I'm confused; that's exactly what this change does. The previous home page was like a social media feed, the new one shows your work.

I know it's frowned upon to ask this here, but: did you read the article (or open GitHub) before posting this comment?

LLMs see tokens, not words spelled out with letters.

Imagine verbally asking someone who has never seen written text the same question: unless they memorized the answer for the specific word you're asking about, they'd have to guess.

What's your definition of "text"?

(I define it as "written words in a human-readable language". You must have something else in mind, because neither ASCII art nor control codes fit my definition.)

People have been drawing ASCII art since ASCII was invented, and control codes like the bell "character" existed even before computers did.

The science is the source linked in the second paragraph.

I don't see why the author of the 300-word prompt couldn't claim copyright of it.

From my layperson perspective that sounds relatively easy to address. For example they could require some minimum distance of continuous bike lanes to get approved for funding.

Ask it to write a program that outputs SVGs of animals using human modes of transportation, then run the program with "pelican" and "bicycle" as inputs.

If you don't understand the software you're creating (handwritten or not) you are ngmi.

How long has "so far" been?

> No one would have entertained the idea of rewriting a project in Rust before this.

I largely agree with your comment, but is this sentence typo'd or something? "Rewrite it in Rust" happens so often that it's become a meme (and that was so before the rise of agentic coding).

Maybe you meant to say that nobody would have entertained the idea of rewriting this project in Rust?
