Sorry I dont follow at all.

Are you stating that you have a corpus of 10TB of software source and you are frankenstiening it with interesting results? I find that hard to believe.. Surely its like Monkeys and typewriters, 10TB in that context wouldnt be nearly enough.



Parent is not talking about a 10TB corpus of software but the corpus/set of all possible software weighing 10TB (or less I guess, specially if you take the lottery ticket hypothesis into consideration).

A sibling post shows this, it presents the concept very well: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Library_of_Babel
