This is horrible. The upper case is almost pixel-identical to the built in font on the Interact Home Computer - the one I learned on in 1980. This font adds lower-case which is impressive but still sucks. I know from years of using a 5x5 fo

Can any of the AI systems read binary yet? Perhaps generate source code from object file? Is so, that would make access to source redundant for that type of analysis.

I never understood why browsers ever allowed this in the first place. It's obviously bad. Yeah, yeah there are "reasons" but it's still obviously a bad solution to whatever "problem" they were trying to solve.

Switzerland is 1/6 the size of Michigan and has 90 percent as many people as Michigan (9M vs 10M). With a higher population density I'd expect better rollout of things like internet service. And that's just ONE average size U

After looking at some videos of what this even is, I'd say it can do it but will likely fail on the boolean operation where the two spirals intersect. It might work fine but it's an operation likely to trigger a bug, and it would
