<p>In another threads, someone suggested to use the AI but retype the suggestions of the AI instead of using cut&paste or letting the AI edit the source code.<p>During the class in the university, I liked to take notes. I believe any bullshit  on the blackboard, but if my hand has to write it in paper I have to pay attention and learn more.<p>My notes were horrible, so I usually discard them at the end of the semester and photocopy from someone that writes correctly. The end objective were not the notes, but my hand learning math.</p>

<p>The dash is very confusing. Try a version that shows nothing instead of the dash (it's useful to drag few friends to test small variations).</p>

<p>After looking at it again...<p>I expect:<p><pre><code>  Letter 1
  Letter 2
  Is letter 1 equal to letter 2?
  Letter 3
  Letter 4
  Is letter 3 equal to letter 4?
  Letter 5
  Letter 6
  Is letter 5 equal to letter 6?
  Letter 7
  Letter 8
  Is letter 7 equal to letter 8?
</code></pre>
But the test is actually something like<p><pre><code>  Letter 1
  Is letter 1 equal to [I'm very confused]?
  Letter 2
  Is letter 1 equal to letter 2?
  Letter 3
  Is letter 2 equal to letter 3?
  Letter 4
  Is letter 3 equal to letter 4?
</code></pre>
Is this correct? What should I compare in the first question?</p>

<p>I really like GEB.<p>Most proof of the Gödel theorem use the primes encoding that is makes all the operations very unintuitive. But GEB uses just ascii and a lot of the side task get obvious. (It uses base 20 instead of 256, but it's the same idea.)<p>> <i>is¨notoriously digressive and quirky</i><p>It is super mega ultra notoriously digressive and quirky.</p>

<p>> <i>What is cyclospora, anyway? It is not a bacterium or thing that I am familiar with. It is parasitic; it is a eukaryote; beyond those two definitions, it might as well be an alien from Venus because I'm not familiar.</i><p>Eukariotes include animals, plants, fungus, and the protists. As a sibling comment say, protists is a catch all bag for all the other eukaryotes, that include most algae, amebas and a looooooooooooooooooot of different unicelular organism.<p>In  particular the closest relative of cyclospora that <allcaps>I</allcaps> can recognize is the one that causes toxoplasmosis, and more far away the one that cause malaria. But it's a very big and diverse bag, so I'd not extract too many conclusion from that. It also includes a lot of nice behaved things, not everyone is a nasty parasite there, just some of the most famous.<p>> <i>Sanitizing water won't kill it? Not chlorination?</i><p>I guess the chlorine in tap water is not enough, but pure concentrated bleach would kill it. But I'm not sure and it also ruin your salad. Also, I guess enough heat would kill it too, and it also ruin your salad. <a href="https://xkcd.com/1217/" rel="nofollow">https://xkcd.com/1217/</a></p>

<p>Cost?<p>Water from air is superexpensive, because you must extract the evaporation heat from the vapor to transform it into water, and to do that, you need a refrigeration-like device that is also not very efficient. You are fighting against the first and second law of thermodynamics, and the only way to win is to pay for a lot of electricity.</p>

A few minutes later add a comment in HN explaining you are the author and will answer questions, and also a link to the pdf and your question about other similar projects that target filtergraph.</p>
