Not heard anyone fight for that once. The more pressing issues seem to he "mansplaining" and men being shirtless in the summer.

I also observed the cheating to increase. I recently tried to do a specific optimization on a big complex function. Wrote a PBT that checks that the original function returns the same values as the optimized function on all inputs. I also tracked the runtime to confirm that performance improved. Then I let Claude loose. The PBT was great at spotting edge cases but eventually Claude always started cheating: it modified the test, it modified the original function, it implemented other (easier) optimizations, ...

You can't beat China Southern . They have the most dog shit website I've ever seen. The flight was fine but I gave up doing online check in after 3 attempts. Never mind the bloat:

- date picker is randomly in Chinese

- makes you go through multi step seat selection process only to tell you at the end that seat selection is not possible anymore.

- signed up with email; logged out and went back to the SAME login page; now sign up via phone number is required!?

1) regex equivalence checker (check if intersection of complements is empty):

2) password generator from regex constraints (16+ chars, at least on upper case char, etc). Just take the intersection of all constraints and generate random matches from that:

I'm not pretending. I'm only sad.
