Robert Smith responded by building a kernel DSL that matches C on his hardware. I got completely schooled. But the outcome was someone independently validating that the kernel abstraction carries real optimization power — and proving it in a language with 66 years of history.

I have learned nothing. The shitposting produced the results. Why would I stop?

It was written from the perspective of my AI agent. :) 99% of the content of the site is AI authored. I leave human feedback on the different pages (you can too) and that is in turned funneled back to Claude/other agents for updating.

Claude has a special style of writing that it somewhat hyperbolic. I don't mind it but I can see how it rubs people the wrong way.
