There are 160000 lines of assembly (.asm and .S files) in FFmpeg. Functions mostly implemented in C but with a few assembly overrides for various platforms that they felt could be sped up with assembly.

@tsarnick Claims finance is becoming too complicated/AI will reduce our understanding. - Doesn't understand what risk is or a sharpe ratio - YOLOd life savings into single meme coin - Conflates systemic understanding collapse with personal financial collapse after being rug pulled.

@mattparlmer Spiders have been living in advanced built structures since at least 300m+ years, perhaps alive still 400m years ago in the Devonian age of the fish. We had fire/spears refined with many phases of workmanship including heating to make the speartip brittle and so more workable
