- 7Hacker News·7/20/2026researchStudy Finds AI-Style Writing Has Risen Across arXiv Papers
A study scored the full text of 12,750 arXiv papers and found that roughly a third of recent submissions read as machine-written under its calibrated detector. The effect varies widely by field, with computer science highest and mathematics near zero, while the authors emphasize false-positive limits and other methodological caveats.
- 7Hacker News·6/30/2026framework_updateFil-C Adds Memory-Safe Context Switching Support
Fil-C now supports setjmp, longjmp, setcontext, getcontext, makecontext, and swapcontext in a memory-safe way, avoiding stack corruption and dangling-stack execution. The update focuses on preserving safety even when these APIs are misused, which is especially relevant for code that implements exceptions, coroutines, and fibers.
