If you force it to use chain-of-thought: "Two fathers and two sons sum to how many people? Enumerate all the sets of solutions"
"Assuming the group consists only of “the two fathers and the two sons” (i.e., every person in the group is counted as a father and/or a son), the total number of distinct people can only be 3 or 4.
Reason: you are taking the union of a set of 2 fathers and a set of 2 sons. The union size is 2+2−overlap, so it is 4 if there’s no overlap and 3 if exactly one person is both a father and a son. (It cannot be 2 in any ordinary family tree.)"
Here it clearly states its assumption (finite set of people that excludes non-mentioned people, etc.)
In my case I've had it (Opus Thinking in CC) hit 80% of the 5-hour limit and 100% of the context window with one single tricky prompt, only to end up with worthless output.
Codex at least 'knows' to give up in half the time and 1/10th of the limits when that happens.
The DSi and GBA modes on 3DS aren't emulation, there's an actual Arm7 and GBA/NDS IP blocks in the 3DS. For the parts that do require software intervention (DSi RTC, input remapping, etc.) it's more-or-less hardware virtualization.
If you have a ChatGPT subscription, try Codex with GPT-5.2-High or 5.2-codex High? In my experience, while being much slower, it produces far better results than Opus and seems even more aggressively subsidized (more generous rate limits).
Not the person you are replying to but, even if the technical skills of AI increase (and stuff like Codex and Claude Code is indeed insanely good), you still need someone to make risky decisions that could take down prod.
Not sure management is eager to give permission to software owned by other companies (inference providers) the permission to delete prod DBs.
Also these roles usually involve talking to other teams and stakeholder more often than with a traditional SWE role.
Though

I agree with this statement. While the timeline is unclear (LLM use is heavily subsidized), I think this will translate into less demand for engineers, overall.
I think it is important to know that AI needs to be maintained. You can't reasonably expect it to have a 99.9% reliability rate. As long as this remains true work will exist in the foreseeable future.
For good companies; there are _quite_ a few companies that underpay and not as many interesting job opportunities. Let's just say "at least 2x~2.5" and move on.
Also, even if you did not mention it, UK is a bit of a special case (English-speaking countries that has thus been attracting quite a lot of international talent (and companies) at least until recently), I wouldn't put it in the same bucket as EU countries.
There is a lot of everything and I got lowballed with 85 today (with three mandatory hebeas corpus days, while the rest of the team is in a different country lol).
I'm not sure where the UK part comes from zo? Nobody upthread mentioned it.
> The C++ inline keyword is treated similarly as well, with different metrics used of course.
You are thinking of C's inline/static inline.
C++'s "inline" semantics (which are implied for constexpr functions, in-class-defined methods, and static constexpr class attributes) allow for multiple "weak" copies of a function or variable to exist with external linkage. Rather than just an optimization hint it's much more of a "I don't want to put this in any specific TU" these days.
