PatchGuard would like to have a word with you.

Ironic, since Unix is itself an embodiment of "worse is better."

I used floating timestamps as some kind of an identity. If there is ever a conflict, I just increase it by 1 ulp until it doesn't collide with anything. Sorry.

In Python, `shlex` has utilities for quoting and tokenizing strings for POSIX shells.

(Windows users: CMD is hopeless. Sorry. Try powershell.)


Finally, a DOOM download that bypasses captive portals

There always are. You need to think about what those would be, though. Autoresearch outsources the thinking to LLMs.


This is exactly what subinterpreters are for! Basically isolated copies of Python in the same process.

If you want a higher-level interface, there is InterpreterPoolExecutor:

They bought the trust.


Does appending "/genq" work?

Or use the /btw command to ask only questions


I guess appending the actual correct handwritten brainthought code is the solution here.


Well, tell that to OP, not me.


It was kind of an experiment from start. Some ideas turned out to be good, so we keep them. Some ideas turned out not to be good, so we fix them with extensions.


The problem with hardware expirements is that people owning the hardware are stuck with experiments.


Sure, but if you bought a dev board with an experimental ISA I think you knew what you were getting in to.


If your hardware is new, you get the nicest extensions though. You just don’t use the bad parts in your code.


Sure, if you are developing software for the computer you own, instead of supporting everyone.


Re-compile?


I mean, that is often what you do in embedded computing: you (re)sell hardware with one particular application.
