Gemini parsed 5000 lines assembly program. And it understood everything.

I wanted to change it from 32-bit MSDOS to 64-bit Linux. But it realized that the segmented memory model cannot be implemented in large memory without massive changes which breaks everything else.

It was willing to construct new program with seemingly same functionality, but the assembly code was so incomprehensible that whole project was useless as a learning tool. And C-version would have been faster already.

Sorry to say, but less talented humans like me-myself are already totally useless in this.

Wait, I thought you said it understood everything..

What? I mean it made its own version, but it was so full of incomprehensible squiggles that it was useless as a learning tool.

I just wanted to see what it would look like. Lesson learned.
