usually have this technical hypothetical discussions with ChatGpt, I can share if you like, me asking him this: aren't LLMs just huge Markov Chains?! And now I see your project... Funny

> I can share if you like

Respectfully, absolutely nobody wants to read a copy-and-paste of a chat session with ChatGPT.

Yes, I made one using bitlbee back in the 2000s, good times!

I made one for Hipchat at a company. I can't remember if it could emulate specific users, or just channels, but both were definitely on my roadmap at the time.

I don't understand where the definitions of the highlighted terms comes from. The plugin one makes sense, but the one for "meta" doesn't really seem to, especially in the context of the sentence it's used in, or the reference to `get_post_meta` below:

> Meta is a term that refers to the inside workings of a group. For us, this is the team that works on internal WordPress sites like WordCamp Central and Make WordPress.

Did AI generate and insert these "helpful" definitions?

macOS doesn't require this. My Apple account has a handful of apps purchased over the years, and that's it. I could've bought them directly from the vendors, but the store makes it easier to update.

> I am not a casual user. I have literally written the book on Apple development (taking over the Learning Cocoa with Objective-C series, which Apple themselves used to write, for O’Reilly Media, and then 20+ books following that). I help run the longest-running Apple developer event not run by Apple themselves, /dev/world. I have effectively been an evangelist for this company’s technology for my entire professional life. We had an app on the App Store on Day 1 in every sense of the world.

I am surprised that with such a pedigree, the author doesn't already have contacts at Apple they could reach out to for that personal touch.

That's part of the point, I believe. It's not about being always able to guess the function from first sight. It's also about the function and name serving as mnemonic to each other once you understand how it got named.

"libsodium" -> "salt" -> "salting is something tangentially related to cryptography" is significantly better as a mnemonic than "awk stands for the author's initials".

However once you learn that sed means stream editor, you won't ever forget it. libsodium is forgettable.

I feel like this is approximately the third time I'm learning this.

I don't think this is limited to the EU.
