You ever spin in a circle? You do it a few times you don’t really notoce, you do it a lot, younget dizzy.

The earth has been spinning in a lot of cirxles, and we are starting to cross into the “do it a lot” range of spins.

The $500 price tag is the hardest part of this to swallow.

The real question.

Are people watching private repos go public? Or are people watching for exposed credentials?

Like if I make a Snake game in Python, then make it randomly go public, would anyone notice or care?

That’s why they call a group of fish a school.

Yeah, some asshole fish climbed out of the ocean 35 million years ago and now we have time as a concept.

AI is really great at giving a beginner tier understanding of something, which people then take and run with as if they are now an expert.

I know people hate AI, but I fed the OP pic to Claude and asked it to explain the code and maybe gice modern comparisons to something like Python.

This is AGC (Apollo Guidance Computer) assembly code from the lunar module’s landing radar routines. Let me walk through it:

P63SPOT3 — “Is the antenna in position yet?”

CA   BIT6
EXTEND
RAND CHAN33
EXTEND
BZF  P63SPOT4

Reads a hardware channel (CHAN33) to check the state of the landing radar antenna. BZF means “Branch if Zero” — if the antenna bit is already set, skip ahead.

if radar_channel_33 & BIT6 == 0:
    goto("P63SPOT4")

“Nope, not there yet — bug the astronaut”

CAF  CODE500
TC   BANKCALL
CADR GOPERF1

Loads error code 500 and calls GOPERF1 — this triggers a crew alert, literally asking the astronaut to manually crank the antenna into position. The comment says it all: “PLEASE CRANK THE SILLY THING AROUND”

display_alert(code=500, message="Antenna not in position, please fix manually")
await_crew_response()

“Did they fix it or bail?”

TCF  GOTOPOOH  # TERMINATE
TCF  P63SPOT3  # PROCEED — SEE IF HE'S LYING

Two possible outcomes: crew hits terminate (GOTOPOOH — yes, really), or hits proceed and the code loops back to P63SPOT3 to check again. “See if he’s lying” is the actual comment, meaning: verify they actually moved it.

if crew_pressed == "terminate":
    goto("GOTOPOOH")
else:
    goto("P63SPOT3")  # trust but verify

P63SPOT4 — “Okay, antenna’s good, initialize radar”

TC   BANKCALL
CADR SETPOS1

Calls SETPOS1 to initialize the landing radar into position 1.

bankcall(SETPOS1)  # configure radar for landing approach

“And we’re off”

TC   POSTJUMP
CADR BURNBABY

BURNBABY. That’s the actual name of the burn routine. Jumps to the powered descent initiation — the engine ignition sequence for landing.

goto("BURNBABY")  # 🔥 start the descent burn

The whole thing is basically: check hardware → nag human if needed → loop until fixed → initialize systems → light the engine. Written by people with a great sense of humor under enormous pressure, in 4KB of RAM.

Ok. Also I am sorry the audience of Stack Overflow dried up for folks to use as punching bags.

AI Companies: “We want to get people addicted.”

Also AI Companies: “Do not ever discuss anything even remotely pornographic.”

I am confused as to their goal here.

Yes, that is what people are saying, make the effort and contribute.

See, this is what people say when they say “people who can code” are doing good things with these LLMs.

Why the fuck would you ask the model to count elements?

Ask it to make a python script that will do the counting, then run the script.

Well you see… subscriptions.

Thats kind of his point though.

New users, are coming from Windows. They know “the windows way”.

Hell I had to dump all my mapped network shares on my laptop because when I wasn’t at home, the whole thing just stalls out constantly, looking for them, instead of just saying “Oh, its not there” and moving on, or just ignoring it until I actively click on it.

Like every other nearby country (Greenland, Venesuela, Canada, Trump wants to be in the history books for “Trump added the state of Cuba!” Instead of “Pedophile Trump was the worst person and President ever.”

Also “CoMuNiSm BaD” derrangement.

It made him so efficient that he finished work in a few days.

Amazing.

God requires faith!

And regular tithing!

“Why are you using PHP instead of Py Go ++ Framework??? Its way betger for use cases of 100,000 people or more.”

Nevermind that you may be supporting a legacy system used by 20 people that runs on a literal potato anyway.

Its dead because its biggest users are useless asshokes.

Because AI use is up! The FUTURE!

Aren’t some of the LLMs moving away from the unlimited token subscriptions since they are losing a ton of money?

I don’t really follow that, I would neverpay for an LLM.
