That was exactly my point. GP mentioned ‘chasing null pointer exceptions’, then parent mentioned that the language ’now does have nonnull annotation’ , prompting me to explain that that does not prevent null pointer exceptions. So, not

It’s the same as scanning for CSAM, or encryption-backdoors “to catch criminals”. Of course we hate child abuse. Of course we hate criminals. Of course we hate social media addicting our kids. But they’re just used as emotional framing for

A security researcher claiming that they’re not skeptical about LLMs being able to do part of their job - where is the financial stake in that?

by catoc 8mo ago
It does if the person making the statement has a track record, proven expertise on the topic - and in this case… it actually may mean something to other people
