Okay, I have to ask first and google then:

Has anyone *ever* ported #DOOM to Donald #Knuths #MMIX machine?

I think he deserves to see that.

"Shock! Shock! I learned yesterday that an open problem I’d been working on for several weeks had just been solved by #Claude Opus 4.6 [..]
It seems that I’ll have to revise my opinions about “generative #AI” one of these days.",

A recent note by Donald #Knuth on an open problem he stated in TAOCP vol 4 (decomposing a class of digraph into cycles), the problem was solved with the help of #AI model Claude Opus 4.6. Interesting to see that Knuth still working on a possible new chapter of TAOCP and not excluding the use of generative artificial intelligence !
