User has a gap in computer knowledge and researched low-level computer concepts. They now understand how computers work from startup to program execution.
A system automatically generates targeted unit tests for rare bugs using fractional proof decomposition, catching bugs like Anthropic's approximate top-K bug. This method decomposes theorems into smaller PBTs, allowing for systematic understanding and control over testing compute, catching rare bugs without sacrificing developer speed or efficiency.

Alice and Bob independently flip a coin and lie 20% of the time, and trusting their statements results in an 80% chance of guessing the coin flip correctly. Adding more friends who lie 20% of the time does not improve the chances of guessing correctly, except when the number of friends is odd.
The Emacs widget library is powerful but painful to work with due to its simplicity and lack of documentation, making it suitable for simple UIs but not complex ones. A new library called vui.el is available to provide a more pleasant development experience by handling state management and layout while still using the widget library under the hood.
