are there any models that encourage hallucinations? i.e. non-existent but plausible ideas nearby in idea space?

the alternative is HTML or plaintext, no need to invent

is markdown a good idea? not convinced

my defense against AI attacks on my open source software is to simply not work on my open source software

i don't mean Web features either (i.e. additions to HTML/CSS/JS) but capability related to webpages – archiving, extracting assets, modifying and creating, etc

arguably adding more Web features is "bad" because it continues to herd users into the same few browsers that support the huge complexity

the problem is they stopped innovating on features for the Web. so there's room for improved interfaces on browser (User-Agent) capabilities across the internet. gotta build a browser

that's like runtime config. where and in what environment the program runs affects its behavior

time and randomness created everything we know

the human genome is a 3.2 billion line assembly file

half of it is deprecated methods
a third is malicious Russian code

and it’s the most efficient program of all time

yes, the "non-coding" parts (the "junk" 98%) which actually is probably doing stuff we just don't understand yet

focusing on this visual "shape of text" also removes /some/ dependency on actual written language and its length, so you design more generically with semantic hierarchy (how big are things compared to other things) and can internationalize more easily

good typographers use additional tools like line length, hyphenation, and custom line break opportunities to fine tune and enhance the "shape of text"

a lot of design is typography. without even considering the content, pay attention to the visual space that type occupies and how it relates to elements around it
