Use it for viewing csv and json files. Also, converting between formats can be a one liner.

I really enjoyed the writing style in this article.

And the bot progression from "alter user agent" to "change IP addresses" to providers having to ban whole subnets, whole ASNs, and realizing "proxy SDK monetization" is a thing mirrors threat actor progression from the time before LLMs.

I asked Fable to transcribe three short lines of Korean-language text in a small image. It suspected the image might contain song lyrics and refused. Haiku transcribed it with no issue.

There are Python bindings via the stretchable library.

You can read a lot more about it here: https://mojolang.org/docs/vision/

Seriously, wow.

See their in-depth vision doc here:

Check out the last video on the page. It zooms in and you get a sense of just how much resolution there is.

Really, don't use LLM for polish; that's what wrecks it imho. People write idiosyncratically and that's a good thing. That's your voice.

Tells like "load-bearing" and "real", for example.

"the heap's simplicity is load-bearing: once..."

"It's a real thing"

"It's a real trade-off"

"The design buys real things"

"it comes down to a real design choice"

"That's a real critique"

And about Volume 5...

> Syntactic Algorithms, in preparation.

9. Lexical scanning (includes also string search and data compression)

10. Parsing techniques

From Future Plans...

> And after Volumes 1--5 are done, God willing, I plan to publish Volume 6 (the theory of context-free languages) and Volume 7 (Compiler techniques), but only if the things I want to say about those topics are still relevant and still haven't been said. Volumes 1--5 represent the central core of computer programming for sequential machines; the subjects of Volumes 6 and 7 are important but more specialized.

"Ü programming language" brings up the Github docs with Google, as does "U programming language", although this HN post comes up second.

On a Mac "Ü" is typed "option-u shift-u".

Some more resources from that post:

> See examples (https://github.com/Panzerschrek/U-00DC-Sprache/tree/master/s...) to get a general idea what Ü is and how it looks like and feels. Read the documentation (https://panzerschrek.github.io/U-00DC-Sprache-site/docs/en/c...) for more details. If you have some questions about the specific mechanism providing safety, read the corresponding chapter (https://panzerschrek.github.io/U-00DC-Sprache-site/docs/en/r...). If some topic isn't clear for you after reading the documentation, contact me and I can answer your questions.

There was a "Show HN: Ü Programming Language" from the author last October.

That "Another angle" truly is spectacular.

Just fyi, the author is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glyph_Lefkowitz, creator of Twisted.

The parent reads more like "it works in practice but does it work in theory?" The innovations that have come out of the DuckDB team seem to always focus on "in practice" instead of focusing on how things are supposed to (or are expected to) be done.

Looking more carefully at the original image (http://www.thehistoryblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Emp...) I can see the mapping of letterforms you made. Thanks for that!

Not understanding Greek, I ran that through Google Translate (Greek -> English) just to see what it might say.

> AND THIS … THE MAJOR … BUT THE BOTH … ARE MEANING … PEUSIS PAN GAR SEEMS.. OBVIOUS.. SPECTRA … OF SONGS SO … MAJOR … AND THEREFORE … NOT EVEN EARS .. NO LANGUAGE

What form of Greek would that be? (I don't know much more than "ancient Greek" vs "modern Greek".)

Finally, a bracket I can enjoy (that doesn't involve basketball).

> I think Claude Shannon’s spirit is probably proud to know that his name is now being associated with such advances. Hats off to Claude!

I didn't realize Claude was named after Claude Shannon!

I had not heard of Glyphs, the tool the author used. I used to use Fontographer long ago.

It's a great article!
