Loved ground effect since I first saw it on (iirc) beyond 2000 television program. I haven't been able to find any reference to that episode...

I know you were focusing on backwards compatibility, but given your understanding of terminals and scrollback, I'm curious how far vibe coding could push to retain and persist state to keep that state through restarts or reboots. Such a pain to get back to before a reboot or after accidental closing. Having effectively"undo close tab" and better persistent resume would be interesting.

Turning your brain off is usually a defense mechanism to protect yourself against something bad. dissociate during trauma etc. lighter dissociation points to the interaction trending toward badness, not goodness. Seems like the mind and body is telling us something that we shouldn't ignore

+1 to using MUD as a learning tool. Learn about agent loops, prompting iteration, etc.

I vibe coded a few room proof of concept MUD. I added a tools called `oracle` (aka me) that it could ask me questions to help along its way; and the ability to interject in the loop with a hint. Just as I might want an llm to stop to ask me for help instead of plodding along...

Interesting to limit the number of turns and see where it gets stuck or how quickly it can finish.

I refuse to believe this is the only way to make it cheaper. Standardization and modular components could help. Might not be cheap enough. But surely we can be more imaginative!

My intuition is that a small radio from the 80s is sufficient. Has relatively small size and passive speaker. Small passive speaker and small enclosure are cheap aka not 100+ USD. A tonie box sounds fine. Can I diy reproduce one similar at low cost (less than buying 50 USD)?

I've spent countless hours searching for a small, good quality passive speaker. In a roughly 4 inch cube size. That comes with an good (acoustically) box/enclosure. Plenty exist in various forms (kits) but I never know if they sound as good as even laptop or phone speakers. Which is a low bar, but still can't find good reviews.

I wonder where the water is coming from for these sites

Did they publish that fact anywhere?

Is anyone using this on Android?

Perhaps? I remember the article arguing more comprehensively why a different order would be beneficial, but maybe I am just misremembering

I once read an article about SQL and how reordering the sections of a query would make it more ergonomic for users (iirc things like specifying what you want first and then how to present it last, more like a pipeline). I searched many times over the years but have not been able to find it again.
