Heyy thank you very much for sharing your thoughts and knowledge with us !!!
Very interesting and the write up is easy to follow up ! That's the kind of cool blogpost we will be missing when the internet will be dead brained and flooded with AI shit....
Will you integrate an RSS feed to your blogposts? So I could get your feeds directly into my RSS feeder? 😁

There's modern terminals?

I think we call them thin clients now.

Yeah, they're mostly bits of hardware that turn ttl/serial into a USB device. Then you can use minicom or dterm to connect to the host. Mostly used for embedded development, but also useful for debugging servers that are not connecting to the network without having to lug a keyboard and screen.
After they're connected, if they speak vt110, your terminal emulator can display everything properly

Very nice blogpost, thank you!
But this one part really grinds my gears:
Is that not the definition of learning? It sounds weird to me to explain it redundantly like this, akin to: "I've walked 10 steps forward through a process of my neurons firing signals which cause contractions in the muscles of my body in a particular rhythmic way"
Or am I misunderstanding something?
Cheers
XKCD. Ten Thousand.
Do some people need to read a definition of learning to learn how learning works?
I thought the process is intuitively understood by everybody who has ever learned anything.
