Btw, this is an interesting article to me. What was the motivation for posting on HN ... in 2026? Is there some background/ backstory to it?

I understand your curiosity but am glad that this was posted. A Markov chain equipped with a stack is a simple yet powerful combination for text generation. I think we need reminders that simple models can often be adequate and easy to debug and maintain, especially if you have a small team. Bleeds less cash too.

Oh absolutely. I'm just curious because we never see articles like that on HN, so I wondered if something happened that made it newsworthy.

Yeah that's what I thought.
