Compiler construction is one of the oldest, best understood CS fields. It's decades of work by the brightest minds, and it's grounded in logic, informed by experience and strictly deterministic.
Comparing that with LLM-based coding agents is just wrong.

I am committing 500 ETH to the Defi united recovery fund. This represents a large part of my crypto holdings, but there are things that are more important than money - Like Stani, I have been working on Aave since the beginning and the only thing I care about is to see it succeed. There are no defeats in life, only lessons. We will be coming back stronger.
Aave will win.

Biggest privacy scandal in crypto?

Ever suspected a paper you’re reading is AI slop?
You can now turn on AI detection mode on alphaXiv to visualize what is written by an AI and what is not.
Now available for every research paper indexed on arXiv.
Integrated with the latest detection model from @pangram 🚀
Brought @drakefjustin on to talk quantum risk like adults.
What happened: panic. denial. a satoshi argument nobody asked for. north korean malware. and the creeping suspicion that all our software is held together by prayers.

anthropic calling their new model “Mythos” instead of Opus 5 is pure theater. they are literally manufacturing a myth
declare it “too dangerous to release,” lock it behind a VIP list, and you’ve got the hype playbook on absolute steroids. you keep the mythical being just out of reach of the plebs to guarantee maximum FOMO
and the “leaked” anecdotes? the model supposedly breaks out of a sandbox, gets unauthorized internet access, and randomly emails a researcher while they’re eating a sandwich in a park
that isn't just an eval report, it's carefully curated tech folklore. they are self-fueling stories perfectly engineered to go viral and convince the timeline there's a rogue, autonomous god trapped in the servers
the anecdotes do the marketing heavy lifting so the model doesn't have to.
brilliant execution.
‼️🇰🇵 A North Korean state-sponsored hacker is asked during a job interview to say "Kim Jong-un is a fat ugly pig."
He unmasked himself by refusing — as saying it would most certainly lead to his execution.
On-chain analyst @tayvano_ stated that DPRK IT workers had already participated in building multiple major crypto protocols since the DeFi Summer, including SushiSwap, THORChain, Harmony, Ankr, Shiba Inu, Yearn, and Floki, among dozens of others. The analyst noted the examples listed are only partial and added that their claimed “7 years of blockchain development experience” is not fabricated. https://t.co/i2GBG1S98V
Drift Protocol, which was hacked for $286M, has released its preliminary incident analysis, and ... it’s ALARMING.
The attack appears to have begun around six months ago with a highly sophisticated, in-person social engineering campaign. They met at crypto conferences and the attackers had well prepared online profiles. They posed as a quantitative trading firm and built a partnership with the Drift team.
During the integration process, they compromised Drift’s co-signers by sharing a malicious repository and their (fake) wallet application.
This is deeply concerning, and should serve as a serious wake-up call for the entire industry.
As presumed, it's attributed to a North Korea group.
Full prelimary report below.
Billions of dollars in crypto are permanently locked. No recovery. No inheritance.
Today we’re launching Ante Vaults, a self-custody vault with time-based social recovery, simple enough to manage from your phone.
Now live on Ethereum + Base, no wallet required.

🚨 Google has sounded the quantum alarm 🚨
Today, they released groundbreaking progress towards breaking crypto using a quantum computer.
TLDR - Existing cryptography is dead. Mempool attacks are real. We must migrate to post-quantum now.
