- ondra 8mo agoThis might be the reason for Markdown support, LLMs love it.
- benbristow 8mo agoWell they're text generation engines, of course they do, it's all just text.
- UqWBcuFx6NV4r 8mo agoWhat’s the point of your comment? We know that markdown is text, we understand that text is text. LLMs have very obviously been intentionally trained to work with markdown, specifically. Its prominence in LLM output far outweighs the real-world existence of raw Markdown online. That’s the point that was being made. What’s next. Are you going to say stochastic parrot?

- moonshinefe 8mo agoAgreed. Notepad's got Markdown, it's what LLMs crave.
- fortyseven 8mo agoMe, too. Oh my god, I might be an LLM.
- XCSme 8mo agoI love it too, because it's easy to write and copy, compared to formatted text
- alansaber 8mo agoThank god notepad is finally useable now
- nichos 8mo agoStill no line numbers....
- sbinnee 8mo agoGood that they have realized the power of raw texts thanks to LLMs.
- hliyan 8mo agoI recently thought my keyboard was faulty. I take my notes on notepad, and after a recent update, sensed that keystrokes occasionally get missed or delayed. After a few days, I noticed it was not happening on Google Docs. On a whim I checked Notepad settings and found a new setting, enabled by default: "AI features > Copilot". I disabled it, along with "Autocorrect", and haven't had the problem since. Notepad is supposed to be a bare bones editor -- where you go when everything else fails. The VI of Windows. If they want a rich editor, they should bring back WordPad.
- dominicrose 8mo agoIf you want to make a joke, you can suggest it as a new feature from the parameters of Microsoft To Do. Seems like the only Microsoft app that doesn't yet have it... BTW it can be disabled in Notepad settings.
