Seems like I have much better results with Gemini <= 3.5 Flash being able to solve 10 Lake levels. Of course there may be methodology differences (like how many times the level is attempted from scratch).

I wonder if the reasoning tokens are still being accidentally discarded between turns in those tests. It seems to be much more important to preserve those for Gemini, as it likes to stay quiet and and just make tool calls, unlike Claude that yaps a lot what it's planning to do.

Good stuff, I've been trying this myself with Geminis: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=brkP58pZ23w&list=PL8C_UWcLmv...

Will be interesting to compare the results.

Cool to see others trying Baba Is You too.

No, tool definitions are provided via some other mechanism.

I don't think this is about core kernel semaphores but rather the SysV semaphore system calls?

Ah, but you see Xbox security updates won't be for your security. They will be for protecting the console's security against jailbreaks etc.

I wonder did their prompts include a fake location or have the models assumed that Silicon Valley is the center of the universe :)

System prompt for something like Claude Code should be identical, no?

The bottleneck was with the serial protocol between the drive and C64. It was done via bit banging in software due to some chip bug. The fastloaders replaced the protocol with something more amenable to bitbanging.

That is the reality for huge amount of ARM powered hardware, unless you fancy running vendor forks of kernel, u-boot, etc.

You can't if the firmware provided DTB doesn't follow any upstream Linux approved bindings and instead uses some vendor kernel specific bindings.

Have you actually tested the portability? MacOS ships an ancient bash version and neither mac or BSDs use GNU version of coreutils.

I'm also very doubtful performance of this would be faster than python, bash is very slow.

Quite safe in practice, even Nintendo games have had no issues. GTA 3 / Vice City decompilers did get sued though, but IIRC mainly because they did not comply with DMCA requests at all.

Yes, exact version of the original compiler is required.

Generally bit-for-bit equivalence to the original executable is expected. However I think for some cases where the original executable included debug info (eg. PS2 ELFs) then the unused-at-runtime sections need not match.

I have seen some pre-AI over-mocked codebases where the "tests" where essentially that (but harder to read than regex would have been)

dezgeg — Fri, 19 Jun 2026 21:45:05 +0000

Detect tests somehow (eg. in rust you could check for #[test]) and just skip the analysis for that function?

Even if it could, it would be ridiculously token inefficient to update huge amount of addresses instead when some small change is done to the middle of a binary

What does "long term memory" mean? It can write down notes from past/recent support requests? If so, that sounds like risk of one customer's data leaking to another.
