Maybe I should mention how well it does.
It's caught some bugs before they're published, some fairly serious. But mostly its hallucinated many problems which aren't really there.
With all the code we write being reviewed by robots now, the code is written slightly differently to avoid it going on about issues that aren't really there.
People imagine that code is written for the computer to run, but really it's always been written for the programmers to understand. Now it's also written keeping in mind it'll be reviewed by an AI that has no context or understanding tasked with nit-picking to review.
Arguably this is ending up with better code. More unnecessary re-validation of everything mostly, but its also taking longer rather than being quicker.
Is that more efficient? 🤷 Sort of maybe?

Introducing CQ: A C-like API for Quantum Accelerated HPC
In this paper we present CQ, a specification for a C-like API for quantum accelerated HPC, as well as CQ-SimBE, a reference implementation of CQ written in C99, and built on top of the statevector simulator QuEST. CQ focuses on enabling the incremental integration of quantum computing into classical HPC codes by supporting runtime offloading from languages such as C and Fortran. It provides a way of describing and offloading quantum computations which is compatible with strictly and strongly ty…

I know some complain about George R.R. Martin and his speed of writing his book series: he started writing "Song of Ice and Fire" in 1991 and so far published five big books (1996, 1998, 2000, 2005, 2011) with two more planned.
Beginners.
Ever heard of Donald Knuth? He started writing "The Art of Computer Programming" in 1962, planned in 12 chapters. So far, six and a half chapters have been published, in five big books (1968, 1969, 1973, 2011, 2023) with thre…
