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)...


I personally don't know many executive's names outside of the CEO -- including at FAANG. So in your example, I wouldn't know who is being interviewed until I read the subheading.

It's a fuzzy science based on the author's estimation of how known a name is within their intended readership.


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.


A google search shows that it depends on the outlet doing the interview: https://www.google.com/search?q=Craig%20Federighi%20intervie... Mac centric sites just do "An interview with Craig Federighi" or something like that but Wall Street Journal did "Apple's Software Chief Craig Federighi on Apple Intelligence"


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...)


I've never heard of Craig Federighi.

I don't work anywhere near Apple-related coding though, so that's hardly surprising.


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.


The link originally pointed to the GitHub repository, but I've made it private for obvious reasons.

The purpose of this file is to help AI scrapers index your website more effectively. OpenAI and other platforms are planning to prioritize these files, which can reduce scraping costs and improve the quality of indexed content.

This also gives your site an advantage in AI-powered search engines like Perplexity and ChatGPT Search.

For anyone in the emerging tech space, adding this file is a no-brainer — it can significantly improve your site's visibility compared to others.


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


According to jzelinskie, yes: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44229248


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:

What if We Replace Guns and Bullets with Bows and Arrows? https://solar.lowtechmagazine.com/2022/11/what-if-we-replace...


>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 :)


$18m is just under $0.01 on the dollar, which sounds very good value, but apparently debt collectors pay as little as $0.04 to $0.14 on the dollar anyway due to the low chance of getting paid:

I prefer this. I'm actually building it into one of my web sites. The only issue is that the thing was a bit of a stunt, and as part of that they centered it on Switzerland, which is GMT+1, instead of aligning it with UTC.
