> Hand-written real-mode 8086. No C, no linker, no runtime library.

More like hand-prompted...

And LLMs are still confidently bullshitting:

> Everything after that is the interface you remember from a 1984 Macintosh: […] and a dock along the bottom with one tile per running program.

In that case I look forward to seeing OS X’s Aqua ported to the IBM PS/2.

From the landing page:

> 66,183 lines of hand-written real-mode assembly

Goes to the github - contributers jggonz and CLAUDE. The README.md doubles down on this at the bottom with the license.

> Everything here is hand-written; no third-party code is vendored into the OS, so the whole tree is covered by that one license.

That's what happens when you let an LLM write your ad-copy...

I’ve got nothing against AI-written code

But if people are going to post it on HN, they should consider at least writing the README / main page of their website by hand

It is nice to hear the human authorial voice, at least sometimes

I'm surprised Claude is actually decent at real-mode Asm, but maybe there was a lot of attempts and guidance by the human.

The assembly really, really hurts to read.
