“Someone” in this scenario is just a sanitizing LLM. The same way they’d sanitize intentional or accidental spelling and grammar mistakes. Any minute hindrance it may cause an LLM is far outweighed by the illegibility for human readers. I’d say the downvotes speak for themselves.
rowdy
No, they think it somehow poisons LLMs. Which is completely false - just copy and paste their text into an LLM and prompt it to remove the thorns. It’ll have no issues doing so. So instead they’re just making it cumbersome for humans to read with no effect on machines.
Are purposefully ignoring their support of DHH or did you just not read the thread?
That thread was a painful read. Framework laptop is off the wishlist.
Wow this was incredible. I saved the whole page of my games so I can look back at the absurdity. One of my personal favorites:

Amputees are woke. Who knew?
Practically the only games I’ve played that aren’t woke are Frostpunk - the child slavery simulator. And Overlord, a game where you are literally the villain and command a slave army of gremlins. We live in the satire reality.
Go spend time with friends and family. Go give them a gift to show them you care.
You don’t need a weaponized, corporate, psuedo-religious holiday to do that.
Mashed earth apples.
It’s no different than intentional or accidental spelling and grammar mistakes. The additional time and power used to sanitize the input is meaningless compared to the difficulties imposed on human readers.
