Yeah, ok, but this doesn't invalidate what I said above. Completing the degree with MIT, Stanford, Berkeley, and such will cost you ~$100k per year (give or take) but they will also open you a door of landing a prestigious job more eas

Mixed mode is about the same function compiled with different evaluation semantics in different TUs, and it is legit. The only case they are wondering about is how deal with inlined functions and they suggest ABI extensions to support it du

This seems to be 2nd in row proof from the same author by using the AI models. First time it was the ChatGPT which wrote the formal Lean proof for Erdos Problem #340. https://arxiv.org/html/2510.19804v1#Thmtheorem3 >

The funny thing is that it works, have a look at the MR. It says: All existing tests pass. Additional DWARF tests verify: DWARF structure (DW_TAG_compile_unit, DW_TAG_subprogram). Breakpoints by function and line in both GDB and LL

I tried to give a counter-example of people being replaced in an extremely complex piece of software as we speak. This may or may not be related to AI but I am inclined to think that there is some correlation - yesterday 8 people in the tea

Nobody here is talking about the pacemakers nor am I suggesting that AI will be replacing 100% of working force. While we are at writing documentation, did you hear about the latest layoffs from MySQL which, among others, impacted heavily t

Yes what? Both oxcaml and ocaml have compatible LGPL licenses so I didn't get your argument. But even if that hadn't been the case, what exactly would be the problem? Are you saying that I cannot learn from a copyrighted book writ

It matters because it completely weakens their point of stance and make them look unreasonable. Header is irrelevant since it isn't copyright infringement, and FWIW when it has been corrected (in the MR), then they decided that the MR

I am wondering how often do you use AI models? Because I do it on a daily basis, and as much as they have limitations, I find them to be performing incredibly well. It's far very far from being a demo - last time it was a demo that loo

Can you give an example what exactly was copied? I ask because I took a look into MR and original repo, and the conclusion is that the tool only copy-pasted the copyright header but not the code. So I am still wondering - what's wrong
