I’ve seen people here learn programming languages by building a compiler, but my go-to project is usually the ICFP 2006 contest. It has a well defined scope, it is entertaining, gets you into the advanced concepts…
I’m pretty sure that same discourse was seen every mass production epoch, from textiles to electronics. Yet here we are, expensive hand-crafted high quality things are rare and expensive.
I’m curious who was across the street from whom, I’m assuming Nitobi was one.
Fundamentally, the code can be understood by humans, but the volume of the generated code outpaces human capacity to understand it.
If you like this kind of stuff, check out sci-fi books by Peter Watts, at least read the epilogue of the Blindsight book which mentions saccades and other ways the brain can be tricked.
What’s interesting about that is that brain doesn’t actually give you much access to the sensor information directly, but gives an interpretation instead. There is a thing called Saccadic Suppression that blocks visual…
