Custom image loader based on POSIX/ANSI escapes, brython.js & xterm.js functionality:

Xterm.js with Brython, GitHub File Reader

Hello,

Today, what you're seeing is not the usual way of rendering an image, on the browser. What you're seeing is a terminal that looks like a linux terminal that's been stripped down and loads the essential for processing characters and their color spaces.
Every character you see in the image is a normal character, just as the ones you're reading right now. The difference is that the escapes allowed for early terminal discernment of color (0 to 256 color schema ). In this case, this takes reapplies the principle but scales down the size of each cell. But, as an added benefit, this makes it slightly harder to replicate a photo, due to it being comprised of terminal escapes and random characters.

Simply put, your photo is harder to copy/steal.

2025 blog updates:

 As of 2025, Their will be new information and new content. All content will be dynamic to what new things are possible, learned, or worth sharing. This will include programming, AI development, and advanced consideration for advancements in medical practice. As I update things on my website, I will gladly work on the interface some. The parts are going to be designed such that everything is billed by usage of complexity set. This was to prevent overly complex parts being overbilled and prevention of overuse. Because it is a tool aimed at MRI and fasta data, we have to consider the notion of training it to think like humans first. This will will be trained in sections. Most of the project thus far is successful. Meaning the last part is underfit and median fitting, then making sure each part computed in live time. This also means that the AI model will also have to think neurochemically similar to us even by emulation. Because it is a tool designed for professional usage, it will n...

Overthought engineering:

Many developers are familiar with the challenges of overthinking and over-engineering solutions, especially in software development. These challenges often become a trap for junior developers, who may end up spending more time and effort than necessary by fixating on individual components of a problem rather than taking a holistic approach. Junior developers often become fixated on the individual parts of a solution, trying to solve every minor issue rather than addressing the core problem. This fixation often stems from a misunderstanding of what makes an effective solution—thinking that every detail must be perfected. Instead, effective software engineering is about solving the problem efficiently with the minimum necessary effort while keeping maintainability in mind. By focusing too much on specific implementation details, developers lose sight of the overall objective, often leading to unnecessarily complex solutions. Another aspect of overthinking is the tendency to overuse fam...
