I am arguing this point, because it’s a huge flaw in the premise of the tool in question.

Yes, but it raises the question of what exactly the "character" count is supposed to mean. Does anyone need a "UTF-16 code unit count"? Somehow I don't think so. So it should really be counting graphemes, in my opin

> Some emojis require two UTF-16 code units so yep, standard But not acceptable in a "character counter", in my opinion. What exactly is the use case for this counter, since it won't align with anyone's real-world int

Perhaps you are not a translator. Translating is a skill that is more than simply being bilingual.

It was the killer app that got me hooked on Emacs (which I now use as my IDE and daily driver for almost everything except web browsing). Every time I see tools like this I think "ah, the normies are reimplementing Magit".

"Unicode" seems to have (colloquially) taken on the meaning of "complete or extensive language support".

We specify an output schema (TypeScript syntax) in our system prompt, and OpenAI gets it right most of the time. With some regularity it will give invalid (per the schema) output like - Return a single object instead of an array of object

This is trivially prevented by wrapping the body in a function that is executed only on the last line of the script. I don't think I've seen a "curl | sh" script in the wild that wasn't written that way.

"TUI" is "text(ual) user interface", not "terminal user interface". If the UI is (primarily?) made of text (which it is in Emacs' GUI mode) then it doesn't need to be in the terminal.
