For programmers, you need to be able to get the computer to do what you want it to do (with code).That is the baseline. There are other things that can be learned, but without that baseline, I'm going to need to review literally every line of the candidate's code (if they get hired), and I'd rather not do that.

It depends on what I'm trying to determine. If I'm trying to determine if they can use AI, then yes I will let them use it.

If I'm trying to determine if they can think (or control the computer), probably not. If they are having trouble, one of the interviewers can pretend to be AI and give answers. In the past I've had one of the interviewers pretend to be auto-complete, since the candidate depended on that, and I care if they can logic, not if they've memorized all the function names.

I give a coding interview to determine, "Can this candidate get the computer to do what they want?" Coding problems are a quick way of determining that. Of course, I could give them a month long task and see if they can complete that, but no one will tolerate that.

If a person can't manage to give reasonable, logical instructions to a computer, the LLM isn't going to help.

There are multiple proposed definitions for "clear the neighborhood.'

Even if the word completely were omitted it seems you don't understand what "clearing the neighbourhood" means since Earth, Jupiter, and Neptune are all gravitational dominant in their orbit.

And it turns out that your logic is better than the IAU, also.

A) You are an asshole.

You don't understand the basics,

B) Absolutely false.

C) You tried to deflect from my main point by attacking a strawman, which makes it seem like you don't even understand 4th grade logic. Next time address the main point: UEFI was not designed with security as a priority, which invites security bugs in the implementation. They are almost impossible to avoid.

UEFI is not secure, and you are trying to play logic games to avoid that fact. The systems you design are probably all insecure, because demonstrably you can't use logic.
