To give a concrete example: on macOS `open` opens Finder in the current folder and it ships by default. On standard Linux you have to install xdg-open and alias it to open.
More egregious is `rm`, which instantly deletes files! We should ship `trash` command, allowing double-checking and put-back.

Another issue is that it feels like the Terminal UX has barely moved forward since the 1970s, and it has largely failed to integrate at all with the rest of the Desktop experience. I think there's a ton of room for truly spectacular terminal / console interfaces that integrate with the computer

This presentation has resonated deeply with my soul. I've been so frustrated that desktop UX has felt stagnant for so long. Something I would love to see more of is tighter integration with scripting / programming capabilities for programs and utilities.

Oh my god, you're the one that invented ellipsis in the middle of truncated file names in Finder? That was one of the those small features that filled me with delight when I first discovered them in macOS's UI. I actually copied that functionality a number of times for web apps thanks to you!

That's miles above what most other libraries and tools provide, seems great to me.

This is the clean grid. Maybe an additional test worth trying is to have Nano Banana Pro try to search and highlight just one specific word at a time, both without the solution in the prompt and with the solution in the prompt.

Image 1: directly asking NBP to find each word in the grid.
Image 2: asking NPB to highlight each word in the grid, with the position of every word included in the prompt.
Image 3: asking Gemini 3 to iterate on Image 2 and the prompt to see if it would make a difference.

I think the next step-up in capabilities will be when image models are also able to one-shot problems. Your post made me curious if giving Nano Banana Pro the answer in the prompt would help, so I had Gemini 3 perform the word search and prepare a prompt I could pass to NBP.

Lots of problems have moved really quickly from "able to be solved with some nudging / prompting" to "can be one-shot without special prompting". I had a simple word search problem that this year went from complete failure, to possible with nudging, to one-shot.

This is the bright red line. If any president tries to run for a third term without a constitutional amendment, their removal through the use of force is justified.
