Appears to be an interesting read.

Some ANSI escape sequences, this might help me write a program to clean up transcripts.

The number of transistors is smaller than I had expected, it is interesting to compare it with the values for Mailüfterl.
pdp-1: 2700 transistors and 3000 diodes, Mailüfterl: 3000 transistors, 5000 diodes according to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mail%C3%BCfterl

jq is like sed for JSON data - you can use it to slice and filter and map and transform structured data with the same ease that sed, awk, grep and friends let you play with text.

Some results are reported in https://joshondesign.com/2022/09/21/idealos_mark6, but it seems more like a (slow) prototype.

The description below sounds intriguing.
In numerical analysis, the ITP method, short for Interpolate Truncate and Project, is the first root-finding algorithm that achieves the superlinear convergence of the secant method[1] while retaining the optimal[2] worst-case performance of the bisection method.[3] It is also the first method with guaranteed average performance strictly better than the bisection method under any continuous distribution.[3] In practice it performs better than traditional interpolation and hybrid based strategies (Brent's Method, Ridders, Illinois), since it not only converges super-linearly over well behaved functions but also guarantees fast performance under ill-behaved functions where interpolations fail.[3]
