I think we all know this is going to happen, though. We have AIs that are capable of self-correcting the code that they write, and people have built automatic interfaces for them to receive errors that they get from compilation. We also hav

What happens when you eventually get read/write brain interfaces? Because I'm pretty sure that's going to happen at some point. It sounds like complete science fiction, but so did where we are with generative AI only a few de

I was looking at this current again just now, and realised it could use a bit of explanation. I typically have lots of tabs open at once. Hundreds, in some cases. A window escaping the bounds of the viewport would imply that it also escapes

One thing I'm wondering about is what text encoding the program should use to output. I tend to write scripts that output exclusively in UTF-8, but I realise this might not be a given. (And, of course, the user's terminal expected
