I don’t know about useless. I think there is some real magic waiting to be discovered in mapping language language to some specific and enlightening visualization. I think it involves something like this. Using high statistics and simple, s

Similarly, words like “I” and “am” appear in a slightly different dense section of the map by default.

If I gave you a live GPU shader that let you arbitrarily position any of say a few million words with simple Cartesian coordinates, what would you do with it? Whole words expressed as Individual letters - not symbols, representations, or ab

Edit: I think this is fascinating. If you use words, like dog, electric, life, and human, all of them appear in one mass however, the words like greet, chicken, and “a“ appear in a different mass density section. I think it’s interesting th

What you’re missing that is “red is an apple” is also possibly saying in a metaphorical sense that red is like an apple to someone - delicious, a treat, perhaps otherwise representative. In that way, the encoding of “is”’ is exactly correct

I always thought it was funny how similar the languages are. Not surprised in the least to finally see this, and I’m hopeful this is a harbinger of future transpiling efforts to bridge platforms. I see it as one of the only viable ways to e

Love the idea! I really love input like this because it refines and validates what to work on. For example, I really wanted to stick in some kind of scripting console to manage controls, like a more flexible or programmatic way of touching

Article says: “Since then, MOXIE has generated 122 grams of oxygen, equal to what a small dog breathes in 10 hours, according to NASA.” I guess the exercise is left to the reader for the small dog:human ratio.

I’m with you 100% here. I don’t have support for syntax yet, and I’m going to see what I can do about that soon. The rendering support is all there, at least, and I need to make sure I call that out too. Thank you for the ping! Please feel

Thank you very much, and absolutely! My hope is to convert to a treesitter implementation instead of the SwiftSyntax direct parser. There’s a file filter in there that can be turned off to load any particular file up for viewing, but the an
