Is it known why this is happening?

PHP already has explode function.

I can definitely see myself in there. I am mostly problem solver but each problem it's also place for explorign new ideas and/or developing some in-house library which gets reused over and over. Also I get easily distracted and thrown into some ADHD sidequest and end up with font tool which can also render maps.

> The PianoDisc versions are mp3s encoded with the right channel carrying MIDI to be played on the piano, and the left channel containing any accompanying music to be played through attached speakers (who doesn't want the harmonica on Piano Man?)
What a cursed format!
I don't understand what the designers were thinking of... 2000 Hz square wave on right channel? Seriously? Nobody would hear something suspicious and nobody would literally see it on spectrum analyzer. Maybe it's holdover from analog days and it was on casette tape before.
Also somebody reverse engineered it before - https://www.kinura.net/mid2pianocd/
So Fable probably just igested it from documentation of this software or some very obscure forum thread somewhere.

Except that Klaus Mueller is definitely not unique name. Human names are not that unique.

Delphi (or Free Pascal+Lazarus) and Visual Basic had this capability (to easily spin up GUI). It was called RAD.

My guess - these are not not on PyPI because of libraries. AI generating is good when you don't care about how your app works, when implementation details does not matter.
When you are developing library it's exact opposite - you really care about how it works and which interface it provides so you end up writing it mostly by hand.

Infecting with React can be easily explained by pathetic state of desktop application development environment.

Well turtle graphics is not implemented in drawvg. But it should be easy to implement it.

The old world is sunsetting, and the new paradigm is still in the incubation phase. We’re currently navigating a period of massive disruption—it’s officially the era of the monsters. Time to lean in, pivot, and embrace the chaos.

Forget oil rig units. Clothes sizing is the true cursed unit system.

It's probably already done but in some third world country and hidden behind NDAs.

> There’s an old electronics joke that if you want to build an oscillator, you should try building an amplifier
This can be easily demonstrated using so called no-input technique[0] which basically means that you patch audio mixer output to it's input and it starts feedbacking and you can create some tones from this. Note that this needs to be done carefully.

Which AI did you used? It seems it's quite happy with inventing non-existing things [0] or adding nonsense to real things [1]. I like it for that - it's nice artistic demonstration about pitfalls of AI. Tlön, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius [3] in real life.

This was the case when there was only MME. With something like a Voicemeter and Audacity you can have similar setup. I was able to have voice call on Messenger and simultanously stream it to the Facebook using OBS.
But it's very clunky, that's true.
