If the author can't be bothered to even clean up behind their AI its not worth reading even the first paragraph.

I skimmed various sections. I found the animations pleasant, the text readable, and the content clearly not slop.

The historical context of the telegraph was interesting, and the treatment of bandwidth vs. latency was thoughtful.

I think it’s too long; I don’t think many people who don’t already know most of this material will read it, but I enjoyed the parts I read. Nice work!

I got about half way through, then I had 2 more kids. Then AI happened, and I started questioning the whether there was too much slop out there to bother writing a book.

I’ll still probably finish it when the new baby is a little older.

I actually like this post. It looks good, the explanations are clear, and the AI-generated animation widget actually helps me understand things. What's the problem exactly? Is using AI for visualization considered a bad practice?
