Thank you for your answer. I have a similar question as OP, but in regards of the GPT models in MS copilot. My experience is that the response quality is much better when calling the API directly or through the webUI.

I know this might be a question that's impossible for you to answer, but if you can shed any light to this matter, I'd be grateful as I am doing an analysis over what AI solutions that can be suitable for my organisation.

As phrased the only answer is the question; "as opposed to what?"

webUIs have giant system prompts built in

APIs have much smaller ones

Doesn't fstore have a filter for that?

Marp is pretty neat for markdown presentations, not too complicated and has useful (and pretty!) output.

Another annoyance is how the sync between the editor and preview pane "jumps" uncontrollably when using mermaid. I do however love it too and comitted to use it over other note-taking software.

This is a known issue which hopefully should be fixed soon: https://github.com/laurent22/joplin/issues/6074

On: Include diagrams in your Markdown files with Mermaid

I love mermaid, but I'm also very annoyed by the variety of how its implemented in different markdown editors. One thing that I find quite annoying is the lack of fontawesome support - afaik only the live mermaid editor and hack.md supports it out of the box. Other editors require a lot of .conf file editing.

Thanks for the tip of nomnoml, didn't know about it.

They are quite similar, PlantUML has support for more types of diagrams than mermaid (such as network diagram), but IMO PlantUML is "messier" to write, I find Mermaid more elegant in writing diagrams.

Doesn't matter if you use BeOS or roll your own Linux distro - the hardware isn't mature enough for distributions that supports sleep states.

Good news is, you might be lucky and get decent hardware setup with a functional sleep-module from start. If it does not, get a comfortable couch.

(And congrats to the addition! Best of luck and PM me if you need someone to listen to your parental suffering or joys).

I used to be a cat-like dual wielding rapier knight with totem-skills, had a lot of fun with my old guild until the RP requirements were dropped. Still z thank you and the rest of the gang fort giving me so much fun and be able to meet so many nice people. I'm sure my character (Shearr) is still gathering dust somewhere :-)
