Anyone who thinks AI is good with writing code that is hard to write for the operator, not due to lack of basic software engineering know how but complexity of the domain, either has access to models beyond what is available to the public o

Sure, but it still means that the OS has to decide who is allowed to do it and to what extent. Sophisticated worms like Stuxnet would be much harder with strict W^X for example, since CVE-2010-2568 and the like would be much harder to execu

The issue is that it restricts from locking-down and securing the system with Write xor Execute memory. So it has system wide implication. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/W%5EX

You're entirely correct because JIT requires violating Write xor Execute security policy. This is the reason on iOS, it is limited to Apple shipped software. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/W%5EX

Roads do not result in random deaths, drivers, and to a much lesser extent poorly maintained cars do. I know it might sound like a distinction without difference, but when it comes to safety measures, this distinction does matter. Roads tha

I am well aware of the Statistical Value of Life and how it impacts projects. But that is generally used for allocating preventative measures. No road is going to get approved if it is going to result in random deaths by design.

Your point is understood but the crux of the issue is a bit similar to capital punishment, the argument is that risk of losing even one innocent person or useful book isn't worth taking; specially considering the value created for soci

Thinking more, the object of the "house" is to extract value, whatever it is by rent or letting them burn it down, as long as the correct dues are paid, the mission is accomplished.

Saying that "a software engineer requires a baseline of understanding of software engineering" is substantive and anything short of that is not "thoughtful" or "kind" but rather disingenuous and sycophantic. Pr

Yes, that is the problem, as the titles says "Google has stopped pushing Git tags". No git tags, no cryptographic content hash.

The problem isn't that you should know everything, but that you should know how to dig into these things. The op isn't even talking about HID and input subsystem, they're talking about replacing a goddamn binary in a package.

I don't think pandering to the ideas that basically amount to "a 6 week bootcamp makes you a Software Engineer" is honest or useful. It is sycophancy and disingenuous. If someone doesn't even know where to start looking

A git hash is cryptographically secure. It doesn't matter how you distribute it. That is the entire point you're missing.

I have. Can you help me understand what is the issue with my comment? Can we not agree that not being able to know where to even start with studying and changing a binary is foundational to being a software engineer?

It is an easy to overlook this, but even for someone in position of power to change, creating different code with the same hash is borderline impossible.

Even Example 1 works in a much narrower scope, in that you need to have a decent working setup and all the rails like a good AGENTS file and so on. The point is that "Vibing" still does not produce worthy output.
