      Truth.

      I am astounded that games like Crash Bandicoot, Tomb Raider and Abe’s Oddysee with their massive sprawling worlds were crammed into such relatively tiny file sizes.

      Necessity gets results

        I was about to get insulted but I almost closed the lid on the laptop by accident and now have to make sure my cloude still operational on the task I gave it, so I can’t be rerouting my attention span resources

        Vibe coders will ask the AI to write everything in Rust, memory usage will be reasonably low

        The people writing everything in Electron are gonna have a fun time with their users though.

            low-level compilers can output very ugly-looking assembly. he probably did this and then used LLM to super-optimize it. may be perfomant, but id guess that theres a risk that its unsafe.

              Who cares about ugly-looking assembly ? No one’s gonna actually look at it, that’s, like, the whole point of C. And I really doubt the plagiarism machine can somehow do better than a compiler. I’m gonna look this up

              Edit : is it this one ? https://arxiv.org/html/2505.11480v1

              Yes, but why write C when we can let the LLM write assembly directly? Compilers are unnecessary bloat we don’t have a need for with modern technology.

                Putting aside assembly code gets compiled as well, the bottle neck is always validation of these systems. Making the systems more opaque makes the already difficult task of ensuring it works even harder.
