No, but to be honest, why would you want it to? That's... well, you already showed the trivial one-liner.

Getting a grant from a single field is already a full-time job; the research typically gets done as overtime.

If all you have is a spade, that is _not_ evidence that spades are good for excavating an entire hill.

It takes longer, but a spade is better than bare hands. The goal is to speed up finding valid vulnerabilities, and be faster than humans can do it.

If you have an automated spade, that's still often better for excavating that hill than you using a shovel by hand.


But is it true or false?

I’ve used titles like that for thirty years.

I'm going to ask the qustion I ask everyone who makes the claim that they wrote like that for years: Can you show us a link from prior 2022 that you wrote like that?

No, of course not. It’s all corporate internal documentation.

I suppose my high school essays were not. Apologies, but those are lost.


Nobody owes you evidence for your witch hunts.

Sure, but, look, we have seen these claims so many times, that if it were true by now someone would have linked at least one archived blog post to show that it is, indeed, how humans used to write.

The lack of a single example is very telling.


Sure, and an LLM-written article will use that pattern eight times in two pages.

ZFS is out because the Linux developers refuse to cooperate by providing the hooks it would need to avoid duplicating the disk cache.

That’s the only real reason. There are some papercuts, but they don’t compare to the risks described in this article.


A licensed engineer who signs off on a bridge that collapses will not remain an engineer, and may be open to criminal prosecution. Their employer knows that, and therefore doesn’t ask them to make that choice. In the rare cases where they do, the engineer doesn’t end up blacklisted across the industry for saying no.

A software engineer is not so lucky.


China has never threatened war against my country; America has. Between the two, it’s clearly safer to lean towards the Chinese options if EU ones aren’t available.

That’s incredibly naïve.

More naive than blithely blowing off threats of war?

Meh, people have their own interests and values. And you can't force people to spend money no matter how much you may disagree with them

Bring on the Chinese, fuck the Americans.


Americans hating on the Chinese for doing to them what they did to the rest of the world for 50 years.

Just without the bombs part.


Nothing but Love for China.

How so?

A modern fridge also uses approximately five watts, on average. There are far better targets.

good thing the grid cares about long term average real power and not instanaenous reactive power then.

At the rate robots are improving, will that still be the case in ten years?
