Exactly yes.

Interestingly; the way that MSC51 and LINK 5 lay out the binary depends on identifier names. There's also length restrictions due to memory limitations. So although the names aren't going to be historically accurate; the possibilities are at least bounded!

The approach really boils down to just giving the LLM the clear target of 100% binary compatibility with the same toolchain. It makes it easy for it to check its work and iterate towards it.

It's probably a couple of months of intermittently using £15pm subscriptions between OpenAI, Anthropic and Google; nowhere near maxing them out.

MSC 5.1 is a relatively simple compiler; and there's lots of prior art on Civ 1. I've set them off on a slightly more obscure and recent game now; so we'll see how well they manage on that!

Regarding legality - IANAL so perhaps we'll see. I just wanted to see how the sausage was made.

Can you link the tablet?

If it was a German professor talking about buttermilk do you think he would given a build up?

Of course they would, dropped into a communication course with no prior warning.

I disagree with the assertion, prior to your edit, that the complaint was necessarily unwarranted.

But regardless, the reactions in the comments here are verging on hysterical - references to McCarthy, and even Stalin and Mao.

> I don't need to be warned about a sound because a similar sound with a different meaning is used in negative ways.

Perhaps you don’t - that’s fine. But can you see why other people might need such a warning?

If you were teaching a foreign language word with a similar sound to “motherfucker” what reaction would you expect from your class of 18-21 year olds?

No - I can’t remember when i learnt that; possibly because I’m English and due to geographical proximity.

I was surprised by the linked video though, it could have done with a prior warning in my opinion.

I can’t believe the reactionary comments to this.

Of course, we have no idea of the context. But if it was anything like the linked video - and it could have been worse - it’s perfectly understandable why students would be surprised and perhaps upset.

If you disagree, its worth asking yourself, what reaction would you expect if you were a chinese professor enunciating the word “cunt” during a lecture, with no prior warning?

> Not only does this barely resemble the racial slur, it is indistinguishably used in a context where it's implicitly clear and even explicitly stated that it's a term from another language.

In the linked video it sounds exactly like the slur, To a surprising extent.

It was introduced with no warning and I’m not surprised people were shocked if this was the same context as the class - although we don’t know the full details!

I’d be surprised just to hear a word sounding like “fuck” in the middle of a chinese class, although it’s probably not considered as offensive.

It doesnt surprise me at all that some people were upset and it seems very unwise on the part of the professor, who would surely know that this would provoke a reaction. A suspension from teaching his one class for a term will defuse the situation and perhaps he can return to teaching after.

I don't think this is true - sounds like resharper, an extension for Visual Studio. I don't think this is the default out of the box.

StyleCop on the other hand - a freely available linter as opposed to the commercial resharper - mandates the use of `this` by default.

> fell under pressure

What kind of pressure did they fall under?

Its either a moral pressure (option 1) or a financial pressure (2) isnt it? What other kind of pressure is there?

Regarding your examples, i have no doubt that if Lego felt releasing such kits either violated their ethical standards (1) or threatened their profitability (2) they wouldnt make the kits, and that is where they (not I) presumably draw the line.
