I want to love Excalidraw but it can be really frustratingly mediocre a lot of the time. For example, I'm constantly retrying to rescale something and then an arrow repositions or resizes itself, which reveals some kind of mistake in the underlying data model. Or undo/redo just doesn't work correctly. Or you're draw an arrow and try as you might it refuses to not attach itself to some other element. And all sorts of things that should be customizable are not (like defaulting to the non-rough style, or resizing arrows separately from line thicknesses). And there is a basically-complete pull request for a math mode (https://github.com/excalidraw/excalidraw/pull/6037) which has been in limbo for years. Probably there are other things I'm forgetting.

Anyway, it's kind of annoying to use for reasons like these. Just thought I would mention it since all the comments here seem positive.

This only gets better when there's a financial penalty for doing it. Ads do almost nothing but it costs them even less.

well it's a good solution in the sense that it would solve the problem and it would be great for all of us.

'admit' isn't really the right word for that... the fact that it was placating you wasn't true until you prompted it to say so. Unlike a person who has an 'internal emotional state' independent of what they say that you can probe by asking questions.

'admit' is anthropomorphizing the behavior, sure. The point is that sometimes the model's response will tighten, flag things that were overly supportive or what not. Sometimes it wont, it'll state that previous positions are still supported and continue to press it. Its not like either response is 'correct' but it can alter the rest of the responses in ways that are useful.

You can be for or against anything. This is a lot like having an opinion about, say, Oxford commas in a style guide, or the format of a tax form. Which is to say: not likely to do anything in the short term, until the day that someone is designing a new language / set of forms, in which case promoting the stance ahead of time might affect their decision-making.

It's nice to see someone put this all into words. I've felt the same thing for years but never quite figured out how to articulate it.

of course they were

Hey, tone doesn't translate well over text, they did not use anu tone tags, and I'm already terrible at reading tone in the best of times. Lol, can you really blame me for at least asking? Haha.

I dunno, it is the most obvious nazi reference I've ever seen. Personally I feel like tone does translate well over text, although it's proportional to the speakers' familiarity in how to do it whereas for verbal communication it comes through without effort.

Nothing wrong with asking of course. But maybe it's useful data that it was, in fact, obvious.

Not when you're autistic (which I am). ;D

at a practical level that word hasn't meant "one in ten" for like, decades. probably just need to get used to it.

not really "just as" at all if you think about it, though.

what a shame
