Mandelbrot in x86 Assembly by Claude

Mandelbrot in x86 assembly by Claude. Inspired by a tweet asking if Claude knew x86 assembly, I decided to run a bit of an experiment. I prompted Claude Sonnet 4: Write me an ascii art mandelbrot fractal generator in x86 assembly And got back code that looked... like assembly code I guess? So I copied some jargon out of that response and asked: I have some code written for x86-64 assembly using NASM syntax, targeting Linux (using system calls for output). How can I run that on my Mac?

Archaeologists have discovered a fragment of a soldier’s wrist purse at the site of a temporary Roman camp in South Moravia, Czech Republic.

Slouching Towards Sensemaking

Slouching Towards Sensemaking There’s a particular quality to the confusion of our current moment that reminds me of standing in Dolores Park at dusk, watching fog roll in from Twin Peaks while the Mission stays stubbornly sunny. We’re between weather systems, between worlds. The old information order – built on broadcast towers and printing presses, gatekeepers and institutions – is visibly dissolving. The new one hasn’t quite condensed into recognizable forms yet. We’re in the interregnum, an

Louvre shuts down with staff sounding the alarm on mass tourism

PARIS — The Louvre, the world’s most-visited museum and a global symbol of art, beauty and endurance, has withstood war, terror, and pandemic — but on Monday, it was brought to a halt by its own striking staff, who say the institution is crumbling under the weight of mass tourism . It was an almost unthinkable sight: the home to works by Leonardo da Vinci and millennia of civilization’s greatest treasures — paralyzed by the very people tasked with welcoming the world to its galleries.

Assembly Theory of Time

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2026-02-24 11:41:02

If the lineages are followed back beyond the origin of life on Earth to the origin of the universe, it would be logical to assume that the memory of the universe was lower in the past, which means that the universe's ability to generate objects of high Assembly is limited by its size in time. Some objects are too large in time to come into existence in intervals that are smaller than their assembly index. For complex objects such as computers to exist in our universe, many other objects had to f

A Deep Dive into Solid Queue for Ruby on Rails

news.ycombinator.com Hans-Jörg Schnedlitz 2026-02-23 11:31:09

Our previous article in this series established that Solid Queue is an excellent choice if you need a system for processing background jobs. It minimizes external dependencies — no need for Redis! — by storing all jobs in your database. Despite that, it is incredibly performant. But just being performant is not enough for a production-ready background job system. Rails developers have come to expect a lot over the years. We don't just want to enqueue jobs to run in the background. We want to sc
