When investors or M&A underestimate technical risk, the consequences are not abstract; they show up in missed targets, stalled growth, customer churn, and emergency engineering spend that was never priced into the deal.

🦞 BIG NEWS: We've molted!

Clawdbot → Moltbot
Clawd → Molty

Same lobster soul, new shell. Anthropic asked us to change our name (trademark stuff), and honestly? "Molt" fits perfectly - it's what lobsters do to grow.

New handle: @openclaw
Same mission: AI that actually does things.

@iyoushetwt I think I'm a bit older than other people replying to you 😀

Knowing how to write assembly is a skill you should learn, and these guys have a great resource for you!

I've debugged 10,000 lines of assembly for every line I've ever written... but writing assembly from scratch is a core computer science skill, I believe: even if you never use it.

Will you use it to write new code? Maybe not. But when you get dropped into a call stack without source code, at least you won't have to ask your Dad for help!

And the next thing you should do after learning to write ASM is to get a crisp understanding of what your C code actually compiles to. Like a switch() statement is often a jump table, but if you've never debugged one...

Then x86 would be a RISC processor

[LaurieWired @lauriewired]

Everyone knows that the x86 ISA is big.

Modern CPUs have ~1000+ mnemonics. Guess how many make up 90% of compiled C/C++ code?

TWELVE. I'm not kidding.

The question is…what if we shrank it?

@tswain555 @jasonvmiller I tried this in early 2000s and a 5+ yr developer. So-called principal rejected the code as unsafe and insisted it be wrapped in a strict to guarantee placement. I couldn’t be bothered to argue.

@Outlaw_Rabut @kurosci Not on Windows XP. We’ll stick with C++ for a bit longer

@lemire It’s not the language it’s written in that is the problem here

@peterhil @BatsouElef 8088 was a math coprocessor. Maybe a 8080?

[Craig Henderson @cdmh]

@BatsouElef I don’t remember the first I used, but this was my first - a birthday present, aged about 8 or 9. Sinclair ZX81. 1K of RAM, not external storage, plugged into tv

@olliethedev @karpathy Time will tell. I don't think you were wrong

[Craig Henderson @cdmh]

@incomputable @chrisoldwood Genuine question, not wanting to sound like a troll... If you used ChatGPT, which is incapable of original thought, is this an original optimisation, or just one you've discovered now? How can you tell? If you can tell, and its the latter, then can you get a reference to source?

@azeem @hamishmckenzie How many as first author?
