That's what I thought too when I first saw it. But then I actually took a moment to read it and eventually changed my mind.

I thought it was about prehistoric Rust before the main branch was created :)

There should be 2 options for speed, regular and sped up. Then there should be a key to speed the game up. When I was a kid, it was the space key for GBA. You could have the normal game and skip the boring parts fast.

It's a GNU Coreutils command.

Not that spammers couldn't do without this feature, but advertising it as a service is kinda weird.

Looking at the title, I was confused why a recommendation of some random PC gamer is interesting. Capitalization is important.

It's not so cheap, in terms of maintenance and mental load

* The tool is truly amazing. Both for simple usage, and the advanced queries that it accepts. Very powerful, like a command line tool.

* As another comment says, v1.5 alpha has many advantages. Despite the alpha label, I find it to be very stable.

* Several software integrations exist: https://www.voidtools.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=6326, I mostly like being able to see folder sizes instantly in explorer. I used xplorer2 in the past, which has a plugin, but I went back to native explorer, which has a Windhawk mod, feels like what Microsoft should have done: https://windhawk.net/mods/explorer-details-better-file-sizes

I wonder how much of it is due to the model being familiar with the game or parts of it, be it due to training of the game itself, or reading/watching walkthroughs online.

9/10 for originality. 2/10 for usefulness.

Not bashing, that's how good ideas are found. But not this time IMO :)

In the era of LLM-generated content, such a high-quality writeup is a breath of fresh air. Well done!

This guy is doing something else completely. In his words:

> In my testing, it's between 1.2x and 4x slower than Yolo-C. It uses between 2x and 3x more memory. Others have observed higher overheads in certain tests (I've heard of some things being 8x slower). How much this matters depends on your perspective. Imagine running your desktop environment on a 4x slower computer with 3x less memory. You've probably done exactly this and you probably survived the experience. So the catch is: Fil-C is for folks who want the security benefits badly enough.

(from https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46090332)

We're talking about a lack of fat pointers here, and switching to GC and having a 4x slower computer experience is not required for that.
