I am a professional encoder and I always put all my codes in a single big file marked EXE for faster execution.

Get popcorn ready
Upload the entire Linux kernel, then submit the "fixed" code as a PR to Linus.
Enjoy popcorn
My sibling in christ, we are trying to code not cause a NATO conflict.
I’d love to see Linus verbally bitchslap the fuckwit. Or physically, that’d be cool too.
No one who legitimately knows anything about computing speaks like this.
He’s truly a moron’s hallucination of a genius.
Wdym. Just copy-paste your source code. Go ahead. That one single file with the source code, copy-paste it.
Why the fuck can't these assholes just go away?
You've won life. We get it. Good for you. Why do you need more money? Why do you need to constantly be the center of attention?*
It truly is just a handful of unscrupulous, malignant narcissists that have ruined everything (including the planet) for everyone else.
*these are rhetorical questions
- substance abuse
greed should be a mental illness
these mfs don't need money anymore, they need power. money is just a byproduct of it.
I’d posit that they haven’t won and are fundamentally broken people seeking to fill a void that no amount of money could fill. I know for certain I could never attain this much wealth as I would stop way before tens of millions.
They have turned life into an idle game and are bored now?
They're playing life on god mode. But, they're also very lonely. They drive away their original wives, who married them "before" (Bezos, and Gates). Their kids hate them. Everyone they come in contact with is paid in some way to be there. They have no real human connections. They're surrounded by personal security staff 24/7. Also, Epstein just hung around the entrance to the rabbit hole. That hole goes deep, and I think we all know it.

No, that was a much larger group effort. You and me can't wash our hands of it. Like, even if you ignore the majority of stuff they don't own, we let them do that.
Well said. We don’t like inequality, but when it comes to blame somehow we all get a “tax free” discount.
Yes, they are awful people. They have more than enough money to live out their sickest fantasies and it’s still not enough for them. But they are - at least in part - a symptom of the way the rest of us live. We vote for a government that lets us forget our humanity, class consciousness and responsibility in place of overbearing capitalism. Only we can stop this.
So "don't talk to strangers" or "don't give your credit card info to strangers" never really reached the audience, did it?
Yes, I who knows a lot about programming, only use one file per application.
The entire file! My biggest frustration with cursor is that it doesn't support reading from multiple projects at once so it can see the context of how the projects interact or how interfaces are implemented.
Add the other project folder to your workspace. BAM, now it has backend context in the frontend.
Have you used GenAI for art? It can do a reasonable job for the entire composition, but the extra fine detail have to be inpainted with specific prompts, and there are special routines that make sure faces and hands look human.
The same with code. It can outline the entire project but details need to be inpainted and specific errors handled.
The context window can't handle an entire codebase, never mind multiple projects.
Actually, I have my entire code base documented in obsidian, and I literally tell cursor to refer to the documentation. It works amazingly well, and then I have it draft documentation for the new features it's creating. I can do in a day what I used to do in a week, and it's not because it's doing anything advanced, it's just takes care of so much of the brain draining tedious tasks.
LMAO, yeah let's jist disregard all the other files that are definately not required contextually!!!!
Having multiple files increases the compile time, think of all the femtoseconds you can save by having everything in one place!
Why are all my variables suddenly named after SS officers?
Führer loop
It's for familiarity, that way you can remember the variables better. taps head
/s obviously
This just confirms Twitter is a 1M line BASIC program.
Think of all the GOTOs
More like all the On Error Resume Next statements. Which wasn't even the worst thing about Visual Basic! VB also had the On Error Resume statement. On Error Resume Next at least moved on to the next line after an error occurred; On Error Resume just re-executed the error-generating line, I guess on the assumption that something would eventually change there.
There would just be one of those, at the top of the 1 file…
On Error was used within a function, so you would have one (or more ... or less) per function.
Oof indeed! After 40 years, I forgot it even had fns
I started with VB3, which didn't have custom classes. I have no idea how I did anything back then, but at least it was better than TurboBasic.
I did years of gw-basic, then ms quickbasic, j++, java, c#, now rust.
I did BASIC on the Apple IIe, then TurboBasic, Visual Basic (3, 4, 5 and 6 with some C in there somewhere), VB.Net, C#, Java, Objective-C and finally QT. Now I drive a school bus.
Omg you landed my dream job. Another couple years and I can quit this desk shit and go make kids lives better.
Lol "landed". We are fucking desperate for drivers. So desperate that one of our drivers totaled two cars in one day last year and didn't even get suspended.
Interesting to meet another person that went through the “GW-BASIC to Rust” journey. Mine was through FreeBasic and C++ in the middle but we ended up in the same neighbourhood.
Elon goto hell
Hmm, can you upload files? Wonder if they set an upper limit. Wonder which language would burn the most cycles?
Knowing how half-assed they've been deploying Grok a ZIP bomb would probably work on it if they allowed file uploads.
I really want someone to try this and report back. It really does feel like something that could execute.
not the same thing at all, but there's already been a couple of pretty high profile "prompt injection" malware cases out there.
Ask for all output in brainfuck.
I have asked several LLM to output brainfuck and Malbolge, but none of them seem capable to do so, even those that implement train of thought, me included ofc.
bf was my first thought, but I would think that would be very easy to parse for computers, and hard for humans. So maybe something that's a lot more verbose?
Could go for a middleground. Verbose -and- obscure. Check out fetlang when you're not on a work computer.
Do you have to print it out and scan it first?
Presumably anybody that does this gets their code integrated into the training data right?
It will definitely not report back to Musk on your proprietary code...
Because Musk wouldn't understand shit, it'll report back to some Indian guy instead.
I've been saying for a long time (since the 2010s tech boom). There's needs to be a new term the public lexicon termed "poptech" or popular technology. In the same vein has popsci.
The technology anyone knows anymore is oversimplified for general audiences. These days is almost always imparting wrong understanding.
The industry has been rife with grifters. If people catch on then the bottomless pit of funding will become very shallow.
i think ive pinpointed exactly why twitter devs are terrible
What I still don't understand, is why people still use Twitter? It's not even ordered by date, how could it be useful? Government accounts and celebrities have already moved on to other feeds .
