Check out deepwiki.com, which is quite similar and works well

Most intriguing thing in that vein I've seen: https://thymer.com (haven't used it, am not affiliated, just looked promising in a demo video esp. on performance grounds)

No, it's an independent, JS-only implementation, and it's way, way less featureful.

I believe it uses an cross compiled version of dot in js

Reading all these comments, it seems we as a community don't yet have an idea how to write effectively for LLMs. E.g., I guess markdown tables are harder to process, since the row-column-value mapping first needs to be decoded. Or is this irrelevant?

Don't check in any code, only prompts. The product is reconfabulated on every build.

There will be companies founded on executing this idea.

> How do they get the words out to the locals when they move place?

These particular restauranteurs are effectively local rock stars, and they have a fan base that keeps track of what they're up to. That fan base then tells other locals.

> Do people constantly try new ones that just pop up?

Lots of people do this as well. Any non-chain restaurant that opens up has very busy first weeks as everyone who cares gives it a try.

> I find myself living in the same town in years without finding a single restaurant that I can call "truly exceptional".

Yes, I'm fortunate in that the town I live in (which is a smallish mid-size city, not a big one) values exceptional dining as part of the culture, so people who enjoy making exceptional food are attracted here. Not all cities are like this.

I love how you make sure not to mention the city name, so that not too many people will suddenly show up

Interesting. In that case offering a submissive message may mollify the interlocutor in exchange for a response, but at the cost of signalling to other readers that their position is sensible.

My grandma used to say that arguing something is the greatest concession.

Consider A:

-Earth is flat

- it is not, earth is round

- ya it is, john doe proved it

- ok sorry for not understanding could you please explain what john doe said?

Or B:

- earth is flat

- yo momma's butt is flat

Yes B, loses the battle for the one mind, but when you consider the readers, you are simply avoiding platforming an idiot and playing a dumb strawman to boot.

I guess it all comes down to whether you view the internet as the greek agora or the roman circus.

All of this rational debate and usage of latin phrases for fallacies brings back memories of teenage years of online debating. I get that it's election time at the homeland and some people are campaigning, but you get more votes making a strawman of your opponent and making a thread viral than going one by one changing minds. Who here thinks twitter is a platform for rational discourse? Ha!

The best summary I've ever read about the internet

I prefer Asciidoc over markdown for documents where chapters, cross references, call outs, etc are valuable. For things that one might want to turn into a PDF.

The tooling is a bit of a pain, but the Java world has pretty good integration (gradle, intellij)

xamde · a year ago
A shout out to the intellij plugin developer. The Asciidoc plugin has so many nice little Features. E.g. consistent file renames, or paste as screenshot which auto creates a file and embeds it.

Also, Basic statistical reasoning is required. And some core facts about our physical world. What about an open curriculum listing the most important things in a teachable order?
