Assumptions

Your AI Coding Assistant Is Lying to You (And Itโ€™s Not Its Fault)

Your AI coding assistant isn’t broken โ€” it’s acting on hidden assumptions you never agreed to. A new tool surfaces those invisible defaults, turning the black box into a glass box. But be warned: making assumptions explicit shifts the burden from debugging code to debugging the agent’s worldview. The future of coding isn’t smarter agents โ€” it’s agents that tell you what they’re thinking.

You’re Wrong About Magic Hexagons (And Probably About Everything Else)

For decades, magic hexagons were thought to be possible only for orders 1 and 3. Then a mathematician redefined the constraintsโ€”and suddenly they existed for every order. This isn’t just a math trick; it’s a blueprint for breaking through any ‘impossible’ barrier in your work. The lesson: question your assumptions, not your abilities.

What Happens When You Point AI at a Perfectly Secure Microkernel? The Answer Will Shock You.

Pointing an AI at the formally proven seL4 microkernel isn’t just a security test โ€” it’s a collision between two paradigms of truth. The AI won’t find a bug in the logic, but it can reveal the unproven assumptions the proof was built on. The real vulnerability is never in the code; it’s in the model of reality you didn’t think to verify.
