When code is a 370-year-old cipher
This appears to be proof that the guy who wrote the cipher, Sir Thomas Urquhart, did in fact have big asses. Porting librespot to C using Zephyr RTOS. Mostly vibecode, to see how they compete in trying to get to a goal. It is cool. But how do we know that scraping is illegal! Very good to clarify that for future proceedings against the AI thieves.
Does anyone have any intuition for how concerned we should be that one of leading foundation models will be able to take that down. Fascinating. I wonder if you could have someone try a bunch of money having AI run a shop into the ground?
Its all brute force. This was how the pyramids were built too. Verifiable goal and a lot of learnable discrete components, or even bits and gates finally.
