[00:00 - 00:06] Section 1

Visual Context

[Visual Description]: The frame shows a tripartite layout displaying three vertical terminal windows, all running a text editor (likely Vim) in a dark theme. The left panel is labeled "Python" at the bottom. The center panel contains the text "Everything sped up 4x" in the middle and "C/C++" at the bottom. The right panel is labeled "x86 ASM" at the bottom. Each panel shows line numbers 1 through 5, with the cursor active on line 5. All three panels show "-- INSERISCI --" in the bottom status line, indicating Insert mode.

[00:06 - 00:15] Section 2

Visual Context

[Visual Description]: The three-panel layout continues, with code now written in each: - Left (Python): def isPrime(n): followed by for i in range(2, 250000):, numPrimes+=isPrime(i);, and print(str(numPrimes));. - Center (C/C++): Includes #include <stdio.h>, void main(){, int numPrimes=0;, and a for loop for (int i=2; i<250000; i++). - Right (x86 ASM): Shows .section .data, f: .string "%d\n", .section .text, .globl main, main:, movl $0, %eax, and xor %r8d. - Metadata remains: "Everything sped up 4x" in the center and the headers "Python", "C/C++", "x86 ASM" at the bottom.

[00:15 - 00:21] Section 3

Visual Context

[Visual Description]: The terminal windows are now populated with execution timings and additional code logic: - Left (Python): Output shows time vim primes.py, real 0m56,074s, user 0m0,132s, sys 0m0,013s. Text below: "Python", "Programming: 56s". - Center (C/C++): Displays int isPrime(int n){ and a for loop. - Right (x86 ASM): Shows further assembly code, including cmpl $250000, %eax, jg end_loop, movl $1, %r10d, movl %eax, %r11d, shr $1, %r11d, and lea f(%rip).

[00:21 - 00:36] Section 4

Visual Context

[Visual Description]: The terminal windows show progress in timing and compilation: - Left (Python): Same status as Frame 3. - Center (C/C++): Output shows time vim primes.c, real 1m18,914s, user 0m0,217s, sys 0m0,013s. Text below: "C/C++", "Programming: 1m19s". - Right (x86 ASM): Includes code lines for prime:, not, end_loop:, lea f(%rip), %rdi, mov %r8d, %esi, xor %eax, %eax, and call printf.

[00:36 - 00:42] Section 5

Visual Context

[Visual Description]: The three columns now show programming times: - Left: "Python", "Programming: 56s". - Center: "C/C++", "Programming: 1m19s". - Right: "x86 ASM", "Programming: 2m20s". The terminal output shows time vim primes.s, real 2m19,537s, user 0m0,279s, sys 0m0,029s.

[00:42 - 00:45] Section 6

Visual Context

[Visual Description]: Runtime benchmarks are introduced for C/C++: - Left: "Python", "Programming: 56s". - Center: Adds text "Use C if you want fast code". Output shows gcc primes.c -o primes, time ./primes, 22044, real 0m5,312s. Final summary: "C/C++", "Programming: 1m19s", "Running: 5.3s". - Right: "x86 ASM", "Programming: 2m20s". Output shows as primes.s -o primes.o, gcc primes.o -o primes, time ./primes.

[00:45 - 00:54] Section 7

Visual Context

[Visual Description]: Runtime benchmarks are added for Assembly: - Left: "Python", "Programming: 56s". - Center: "Use C if you want fast code", "C/C++", "Programming: 1m19s", "Running: 5.3s". - Right: Adds text "Use ASM if you are paid hourly". Adds "Running: 5.3s" below "Programming: 2m20s".

[00:54 - 01:01] Section 8

Visual Context

[Visual Description]: Final humorous text overlays are added: - Left: Adds "Use Python if you are late for your vasectomy". Adds "Running: 54.4s" below "Programming: 56s". - Center: "Use C if you want fast code", "C/C++", "Programming: 1m19s", "Running: 5.3s". - Right: "Use ASM if you are paid hourly", "x86 ASM", "Programming: 2m20s", "Running: 5.3s".
