An interesting paper on embeddings; relatively accessible to a lay audience, but lengthy.

i’ve been playing with embeddings a bit and they’re neat. Lots of interesting use cases

I love the intro. Will get the PDF shortly. Thanks!

explainshell.com and showthedocs.com are a thing of beauty. Why don't we have something like that integrated in our IDEs/REPLs/terminal?

Both are interactive — go on, take a non-trivial shell / SQL command from your history and plug it there.

I'm not sure I've seen that level of doc integration in any language env, yet an interpreter/compiler doing the actual parsing and name resolution should be well positioned to offer it, no?

showthedocs won't come up for me, but I hadn't seen explainshell. Very nice. I'm making note of them and may tinker a bit.
