Formal specs as sets of behaviors

news.ycombinator.com Lorin Hochstein 2025-12-21 15:13:55

Amazon’s recent announcement of their spec-driven AI tool, Kiro, inspired me to write a blog post on a completely unrelated topic: formal specifications. In particular, I wanted to write about how a formal specification is different from a traditional program. It took a while for this idea to really click in my own head, and I wanted to motivate some intuition here. In particular, there have been a number of formal specification tools that have been developed in recent years which use programmi

Before we start with the implementation, let's talk about why would you actually need an inverted index in a real life. Why would anyone need inverted index at all Imagine you need to create a system that would quickly look up a document, given several words from it - something like a wiki search. Simplest option I can think of would be to scan through each document, marking ones that have all the necessary words. That might work at first, but such solution wouldn't scale,

Why is there a date of 1968 in the Intel Chipset Device Software Utility?

After $380M hack, Clorox sues its “service desk” vendor for simply giving out passwords

Hacking is hard. Well, sometimes. Other times, you just call up a company's IT service desk and pretend to be an employee who needs a password reset, an Okta multifactor authentication reset, and a Microsoft multifactor authentication reset... and it's done. Without even verifying your identity. So you use that information to log in to the target network and discover a more trusted user who works in IT security.
