  • Could I trouble you to go deeper? I’m think I’m getting it but if we were to say uncompile GTA V or Super Mario Bros, could we make changes and figure it out from there or would it be complete nonsense with no way points to jump in at and get a grip on what is being done.

    On a side note I was told once that everything is 1s and 0s and as a result that someone could type a picture of you if they got the order right. This could be why I’m so wrong in my understanding given I’m now assuming this was bullshit.



  • Thank you, sorry to push further but my understanding is that computers deal with binary so every language is compiled to machine code, which I took as binary.

    So if the language has elements being removed and the machine doesn’t need them shouldn’t you get back out exactly what is needed to do the task? Like if you compiled some code and then uncompiled it you would get the most efficient version of it because the computer took what it needed, discarded the rest and gave it back to you?
