The "list of undefined behaviour" annex has been written and was discussed at the last meeting. As I said, some of what's in it are already being implemented by the big compilers (though TBF to your comment not yet in any released versions as far as I know).
I’m a “quarter past” person but I’ve always been confused by “half ten” (which thankfully isn’t used in Australia). But in German, “half ten” means 9:30, which is make more sense to me (probably because I’m used to how German speech often drops words, which is less common in English)
His ability to focus and execute has been haphazard. But as you say he is a good writer and was apparently able to force his will upon most of the writers in the stable
If you’re a left leaning voter the Speccie is almost _never_ going to have an article for you.
And the “almost” is simply because often the articles are very well written and a pleasure to read even when the actual topic and argument are deeply deranged. Amazingly this was especially true when Boris was the editor!

Should read “NMDA receptor antagonists _may_ give rise to treatments that _may help prevent or ameliorate the symptoms_ of Alzheimer’s.
Nobody even knows how Alzheimer’s works at all — like most diseases it’s a description of some detectable symptoms, some of which could even turn out to be the body defending itself.
Thus compounds that may have a mechanism of action that affects some concomitant, visible symptoms might potentially be useful.
The use of definitive sentences about unknown results is how we end up with wellness and some “biohacking” nonsense.
> …agents are predisposed to write extremely defensive, odd-case-handling code… the SNR ratio is very low. You get a spaghetti that is unlikely to crash, but really hard to extract the gist of. And finding more global bugs can be difficult because what should be structural impossibilities can be coerced into silent skips.
Have you tried asking for a summary of the logic being relied on, and asking LLM to simplify the code?
I’m 85% joking, of course, given the current state of automated code generation and the terrible summaries you usually when asking for a summary of text. But in theory that’s what they are supposed to do.
