What are some practical applications for a SAT solver?

hinkley Jul 30, 2020 View on HN

Are there any software development problems we should be solving with SAT solvers instead of using heuristics?

goldenkey Jul 9, 2018 View on HN

Isn't this like an enhanced SAT solver?

DanWaterworth Jan 23, 2016 View on HN

Interesting. I wonder how a sat solver would do with this problem.

Can you please share your personal experience of using SAT solver with real world problem?

munin Oct 27, 2011 View on HN

isn't this what SAT solvers are for?

YeGoblynQueenne Jun 13, 2017 View on HN

I think "SAT solver" gives a sufficient hint?

PaulHoule Sep 15, 2024 View on HN

A lot of puzzles (e.g. sudoku) are things you could solve with a SAT/SMT solver

Why are verified SAT solvers interesting?

Houshalter Aug 7, 2017 View on HN

I wonder if a SAT solver would be able to solve this faster than brute force.
