It just searched Bing and loaded up this very article. And man I'm getting really sick of the unrelated ChatGPT comments on literally every post, no offense.
OK, fair enough. I will stop doing it. I get down voted a lot for it :)
I found the best anagram in English (2017)

I know. I’m talking about Perl. Try to keep up.
Do pay attention. You wrote "Prior to Perl doing this was painful.". I highlighted how you contradicted the author's claim that it was easy to do using awk. Awk existed long before Perl.
As a concrete example, while my awk skills are extremely rusty, here's a program which will normalize the input line, create a table mapping the normalized name to the matching original lines, then at the end it only displays the ones with at least 5 anagrams.
I tried to avoid modern awk features, like asort, to be something that would have worked in the 1980s:
{
# Convert to normal form:
# 1. Fold to lower case
# 2. Bin the letters to get frequency counts
# 3. Only consider lower case ASCII letters
split(tolower($0), letters, "");
# Ignore asort() in modern awks and do a bin sort instead.
for (i in letters) {
c = letters[i];
repeats[c] = repeats[c] c;
}
normal_form = "";
for (i=97; i= 5) {
# print the number of matches, then the match string
printf("%d%s\n", num_matches, match_str);
}
}
}
% awk -f anagram.awk But, "painful"? No. Not to someone who knew how to use awk.

#113 Qui suis-je ?
Me voici Sultan !
Nuitisme vocal
Silice mouvant
Io, vent musical !
Le voici musant
Mot inclus à vie
Ce motival insu
Là vous émincit
Cultivons amie
Si il vaut ce nom
Son val muet ici
Indice:
Si nul vice à mot
Vu ici slame ton
Nom c'est via lui
Vaincu tel, omis
Who am I?
Here I am, Sultan!
Vocal nightism
Moving silica
Io, musical wind!
Here it is, musing
Word included for life
This unknown motive
There, it slices you down
Let's cultivate, friend
If it's worth that name
Its silent valley here
Hint:
If no word vice
Seen here, slams your
Name, it's through it

#114Hm... I was prepared to be skeptical, but the winning pair is indeed a really great anagram. Good stuff!

I'm listening. Please explain.
You basically said, “Can you believe someone actually was so stupid as to ask this question on stackexchange? I didn’t believe anyone could actually be that stupid, so I wasn’t go to address it, but it turns out there actually are people that stupid, and they actually outed themselves by posting their question out in the open! So, here I am having to address it in my blog post in case there are other people who actua…
I’m pretty sure I wrote an anagram solver as a teenager that just spins through permutations forever. I guess I was that stupid once. No comment on whether I’m cured now. Your point is valid, the wording can be read as to imply negativity, but that’s also interpreting it in a negative light. The author was also defending his warning against an imaginary rebuttal, justifying the mention to not to waste time solving anagrams the naive brute force way. I don’t think he was trying to be elitist or offensive, and it is in fact true that people will solve anagrams the slow way, so doesn’t hurt to mention it, and it can even help on occasion. We don’t have to take it as condescending.

#116Don't forget the utterly classic anagrams we made out of "Information Superhighway" when that term was first introduced to a skeptical public. https://ad1c.us/infobahn.htm
Writing a program to find grammatically correct sentence anagrams seems like quite the challenge.

I apologize for the snarky comment, I guess I just have GPT fatigue.

#119Megachiropteran lit up helicopter for me (as soon as he worte it means mega-bat) and chiro- naturally zing'd the word chiropractor. First guess was 'opter'/'opter' must have something to do with flight and the o is shared as a connective and it means 'bone-flying'. Wrong: turns out -pter is Latin for 'wing', and so we have helico(l)-pter (helix-wing) and our featherless friends are chiro-pter (hand-wing).
Made me think of ornithopter (from Greek ornis, ornith- "bird" and pteron "wing")

Waiting for someone to post a 4-symbol APL version (which makes use of a language feature added by an eccentric hedge fund millionaire in 2002 and removed in 2017, to ensure nobody ever runs it).
According to GPT-4, an equivalent APL one-liner is: (⊢⌷⍨∘⍋∘≢¨)↑1<≢¨⊢⌸(⍋⊢)¨⎕NGET'/usr/share/dict/words'1
AI-assisted APL could totally be a thing.
Why shouldn’t my programs be intense neutron stars of weird symbols, if there’s a superhuman intelligence always at hand to explain and improve the code?
