HN discussion of interesting technology demos for fifth graders: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20069714
One popular suggestion was browser tools, showing how web sites can be modified.
Another great idea is showing screenshots of bugs in realistic games and how they can go wrong.

It is *really* hard to find a good screenshot for a CLI tool when users are on a mobile browser.
This is the best I've come up with so far. I'm showing the terminal GUI to show where you'd use the tool.
I'm also trying several standalone screenshots to make it more comprehensible.
I'm experimenting with diagnostics formatting.
* I've added a left margin, showing both the file name and line numbers
* I'm showing one line of context above/below the offending line.
* I'm using grey for comments.
What do you think? Is there anything you'd change?
One interesting consequence of the rise of LLMs: there's more demand for tools that handle untrusted input.
Arbitrary HTML+JS can be safely run in a browser. Lean can check an arbitrary proof.
These work really well with an LLM that can be wrong, but sometimes gives exactly what you want. Are there other tools in this family?
