  • Why so few colors? Even with palette characters you can have 240 or so options, and with truecolor you can just have anything. Also, you can double your vertical resolution by using half block characters, setting the foreground color as the top half, and setting the background color as the bottom half. Something like this: `\x1b[38;2;{r};{g};{b};48;2;{r};{g};{b}m{half block character}`.

  • I can't see my cursor if it is placed on top of a cell that has already been colored.

  • Are we coordinating factions here, like the original r/place? The social aspect was such a big part of the original. I'll start:

    # PURPLE FRAME #

    Our mission is to draw a purple frame around the canvas. 2 rows of blank space between the frame and the top/bottom of the canvas. 4 cols of blank space between the frame and the left/right of the canvas.

  • If you have a slight interest in originality of presentation, whatever website copy first comes out of Claude is not there yet. Its preoccupation with "no x, no y" and annoying runs of sentence fragments might have been a punchy rhetoric for a short while before it became a tired cliché, but by now it stylistically makes it look more like you're bragging on LinkedIn than presenting something fun and creative.

    I mention it because it's immediately off-putting even though the project itself sounds fun enough. It tarnishes it with the impression that maybe you just don't care, but maybe you just aren't attuned to the style and its strong slop connotations.

    I'm genuinely fascinated by the problem and I've wondered what in the training process causes the model to develop this peculiar style of writing. Is it because it's trained on old Medium slop? Someone else replied with a link to their SSH-based VPS, where the copy is absolutely saturated with the same annoying style.

  • Why is there no orange? The entire colour palette is a bit depressing.

    Also my terminal (Ubuntu in WSL2) had an ugly colour palette defined by default with several identical colours. I'm glad I found out!

    Use this to check yours:

        for i in {0..15}; do
     printf "\e[48;5;%dm  %2d  \e[0m " "$i" "$i";     (( (i + 1) % 8 == 0 )) && echo;
    done
    and then press ctrl + , to change it.

  • Hey, is it not just a simple honeypot reverse hack ssh server?

    People understand that reverse hacking can happen when connecting to random ssh server, right?
