Schematik’s Approach to Safe Coding

Schematik’s program helps code interact safely with physical devices. A recent project on Hacker News showcases an innovative calculator that operates on disjoint sets of intervals.

Interval Arithmetic Limitations

Standard interval arithmetic has limitations, particularly with division by intervals containing zero. A new calculator project defines arithmetic over disjoint unions of intervals, enabling more accurate calculations.

Anthropic’s Interest and Future Developments

Anthropic is interested in Schematik’s approach. The creator of the interval arithmetic calculator has been studying the field and notes its poor handling of division by intervals containing zero. With this development, errors in coding for physical devices can be better managed.
