Technically not wrong…

Discovered a neat new tool last week: <https://github.com/wr7/refold>

It's similar to fmt and fold except that it automatically handles prefixes. Vim/Neovim gq can do this out of the box but fails (for me at least) when multiple prefixes are present, such as a Markdown block-quote inside Rust comments. E.g.

// > Some quoted text  
// > to reflow.  

refold handles this.

Docling bundles PDF document conversion to JSON and Markdown in an easy, self-contained package.

An AI thing I'm watching play out at another org:

1: Expert A, with a deep understanding of a nuanced and difficult problem answers a question they've been given, offering several options.

2: Director B, recipient, uses an AI to summarize it and then runs it up to leadership saying, "A says this." That generated summary is subtly and very wrong.

3: A is now being held responsible for plans made based on B's AI-generated and very wrong rewriting of his recommendations.

Fun times.

Hey fyi

You can go to radiooooo.com (that's 5 o's), look at the world map, select a country, select a decade, and then listen to music from that time and place. For free. No ads. No idea how or why but it exists. Check it out!

Edit: you should also know that radio.garden does the same thing. I am not familiar, but several people have endorsed it. Nice to have options!

Maccy is a lightweight clipboard manager for macOS. It keeps the history of what you copy and lets you quickly navigate, search, and use previous clipboard contents.

[@phire](https://phire.place/@phire) [@mhoye](https://mastodon.social/@mhoye) a friend said once that enterprise architects exist so programmers don't have to talk to business analysts, and BAs exist so that EAs don't have to talk to customers/users

It has forever changed my perception of the development process
