There must be like a 1000 examples of c compilers in git hub alone. No idea why building LLM building one is impressive. It's right there in the training data.

- vatsachak 2mo agoI said gcc, not a C compiler
- karmakurtisaani 2mo agoTrue, it does more than just c. Does it do anything the usual LLMs don't have in their training data tho? I doubt it.
- vatsachak 2mo agoNo, not that is does anything more... It's that gcc is an old and reliable piece of software built on abstractions that have stood the test of time.
- mathisfun123 2mo agoby that measure an LLM can "build" you gcc by doing cp -R lol
- vatsachak 2mo agoNo. Starting in a sandbox given only the C specification and assembly code specification build a gcc equivalent (maintainability and performance) from the ground up.
- mathisfun123 2mo agoBrother I have no idea what your goalposts are supposed to measure in your mind but I do know they're meaningless for everyone else.
