Ive used Anki to learn musical intervals
Nicely put.

From a brief look (https://www.techradar.com/uk/search?searchTerm=Craig+Federig...), it looks like Tech Radar expects more of their readers to know who Craig is - going from "Apple exec Craig Federighi" to just "Craig Federighi".

I couldn't find another article with Sameer Samat.

I wonder if a media outlets' intended or real audience could be inferred from indicators like this.

This is a good observation, thanks for sharing. Interestingly, The Verge uses the title "Here’s Joanna Stern’s full interview with Craig and Joz." for a video WSJ called "Apple Execs on What Went Wrong with Siri, iOS 26 and More" (https://www.theverge.com/news/686948/heres-joanna-sterns-ful...)
slightly off topic: I wonder if in an equivalent interview, Craig Federighi would need the same hint in the title "Interview with Apple's OS Leader Craig Federighi ", or whether his name is considered well known enough: "Interview with Craig Federighi". I wonder when its considered "safe" for a personality to stop being referred to as their job title (Founder of FaceBook, CEO of Microsoft, CEO of Spotify, CEO of ___?), and instead using their name (Zuckerberg, Nadella, ___?, Karp)...
The link https://github.com/mandarwagh9/llmstxt is broken, and gives 404.

I assume this is to help tool-enabled agents navigate websites? I'm curious how this balances against the otherwise anti-LLM position a lot of website owners / artists are taking.

OP may have used their own method, but I believe you could use a provider like SerpAPI.

Looks cool - is this "backwards compatible" with Markdown? As in, could a Quarkdown file be legible from a regular Markdown renderer?

Looks like you can compile files as shown here: https://github.com/typst/typst?tab=readme-ov-file#usage

This reminds me of this low tech magazine article:

Re:NYC plans to wipe out $2B in medical debt for 500k residents on Thursday January 25, 2024 @02:10AM (#39127034)
>The city is working with RIP Medical Debt, a nonprofit that buys medical debt in bulk from hospitals and debt collectors for pennies on the dollar.

I read it as $18m invested = $2b of debt for 500k people, as they seem to get a discount for buying the debt in bulk. Could always be more though :)
