the c compiler results or the physics results this post is about?

  His point is going to be some copium like since the c compiler is not as optimized as gcc, it was not impressive.

    You probably don’t know what you’re talking about.

      Why wasn't the C compiler it made impressive to you?

        I found this was the least impressive bit about it https://github.com/anthropics/claudes-c-compiler/issues/1 https://github.com/anthropics/claudes-c-compiler/issues/1

          >I found this was the least impressive bit about it https://github.com/anthropics/claudes-c-compiler/issues/1 https://github.com/anthropics/claudes-c-compiler/issues/1 So, I just skimmed the discussion thread, but I am not seeing how this shows that CCC is not impressive. Is the point you're making that the person who opened the issue is not impressive?

        It didn’t work without gcc and it was significantly worse than gcc with gcc optimizations disabled.

        Like everything genAI, it was amazing yet surprisingly crappy. Yes, the bear is definitely dancing. But a few feet away there's a world-class step dancer doing intricate rhythms they've perfected over twenty years of hard work. The bear's kind of shuffling along to the beat like a stoner in a club. It's amazing it can do it at all... but the resulting compiler is not actually good enough to be worth using.

          >It's amazing it can do it at all... but the resulting compiler is not actually good enough to be worth using. No one has made that assertion; however, the fact that it can create a functioning C compiler with minimal oversight is the impressive part, and it shows a path to autonomous GenAI use in software development.

          OK, but don't you see where this is going? The trajectory that we're on?

  The C compiler.

    of course the results were much worse than what was communicated on the media, it was content marketing not an attempt to build a better c compiler.
