even if you write in assembly, you still may not actually understand what is going on in the machine since processors convert the instructions to "micro-ops", and let's not forget hardware bugs like those caused by speculative execution

Is there something I should be keeping an eye out for, or preparing for so everything goes smoothly at least with regards to this community?

On the 6th of May, 2028, travel to 2 Augusta Hills Drive, Bakersfield, Kern County, California, United States. At exactly 4 PM local time, place an orange traffic cone on top of the nearest garbage can and await further instructions.

Youtube actually uses 128kbps opus, which should be significantly better than 160kbps mp3

but the real problem is that you can't know what quality the uploader used, it all gets recompressed by youtube.

This is probably an exaggeration of "is pepsi okay" and analogues, the employee doesn't want to screw up the order by a potential misunderstanding

I read on a pop sci magazine years ago that "this is not the first time we have offered a design, but nobody was willing to buy one so it didn't get built"

They could do it without recompilation, but something like changing the obfuscation and recompiling for every copy would likely make it much harder to get rid of the watermarks even if you can compare several different copies

(though they could also have multiple watermarked sections so that any group of for example 3 copies would have some section that is identical, but still watermarked and would uniquely identify all three leakers. The amount of data you need the watermarks to contain goes up exponentially with the amount of distinct copies, but if you have say 1000 review copies and want to be resistant to 4 copies being "merged", you only need to distinguish between 1000^4 combinations so you can theoretically get away with a watermark that only contains about 40 bits of data )

wikipedia describes dark matter as a "hypothetical form of matter"

nowadays dwarf fortress has built in multithreading (and the combination of other optimizations and the progress in CPU power has made it a fairly well-performing game overall)
