great falls (2/5)

other than "get Claude to write a regression test", my attention was on projects other than Atacama yesterday.

today, considering 3 features:

• multi-line quotes ⚙️( which would additionally weigh on the already-overloaded regex-based parser)
• embedded images 💡( which raises the question: where are the images hosted?)
• embedded YouTube videos 💡( probably as a "television" emoji that one clicks on to display the embedded viewer)

things like "SMTP API" simply aren't worth the complexity, much less my time to get the machine to implement it. ⚙️( the compute cost of having the machine implement the SMTP API, presumably, is at most $1-2; it is not a relevant factor.) 💡( the price to me is already included in my monthly subscription. the "cost" is different than the "price")

as far as the "quotes" system: it seems like something to leave alone. either let it rot, or wait for the improvements to become more evident.

as far as the LLM features ... 💬( As one grows older, one sees the impossibility of imposing your will on the chaos with brute force. But, if you’re patient, there may come the moment when, while you are eating an apple, the solution presents itself and says, "Here I am." )
