Code must not be written by humans Code must not be reviewed by humans I feel like I'm taking crazy pills. I would avoid this company like the plague.

I feel slightly disappointed. At the same time nobody is obliged to live like the public (or his "fans") think that person should live.

You can't 100% be sure the AI won't hallucinate. If you don't want to manually check it, you can have a different AI check it and if it finds something suspect flag it for a human to verify it. Even better have 2 different AI

AFAIK there is no Rust compiler for Plan 9 or 9front. The project is using a dialect of C and its own C compiler(s). I doubt adding Rust to the mix will help. For a research OS, C is a nice clean language and the Plan 9 dialect has a some n

Many years ago I've used Editra under Linux, it was crashing and losing my unsaved changes at least once a day. Sure, these days you could (and should) use source control, but still I would be concerned about using a non vetted editor

I appreciate that the author clearly states that he wrote the book with various LLMs. This way people that don't want to read LLM generated text (like me) can skip it and LLM enthusiasts can enjoy it. this book was written with signif

Nobody is imposing anything, feel free to ignore my philosophy of death which I like to call reality.

IMHO, it is a terrible idea. Why would I feel offended by a cemetery ? Death is a part of life. It sounds like you are trying to transform cemeteries in find a pokemon like game, which some people will find way more offensive.

Your CTO is right, reviewing code is harder than writing it. Any experienced programmer will confirm that. If the human is the bottleneck the logical step is to use a different AI to review the code produced by the original AI. You can ev

I guess the idea is that if the code does not crash at this line: DEBUGASSERT(slen < dsize); it means it succeeded. Although some compilers will remove the assertions in release builds. I would have preferred an explicit error c
