alt Hacker NewsHere's one rewrite that would have helped:
To be fair, as you can see in the clip, the two models handled the prompt slightly differently. The pxpipe variant gave the right count initially but needed a quick follow-up to output the ledger balance in a single line. The standard model, on the other hand, nailed the formatting on its first try. We've completely solved readability here on Fable; our only real hurdle left is getting the models to follow formatting constraints perfectly on the very first reply.
Of course, this was just rewritten by another LLM.

Reads a little bit better, but still reads like a writer getting paid by the word, which I guess is fitting.

Yeah, but as you say, this is another LLM rewriting it. The amount of noncontextual information is nauseating and destroys the point of a README (in my humble opinion).
A human might have written a disclaimer like this:
> When not using Fable, pxpipe may require additional follow-ups to precisely follow your formatting instructions.
This kind of garbled information dump is very inconsiderate of the reader, and all good writing is considerate of the audience consuming it.
