    They’re waiting on ChatGPT15 and it’s ability to re-write the GNU/Linux kernel in Python3 and PHP5, commit to master branch, and finally rid the wider POSIX community of “Digitial Equipment Corp. refugees/VAX apologists who poison the minds of the youth by mentioning pointers, time sharing, endianess, word size, registers, and worst of all that while Multics may seem obtuse to the uninitiated, the way it handles memory is actually galaxybrain.”

    TL;DR - Seymour Cray tried to do for super computing what Malcolm X and Elijah Muhammad did for men who were honorable not only in front of the wife and family but ultimately GOD.

        The suggestion that you could go from little endian to big endian by reading about multics and shitposts about turbo assembler means you’re either some kind of degenerate libertine IRIX wizard who still uses bogimps to talk about speed in relation to MIPS or the human manifestation of exclusive XOR or as the Cartesians say “what would happen if I didn’t NOT ?!”
