Code and Trust: Vibrators to Pacemakers


← jackdoe CODE AND TRUST: vibrators to pacemakers I want to discuss two programs, one the program that controls a vibrator, and one that controls a pacemaker. First pseudocode for a program of a vibrator: def fib(n): if n <= 1: return n return fib(n-1) + fib(n-2) def pulse(ms, freq): start_vibration(freq) sleep(ms) stop_vibration() frequency = 2 while True: pulse(2000, frequency) frequency = fib(frequency) sleep(1000) This program will vibrate with increase frequency using the Fibonacci numbers 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34..

Pacemakers are implant devices that have electrodes connected to chambers of the heart and can force it to contract and pump blood. Lets make an argument, who will write a better program, djb(Daniel J. Bernstein: a brilliant programmer) or FDA audited and ISO certified contractor company. To be honest, my threshold is quite low, I think in 1 year we will be able to take any piece of code and audit it with `claude`, and I will put my life on the line using it.
