      how will the vibe coders survive this?

      please, will somebody please think about the feelings of the poor vibe coders :(

        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.

              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.

                  Assembly code isn’t ”compiled”. To quote wikipedia:

                  Assembly code is converted into executable machine code by a utility program referred to as an assembler. […] The conversion process is referred to as assembly, as in assembling the source code. The computational step when an assembler is processing a program is called assembly time.

                  My point is that people are already trying to replace compilers with LLMs, and yes, it is stupid as shit, but still real.

                  Also, maybe see if an LLM can help you detect sarcasm without explicit content tagging.

            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

        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

      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.
