Not the OP, but I would rather give a formal specification of my system to an AI and have it generate the code. I believe the point is it's easier for a human to verify a system's correctness as expressed in TLA+ and verify code c

It's relatively easy to catch cheaters. There's constant banwaves in Valorant, CS2, and Rainbow Six Siege. The challenge is that cheat authors fix their exploits to be undetectable, and the cheaters get a new account in a week or

There are little behavioural nuances in your writing or the timezones/subjects in which you edit. Using multiple accounts is mostly forbidden by Wikipedia policy, unlike most websites, so just proving the link can be enough. Icewhiz is

Just as a fun fact, there are IATA airport codes that designate cities instead of airport for purposes like this. NYC is one of them. So is YTO (Toronto) or CHI (Chicago, which should probably replace ORD).
