Day 2: Adding two integers on x86? Not with `add`! The compiler uses a completely different instruction—one designed for memory addressing. Why? xania.org/202512/02-ad... youtu.be/BOvg0sGJnes #AoCO2025

Ever wonder why compilers use `xor eax, eax` to zero registers? It's smaller AND faster—CPUs optimise it out entirely!

I know it's more complicated than this but it would genuinely be a better first approximation to tell newcomers that C/C++ does not have strings or arrays
"if you pass an array to a function it can no longer tell how big it is, you have to tell the function how big the array is in advance" - they made the language wrong then!
(i am joking but it is funny finding out how much harder this is than c# or python)

I hope everyone working on LLMs has reckoned with their role in building a technology that, so far, has offered little to no benefit to humanity — while causing real harm by degrading art, undermining labor in creative industries, and straight up automating political propaganda

the “C” in “CPU” stands for the C Programming Language. CPUs are called that because they are a hardware implementation of the C Abstract Machine as specified by ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 22/WG 14.
