Ah a fellow Hail Mary fan :)

It's clearly a typo on the year, April 12 was two days ago, a quick check in HuggingFace shows that they were uploaded 5 days ago.

It should have taken you to the mansion. Yes I agree that the game is unnecessarily obtuse, but the vibe-coded interpreter itself is rather buggy too. I've had several crashes, resets, and state corruptions.

Sometimes it's a bit hard to distinguish between a bug and archaic design :)


How was this built? It's gorgeous, I've been wanting to have a cool-retro-term in the browser for a long while.

If this was built bespoke for this game, fair play, but I would love to have this library if it's a library.

EDIT: I found the repo https://github.com/jscalo/haunt

> js/terminal.js implements the I/O layer: a typewriter-speed character queue drained via requestAnimationFrame, an inline editable prompt with command history, and two promise-based input methods (readToken for OPS5 accept, readLine for acceptline).

> css/crt.css creates the retro look: a bezel frame with power LED, a perspective-transformed screen, repeating scanlines, a slow horizontal band, flicker animation, and triple-layer phosphor text glow. Three themes are available — green P1 (default), amber P3, and white — switchable from the settings menu.


The grey bar on the left that the extension adds also collapses the comments. They are aligned vertically and they have a bigger clickable area than [-].

> it could offer the simplest and most encompassing explanation for biological harm from EMF

Frankly this is a bit of a red flag for me in terms of scientific rigour. It sounds like you want the conclusion to be true, or you already believe it to be true, that EMFs are harmful, and you are searching for ways to justify it. Careful with confirmation bias.

> would also make the benefits of sauna, red light therapy, grounding/earthing, and other practices more legible

This is also a bit suspect. These treatments don't seem to have much in common and it's unclear how they may affect the phenomenon you are discussing. Coincidentally they also tend to be some of the go-to treatments for a myriad unscientific wellness practices.

And I'm not sure how you plan to observe the molecular structure of water with a basic microscope. I suppose that trying to induce Rouleaux formations by exposing red blood cells to WiFi is worth a try of course, but it would be very strange if such a basic thing hadn't been observed already by the scientific community.


>It sounds like you want the conclusion to be true, or you already believe it to be true, that EMFs are harmful, and

Wouldn't it be more accurate to hypothesize for a start, that man-made EMFs are likely to be harmful than safe. We co-existed with nature for eons and our bodies will be tuned to deal with the 'natural' EMFs, magnetic fields etc. Anything that is not 'natural' has to be viewed with more suspicion than something natural. Note that I'm not claiming that everything natural is good and everything 'artificial' is bad. Also the distinction between natural/artificial can be blurred.


Yeah okay... Surprised to see this as the top comment.

> Hexagonal water, also known as gel water, structured water, cluster water,[1] H3O2 or H3O2 is a term used in a marketing scam[2][3] that claims the ability to create a certain configuration of water that is better for the body.[4]

> The concept of hexagonal water clashes with several established scientific ideas. Although water clusters have been observed experimentally, they have a very short lifetime: the hydrogen bonds are continually breaking and reforming at timescales shorter than 200 femtoseconds.[7] This contradicts the hexagonal water model's claim that the particular structure of water consumed is the same structure used by the body.

Though funnily enough, you can make real 'structured water' at home in your freezer. Making your ice crystals hexagonal is theoretically possible, but it's really, really hard to grow monocrystaline water ice. That might be a really interesting niche hobby, though.

See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VA710QYxEu0 for the latter.


Well yes, that’s in a solid state. Lots of crystals have hexagonal structures since it’s the optimal packing distribution.

If “structured water” just means that there are tiny ice crystals in water, sure that’s very plausible, but I doubt it would have much of an effect.

PS: Trying to grow crystals of different challenging structures does sound like an awesome hobby.


Oh, the pseudo-science 'structured water' is absolutely bonkers. I just went off on a mildly interesting tangent.

If you liked this check out 365tomorrows.com, they one such scifi story for each day of the year on rotation, quite similar in style, wit and length.

It’s a great daily snack, the constraints of Flash Fiction yield quite lean and punchy stuff.


Check out charkoal.dev it has nested canvases and a few other extra features.

It is a great VSCode extension as-is, but the maintainers have abandoned it and they keep refusing to make it open-source. Someone is bound to make an open-source copy soon.


This looks interesting! Thanks for sharing.
