Many forms of static reasoning about program behaviours are known in the literature, yet formal relationships are studied surprisingly infrequently. While most type systems are well-known to be captured by abstract interpretations, the situation for type-and-effect systems is, in the general case, unsettled despite strong hypotheses and occasional framing of effect systems as abstract interpretations. We develop a formal relationship between abs... Read more ›
The ongoing rise in AI/LLM-generated patches hitting the mailing lists and affecting development workflows continues to impact Linux kernel development. For the ARM64 architecture updates in Linux 7.2 is an interesting anecdote over over feeling like this activity has "slowed us down a little on the feature side" and having to deal with this AI/LLM patch activity resulted in some features now being postponed from making it for this current Linux kernel development cycle...

matklad: Russian! Condolences and huge respect to everyone in the thread who had to learn it as a foreign language, I feel like it’s basically C++ of human languages. While I think you can make a case for this compared to other Indo-European languages (even if that’s hard since we have no idea about how some extinct Indo-European language families looked like like East-Germanic), I think that saying that in general is a bit hard. There are some really strange or just hard things done by some ... Read more ›
