    Pfft. Try typing in four pages of code out of Byte magazine just to have your mom cruise over with the vacuum cleaner and make it all dissappear

      Bah core memory unlocked. Going through code published in books i got from the library, line by line, trying to figure out if I fucked it up or if the book had an error.

        Did you try TRON? I wonder how many youngsters know the origin of the movie title

          Although coincidental and neat, Steven Lisberger based the name on electronic and only learned about the TRaceON command in BASIC later

      The first code I laboriously copied from a book was a program called Eliza. It was hilarious. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/ELIZA

      It’s evolved, it seems…

        That’s wild. I wonder if it’s true the claim that ELIZA performed better on a turning test than GPT 3.5?

      I recall doing this with lines of 16 byte hex numbers trying to be so careful to not miss any lines or get them in the wrong order.

      Sometimes it would work great, but mainly not.
