Also, as a dev, this kind of coding drives me fucking crazy, all the insane verification harnessing and imagined deterministic proofs overlaid on C++. It's the most awful unenjoyable way to code.

    Data processing on the plane systems will be a big important thing I recon. All that sensor data which makes modern planes so advanced needs to be processed. Turning raw signals into identifiable objects of concern then acting on them.

    If this report is accurate, then this data could be used to degrade the F-35 stealth capabilities.

    Even just having the code will allow you to know the specs of the sensors on the thing. That alone is useful.

    Plus think about little things like actuator controls, power controls and so on. You can get a real good idea of the hardware specs of modern devices by looking at their code.

      unless you find some absolutely picturesque type of bug, it’s probably not that useful outside of reverse engineering, so what if a rocket approaching from that precise angle will be invisible or cause cascading failure of avionics? you can’t use that at those speeds

        1. With 375 TB you probably are going to find picturesque bugs
        2. The angular resolutions and fields of sensors are highly protected. It’s not going to be something like hitting a precise angle and boom, you win. It’s going to be something like “within this angular range the resolution is X” thereby giving resistance engineers an understanding of whether their own systems are capable in what scenario, how to test and improve them. Little tidbits of info like that added up will give you a valuable picture.

        And I’m just talking about the real basic stuff here. Who knows what kinda shit is in the 375 TB.

      Yeah, I’m a little skeptical. Even that Twitter account doesn’t seem to believe it’s real:

      To be honest, I don’t believe this is real. The marketplace/threat actor is new and doesn’t have a track record.

    I have almost zero faith that this is real. Probably just some bullshit cooked up by Claude.

    What would 375 TB of source code even contain? That’s an astronomically large amount of data as source code. Maybe there are some gigantic reference data files coming from empirical measurement?

        9TB of source code is still a lot, but maybe reasonable. My old journal repo is like 2GiB by itself and that’s just one person taking notes and writing down software sketches for a decade. Nixpkgs is like 6GB or so checked out.

        I guess I can imagine a bunch of embedded tool chains plus systems code, divers, and stuff adding up quick. sheesh no wonder this thing sucks.

          Before there was vibecoding there was outsourcing and elaborate Manhattan Project style strategies for parceling out work to untrusted foreign sweatshops such that the nature of the whole could not be determined from analysis of the specifications of any particular part.

          That might partially explain how projects like this could accrue such a massive unwieldy quantities of code, since we can now see the same effect on a smaller scale with unlimited vibecoding projects.

          It’s a miracle anything works as well as it does and not a surprise planes keep falling out of skies in the civilian and military worlds.
