Yeah, files as a database is fun, but I find you ultimately reinvent the wheel when sqlite is pretty battle tested, free and easier to get right or scale up.

It can be very device specific unfortunately. Thinkpad tend to work quote well. I had a Framework that my wife took from me and it's truly fantastic, works out of the box.
I don't remember Vim's Markdown support to be anything special, either; I do a lot of Markdown work, and tended to use Markdown-specific editors on the Mac like Ulysses and iA Writer, while doing my technical writing in BBEdit. (I never found Vim to fit me particularly well for prose of any kind, even though I was pretty experienced with it. Apparently my writing brain is not modal.)
Semi-ironically given the Org mode discussion, the markdown-mode package for Emacs makes it one of the best Markdown editors I've used!
I too have found this. However, I absolutely love being able to mock up a larger idea in 30 minutes to assess feasibility as a proof of concept before I sink a few hours into it.
They both fit Gaussians, just different ones! OLS fits a 1D Gaussian to the set of errors in the y coordinates only, whereas TLS (PCA) fits a 2D Gaussian to the set of all (x,y) pairs.
Yes, and if I remember correctly, you get the Gaussian because it's the minimum entropy (least additional assumptions about the shape) continuous distribution given a certain variance.
Both of these do, in a way. They just differ in which gaussian distribution they're fitting to.
And how I suppose. PCA is effectively moment matching, least squares is max likelihood. These correspond to the two ways of minimizing the Kullback Leibler divergence to or from a gaussian distribution.
Even documented libraries can be a struggle, especially if they are not particularly popular. I'm doing a project with WiFi/LoRa/MQTT on an ESP32. The WiFi code was fairly decent, but the MQTT and especially LoRa library code was nearly useless.
Sonnet 3.5 fails to generate basic JetpackCompose libraries properties properly. Maybe if somebody tried really hard to scrape all the documentation and force feed it, then it could work. But i don't if there are examples of this.
Like general LLM, but with complete Android/Kotlin pushed into it to fix the synapses.
Of course, why wouldn't it? It's a generative model, not a lookup table. Show it the library headers, and it'll give you decent results.
Obviously, if the library or code using it weren't part of the training data, and you don't supply either in the context of your request, then it won't generate valid code for it. But that's not LLM's fault.
