Being on Team Words Mean Things is difficult these days, particularly when multibillion-dollar companies put out breathless press releases saying "By using our massive language model, whose training data includes every version of GCC ever released, and having it autocorrect its own output by testing it against GCC, we managed to make a C compiler that mostly works for only $20,000 in a week and gosh I have so many feelings."
I mean, what the fuck are we even doing here.
Great news everyone thanks to my significant advances in modern algorithmic analysis I am personally able to outperform a warehouse full of specialized GPUs by five orders of magnitude with a single ARM core for one one-millionth the cost in 0.1% of the time by training the "cp(1)" command on only the GCC source and then compiling the output of that program with GCC.
The resulting compiler - which I'm calling "mhoyecc", or as I've taken to calling it, mhoye plus cc, passes 100% of GCC's tests.
omg you guys what if the cp command is sentient
what if i copy too much data and then it decides to copy me what do we do then
Quick start writing fanfic. Perhaps "Mr Men and the the methods of non-profit grifting"
mhoye
