Hi from the other thread :P

If you'll forgive me putting my debugging hat on for a bit, because solving problems is what most if us do here, I wonder if it's not actually reading the URL, and maybe that's the source of the problem, bc I've had a lot of success feeding manuals and such to AIs and then asking it to synthesize commands or asking it questions about them. Also, I just tried asking Gemini 2.5 Flash this and it did a web search, found a source, answered my question correctly (ls -a, or -la for more detail), and linked me to the precise part of its source it referenced: https://kinsta.com/blog/show-hidden-files/#:~:text=If%20you'... (this is the precise link it gave me).

Well, in one case (it was borg or restic doc) I noticed it actually picked something correctly from the URL/page and then still messed up in the answer.

What my guess is - maybe it read the URL and mentioned a few things as one part of its "that" answer/output but for the other part it relied it on the learning it already had. Maybe it doesn't learn "on the go". I don't know, could be a safeguard against misinformation or spamming the model or so.

As I said in my comment, I hadn't asked it "ls -a" question but rather something else - different commands on different times which I don't recall now except borg and restic ones which I did recently. "ls -a" is the example I picked to show one of the things I was"cribbing" about.
