I'm a science teacher and I use this to teach about experimental design and evidence interpretation. I hope to have my students doing all kinds of cool design setups to test this idea out.

I love these two projects for how they are, and continue to be, built. They say something hopeful and deep about humanity.

Before Linux and Wikipedia, we assumed that if you gave everyone a sharpie, that we would graffiti and deface the world.

Instead, we learned that humans will stop and sit and write the most thorough history ever seen for the sake of free knowledge and create the tools for us to do so.

Author here. Fair hits on the writing; I leaned on an LLM too heavily for the prose. The data and method are mine, and they're all in the repo. Happy to answer questions about how the extraction works.

That makes sense, thanks for the input.

I fondly remember getting the DOOM hackers guide from barnes and noble in HS. Those were the days.

Whats the validation strategy that you used for this? I run a similar project and I found that golden repos were needed to prevent drift. Have you stress tested this to find any limits? I compared my go work to ctags and treesitter for proof of functions found and list precision and recall.

I actually worked really hard on this. I'm feeling kinda low about the response. I know your some random person but if you have constructive criticism, i'm all ears.

I appreciate that you liked the premise. The repo has my full methodology and data for scrutiny. I thought the voice was alright, just a straight description of the data.

I've recently gotten an Oracle in my translation system too, I think it's a common need to compare bytes betwitx to different systems. I didn't think it was specific to one company.

Did you create your own hypercard parser? That's dope. I have been making multi language structural parser, I have some hypercard capabilities. I haven't compared my output to anyone. But I have created ci CD pipelines that contain examples of all the things I want evaluated in all formats I could think, perhaps that would be helpful for your project.

What's your plan with the ai maintenance? Do you aim for specific turn around time on issues, etc?
