    Essentially a vibe-coded clone of https://android.googlesource.com/tools/repo ?

    Seems like I have much better results with Gemini I wonder if the reasoning tokens are still being accidentally discarded between turns in those tests. It seems to be much more imp…

    Good stuff, I've been trying this myself with Geminis: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=brkP58pZ23w&list=PL8C_UWcLmv... Will be interesting to compare the results.

    I've been trying this too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=brkP58pZ23w&list=PL8C_UWcLmv... Cool to see others trying Baba Is You too.

    No, tool definitions are provided via some other mechanism.

    I don't think this is about core kernel semaphores but rather the SysV semaphore system calls?

    Ah, but you see Xbox security updates won't be for your security. They will be for protecting the console's security against jailbreaks etc.

    System prompt for something like Claude Code should be identical, no?

    The bottleneck was with the serial protocol between the drive and C64. It was done via bit banging in software due to some chip bug. The fastloaders replaced the protocol with some…

    That is the reality for huge amount of ARM powered hardware, unless you fancy running vendor forks of kernel, u-boot, etc.

    You can't if the firmware provided DTB doesn't follow any upstream Linux approved bindings and instead uses some vendor kernel specific bindings.

    Have you actually tested the portability? MacOS ships an ancient bash version and neither mac or BSDs use GNU version of coreutils. I'm also very doubtful performance of this would…

    Quite safe in practice, even Nintendo games have had no issues. GTA 3 / Vice City decompilers did get sued though, but IIRC mainly because they did not comply with DMCA requests at…

    Yes, exact version of the original compiler is required. Generally bit-for-bit equivalence to the original executable is expected. However I think for some cases where the original…

    I have seen some pre-AI over-mocked codebases where the "tests" where essentially that (but harder to read than regex would have been)

    Comment #48603622

    Detect tests somehow (eg. in rust you could check for #[test]) and just skip the analysis for that function?

    Even if it could, it would be ridiculously token inefficient to update huge amount of addresses instead when some small change is done to the middle of a binary

    What does "long term memory" mean? It can write down notes from past/recent support requests? If so, that sounds like risk of one customer's data leaking to another.

    That's defined in Makefile

    Some stricter interpretations also require that maximum stack usage can be statically analyzed (ie. no recursion, no function pointers, no VLAs/alloca).

    It requires a keyring service being installed (accessed over dbus) and if there isn't one it just silently doesn't store them anywhere. Pretty bad UX.

    It only stores credentials in the keyring, so if you have no dbus keyring service running it just silently won't remember them.
