@Felthry @soft_chomps@glitch.social Saw the article earlier today. They kinda cheated and introduced their own buffer-overflow bug into the DNA sequencer's coding. It only worked somewhere around a third of the time because of parallelization of data input and the fact that it could be read backwards instead of forwards. So to get it consistent not only would the code need to be super tiny, but a palindrome as well!
