Clicked into an article about nuclear weapons and was thinking "wow, the quality of this article is horrible" before I realized it was Simple English Wikipedia. I didn't even know that was a thing.
No. Absolutely not. The opposite in fact. Your bash script is deterministic. You can send it to 20 AIs or have someone fluent read it. Then you can be confident it’s safe.
An LLM will run the probabilistically likely command each time. This is like using Excel’s ridiculous feature to have a cell be populated by copilot rather than having the AI generate a deterministic formula.
I would think that the common bash scripts we already have would provide an agent better context for installation than a markdown file, and even better, they already work without an LLM.
I can definitely see where you're coming from and agree to a large extent. I was asking myself that question a lot when thinking about this.
What pushed me over the edge was actually feeding bash install scripts into agents and seeing them not perform well. It does work, but a lot worse than this install.md thing.
In the docs for the proposal I wrote the following:
>install.md files are direct commands, not just documentation. The format is structured to trigger immediate autonomous execution.[1]
Google loves wreaking havoc on web standards. Is there really anything anyone can do about it at this point? The number of us using alternative browsers are a drop in the bucket when compared to Chrome's market share.
In NYC it's hard enough to get people not to call them e-bikes (even when they are gas powered), I've given up on the scooter distinction (which then also becomes ambiguous with what I can only call "kick-scooters", most of which are not kick-powered these days).
This is a hardware reveal trailer. Nintendo likely released this because of all of the recent leaks, which have put their 3rd party accessory vendors in a weird position. More details will be revealed at the Nintendo Direct on the 2nd.
