* Successfully looked up RLHF (reinforcement learning from human feedback) * Failed when looking up NIH (not invented here) Hmm. Would you mind devoting the rest of your life to making this dictionary comprehensive, and keeping it updated? Slightly smaller request: could you make it possible to select and copy the definitions?

I’ll do my best to keep it updated regularly! I’ve added the copy functionality now to each definition entry - no need for that extra step of selecting!

This is great. Thanks for this. The only thing I'm missing is the automatic dark mode (respecting operating system's dark/light theme). If you want I could add that in a pull request.

Thanks! Great suggestion. Feel free to open a pull request and add it.

Well, I didn't want to copy the whole thing, I wanted to select and copy it myself, as is standard and expected. I don't want a handy search button that sends me to google, either, since I don't use google. If you keep on helping me to do things I didn't want to, I'll have a user experience.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Thanks for the feedback, this makes a lot of sense. I modified it accordingly.
