   I don’t think pilots unions do much to restrict supply.

   Professional athletes and pilots have unions. They both make considerably more than your average programmer, even in FAANG and even with equity.

   Why not ask your AI to review their AI slop? It feels like a new age version of “that which can be asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.” Basically, “that which can be sent without thought can be responded to without

   I respond starkly when sent AI generated responses at work. “Please do not send me AI generated analysis” or “I don’t think a wall of text from Claude is helpful here.”

   For what it’s worth that’s a sentence I would write if that were my paper and I was writing the abstract.

   I don’t think it matters so much if LOM are better at offensive security or defensive security. I think offensive security was previously an extremely niche skill set (how many people off the street would be able to solve even a few CTF pro

   I’m not gonna comment on if it’s a good idea or not, but the US government could make it illegal for any financial institution that does business in America interacting with crypto. They could also make it illegal for any US financial insti

   How has it helped in production software? Are you writing a lot of Haskell?

   Reluctance to build makes it a self inflicted problem, no?

    Well that’s not his primary job. It’s an extra task he’s doing at his job. At a non-tech company with small/horrific engineering components, someone in the business who can do any programming (or vibeing) is indistinguishable from magi

    “The business can’t survive if it has to play by the rules” is not a compelling reason to not make rules in my opinion.

    Maybe, maybe not, but clearly using them to generate bullshit citations is acting with disregard for the truth.

    Hallucinating citations is “generating bullshit” in the purest sense.

    It could be a prompt issue, but I write a lot of concurrent code, and I’ve given it a lot of attempts. I’ve been following model development since word2vec and friends so I think I have a good appreciation of the state of the art and how mo

    I have a friend, smart guy, who is writing web services and “connecting them together” for a large firm; he has absolutely no programming experience. Talking to him, he told me he couldn’t even reverse a string. He is at once many times mor

    I’ve seen AI write a lot of buggy code. I’ve rarely seen AI wrote test cases that expose buggy code.

    They could be context aware and check if other cars go through and things of that nature.

    This is the exact same heuristic used in CPU scheduling. We expect fresh processes to terminate quickly and long running processes to last for a while longer.

    Are you at an above average risk of being targeted by a state level threat actor?

    Fraud requires intent to deceive _or_ reckless disregard, sometimes called, “conscious indifference” for the veracity of the statement asserted.

    I’m not sure what you mean. I saw the emoji bullet point, the em dashes, the date of the first post, and scrolled to a random paragraph; that’s plenty of verification.

    You’re right, but it’s immediately right up top next to the em dashes.

    The AI image and immediate emoji bullet point really turn me off from investing in a 36 minute read from a blog started in late 2025.

    I don’t work a ton with C, but I wonder how C programmers keep track of what behavior is and is not defined. It seems like there are many possible edge cases.

    In some sense, and without the interviewer knowing, that is actually a great scenario for an interview. If you can convince someone in a position of authority that they’re wrong about something technical without upsetting them then you’re p

    I was just thinking about that earlier this week. Claude can write code pretty well, but there are just a few tasks that I need to do to orchestrate everything. If it could do those tasks well even some of the time it would be about 10x mor

    SAT solving, constraint programming, and (integer) linear programming are absolutely AI. These are techniques that let computers make smart decisions. Maybe they’re not AI in the way you’ve heard marketing teams use it recently, but they ar

    I met some lovely Timefold folks at the Informs conference, and I appreciate the work you do. Any idea when a port is coming to new languages?

    Metaheuristics (for example, genetic algorithms) are applicable for any type of optimization problem, but especially those which are non-linear in nature. Modern mixed integer linear program solvers are impressively good, but the less linea
