the “C” in “CPU” stands for the C Programming Language. CPUs are called that because they are a hardware implementation of the C Abstract Machine as specified by ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 22/WG 14.

If you were serious about correctness, your program would dump its entire memory to a file after each instruction, and then call a different program to parse itself and make sure everything is ok

Arena allocation is when you make your data structures fight over how much memory they get. It has its place but lacks the elegance of battle royale allocation

In the future, medical records will be stored on the blockchain. But the blockchain will be the weights of an LLM. But the LLM will be inside the metaverse. But the metaverse will be on the cloud.
