I figured it was the name of an assembler for a processor called the 8003.

I thought it was a flight number and we were about to be hit with months of world news headlines into the investigations of a flight that simply disappeared.

Now it's a twilight zone episode: flight AS8003 disappears over the Atlantic, simultaneously star AS8003 vanishes from the night sky, and every copy of the AS8003 assembler ceases to exist on all media.

Proof of The Simulation, and that it suffers "bit rot" too.

Yeah, me too. AS = Alaska Airlines, which I fly on semi-regularly.

I thought it was about the A380's retirement for a few seconds.
