I'm wondering about the 'searchability' or canonicalization of such a theorem library. How do you make sure there's no duplicate work? How do you index the thing? Can you match and input / output proposition and look through the whole database and have it find all related theorems?

I'm thinking 'automatic lemma matching' for software verification. e.g. In a SPARK proof you might need to use a lemma [0]. If you formal math education is lacking or maybe your theorem library is not encyclopedic, you might want suggestions from 'the hive'...

What log operators should be doing, and I am surprised they are not, is verifying new additions to their log on a separate system or systems before publishing them. In the worst case scenario they might hit a hardware bug that always returns the wrong answer for a particular combination of arguments to an instruction in all processors within an architecture, so verification should happen on multiple architectures to reduce that possibility. If incorrect additions are detected they can be deleted without publishing and the correction addition can be recreated, verified, and published.

ECC RAM would help somewhat, but independent verification is orders of magnitude better because it's a cryptographic protocol and a reliable way of generating broken log entries that validated on another system would constitute a reliable way to generate SHA2 collisions.

I built my side project during the weekends since the start of the pandemic, shipped it and then decided I didn’t have the energy to actually run it. Still glad I did it and I could pick it up again if I wanted but at this stage between work and family, side projects need to take a back seat.

Apart from the salary, this is the thing I enjoy the most about having a job as opposed to being a University student. When I was a student I wasn't all that organized, so I often felt guilty about spending time on other activities than studying. But now that I have a job, I can get my 8 hours of work done during the day and then feel guilt-free about spending my evenings and weekends on whatever I want.

That seems like the monopoly on violence with... more actual violence.
Something being free simply means the government paid for it on behalf of the worker. Direct resource allocation likewise just implies the government paid for it albeit without consideration for margin or potentially the ability of the resource allocator to remain solvent.

Direct resource allocation implies that valuable resources were taken from one activity and allocated to another, the workers who produce the resource still get paid (hopefully!) and the equipment still undergoes wear and tear or upgrade requirements. The production's value can still be estimated either by the equivalent market rate of the good or by the cost of making it.

When the government pays people to build housing that they give away for free there is still "production". When the government orders a mine to ship steel to another location the workers are still paid.

When the government orders a mine to produce for no input and doesn't bother to maintain equipment they effectively take a loan against the capital equipment in the mine. Eventually the mines productivity falls to zero as the mine fails to remain solvent requiring more capital infusion.

If the government can order workers to work without pay then the estimation has to account for similar economics to slave states, which unfortunately is also well trodden ground owing to economies such as the US's prior to 1865.

Making a cloud city on Venus is totally doable but it should be noted that the surface of Venus only rotates once per year (the actual orbit around the sun makes it two days per year). However there is a point in the clouds where you have earth level pressures and temperatures, and the clouds encircle Venus on a time scale much closer to Earth days.

I feel this can be summarised as "integration tests > unit tests". And yes.

However, for tests you want to run locally and quickly, the question should be, can you get the speed advantage of unit tests with the largest possible amount of integration? Can you only mock things that are "outside the system" (such as DB, networked services, and file system)?

IMO the biggest risk of integration testing is non-cleanup. I feel that is one of the major positive use cases for mocking. A mock DB will not retain garbage from previous tests, or previous runs of the same test.

It's hard to say the ER is overused because most of us are not medically qualified to decide what constitutes an emergency. A heart attack, an infected gallbladder, and heavy duty heartburn present similarly enough that the suffering patient can't be expected to walk himself down a diagnostic flowchart. But if we could get proper diagnostics and triage in before admissuions and a lot of other resource allocation, it might improve results.

I could see adding the a bank of triage experts "in front" of the ER. The ambulance, of course, skips this phase, but if you come in conscious and able to walk in, they can perform some basic checks before admission, and turn away some patients as better served by urgent care. Maybe this costs some modest flat rate, billed sort of like a repairman who doesn't charge for the trip and diagnosis if you get actual repairs performed.

I suppose then you get into a related matter-- once you're at the hospital, being told to go somewhere else means "get back in the car and travel to the strip mall urgent care elsewhere" which would lead to frustration and delay.

Intel Optane SSD DC P5800X Review: The Fastest SSD Ever Made
Yup, this is a very important point to be made. Central planning works very well when there is free association, that is, there is a market for people to pick organizations to associate with. A failure by planners leads to people quitting working there, downsizing, less business, all things that cannot happen in an organization where there's no alternative for people, such as a nation state. There is no low friction feedback mechanism for a state that enables it to reorganize as needed, mainly because we don't get to decide what state we are a citizen of.
Beats every one of the tools I've used in the past (though they've all probably matured significantly since I last used them, but then again, so has Blender in the time I've been using it). :)

As to Maya, I've personally shown Maya users around Blender and gotten quite a few "OOooh"s and "Aaah"s out of them, so I dunno… Maybe they might be easily coaxed away from Maya. I certainly intend to sing the praises of Blender to any of 'em that'll listen. ;)

This is a good tutorial.

The problem of out-of-order data becomes more challenging as ingest throughput requirements increase if your storage representation must guarantee a strict total order. In high-throughput designs this is often handled by relaxing the strict total ordering requirement for how the data is represented in storage. As long as the time-series has an approximate total order at ingest time, there are many techniques for inexpensively reconstructing a strict total order at query time.

Don't discount survivorship bias. The Japanese monarchy lasted (as a political entity) for 2600 years, but in that time consider how many thousands of other autocracies rose and fell throughout human civilization. It's a bit like pointing at some old, well-preserved houses and saying "they sure made houses to last back in the day", when in fact all the houses from back-in-the-day which were not built to last have long since rotted away, and whose presence cannot attest as a counterexample.

> especially impressed that it caught the "as BS"

what i understand from a completely armchair perspective, is that this kind of context-holding is THE feature of this wave of ai models, which is what similarly allows it to generate paragraphs of prose seemingly out of whole cloth, tracking what it's talking about as it rambles along. the output seems (with occasional glaring issues) remarkably cohesive and realistic, given that it has nothing original to say. I picture it as taking sentence structure it's seen before, and narrative structure it's seen before, and topics it's seen before, mixing them all up, and putting them back together like multidimensional legos- from this perspective, processing the 'import as' lego seems to fit right in.

The whole concept is fascinating, and i'm immensely relieved that we seem to have such a competitive open-source implementation of this nightmare

Don't get me wrong; I did really love Lightwave. It was prolly my favorite by far before I got my brain wrapped around the Blender workflow. You can thank YouTube (and some amazing tutorial creators there) for me bein' able to finally grok Blender enough for it to replace all my other 3D tools properly.

I think one of my favorite things still to this day about Blender is how heavily customizable the UI is. How easily you can recreate your favorite workspace layout from whatever software you're most comfortable with. I still tend to set me up a tab with a Lightwave-like 4 pane 3D view just because it's sometimes still useful to me. :)

I actually found the opposite with regard to college, work. and socialising.

At college I had few friends, and spent most of my time with computers, studying mostly things outside what I was supposed to, and staying up far too late by myself or with one or two friends in the computer room. We did good things, but I wouldn't say that time was particularly sociable.

At my first job after college, that's when I started to get a decent social life. The people around me were more rounded and better connected than those at college, and I was invited to things like house parties and outdoor activities much more than at college. Perhaps it helped that I could also finally afford the costs of socialising.

This was at a games company - low pay relative to other programming work, and a reputation for not exactly rounded people (I certainly wasn't one), but many of them were fun and interesting people.

Fast forward a decade, and in my 30s I found the best social avenues ever were through people who ran regular house parties, regular enough that substantial communities formed around them. That was even better than in my 20s at work.

Fast forward another decade, and even ignoring the pandemic, unfortunately it's much harder to meet people in a sociable way. I enjoyed technical Meetups prior to the pandemic but that doesn't lead to the same kinds of social relationships as house parties with hot tubs do.

How to enjoy a career when I hate working with other people
I work as a quantitative researcher at a hedge fund in europe. Although I have never been truly satisfied with my career, the last year has been better for me as I've been allowed to work from home. The lockdown has really made me realise how much I hate the daily grind and I'm looking for a way out.

I've been asking myself why I hate my job so much and have come to the conclusion that it's not the work itself that I hate - it's the idea of working with other people. I'm an introvert. I hate group meetings. I hate having to verbalise what I'm working on. I hate getting into arguments with people about which is the best way of doing things. I hate working with lazy people. And I hate being accountable to someone else. That being said, I could work with one other person max. As soon as it goes over that I can't deal effectively with a group.

Is there any hope for someone like me or am I doomed to being miserable forever unless I become self-employed?
> If you think about it, movies are made this way. Scenes are shot out of temporal order, multiple times, and different bits are picked from this camera and that camera. Without examining the analogy too closely, this is similar to how different git commits might be viewed. Once you have everything in the “can” (repository) you go back and in post-production, you edit and splice everything together to form individual cuts and scenes, sometimes perhaps even doing some digital editing of the resulting product.

Except the end product is a movie, and my end product is software, not a commit history. If you want to draw an analogy to movies, then rebasing your history would be like movies throwing out raw camera footage because they have the end product. They keep all of the raw footage. They do not throw it out by "rebasing".
It's more like they run into me here, depending on the time of the year even on my balconies, because they like what's in the bird feeders. They are all over around here, though urban, it's at the edge of town, many trees, large gardens, parks, allotment gardens/parcels, and so on.

They don't disclose exactly what they collect. That is the very definition of shady, and grounds enough for a privacy sensitive user to abandon the software. It's not just "crash reporting" as you proclaim.

It's a good set of suggestions, but it doesn't touch on the key problem with "mobile" interfaces - notifications. The core evil (dark design?) of most mobile interfaces to various networks, social or not, is that they can use notifications to get the user into their app. While there's some ability to restrict notifications, there's still not huge support (at least that I know of... maybe it exists and I've missed it?) for levels of notification by default. You can go and turn some options off in an app, if it supports it, but in general, there are tiers of notifications.

High priority is "The world is on fire." Be it your pager for work, or, more often in my case, "The hill I live on is on fire, again...", these are the things a mobile device is useful for. I'd argue that phone calls serve this purpose currently, because the cell network has made calls suck for everything else with latency...

Most of the person to person communications (outside group chats) tends to fall into the "Important, but not immediate" category. This is what I tend to use my phone for, so my notifications are around this.

Then there's the clutter of other notifications ranging from "Oh, hey, you got more spam email!" to "Please come check into our app again, we miss your eyeballs on our ads!" These are fairly unimportant and probably shouldn't exist, in most cases. But most of them are low priority.

I'd like to be able to set things up so that notifications are batched over some period of time, instead of being immediate (unless it's high priority - if my wife is sending me a picture of A or B at the store, I need to respond to that quickly enough). But for other stuff, I'd love to see batched notifications on an hourly, or perhaps even daily basis.

I simulate this on my devices by largely running "pull" instead of "push" for almost everything - outside direction communication from people, which is what I use my phone for, I have notifications turned off. I check my email often enough mostly that I don't need notifications for my primary account (it's not for anything time sensitive so if I check once or twice a day this is fine), though it does lead to some priority inversions in that infrequently used accounts actually do send prompt notifications. I don't have a way to queue these for once a day or something and still get notifications, and I tend to fail to check them otherwise.

If you allow your devices to go back to "pull mode" instead of "push mode," you remove a lot of the evils of most of the applications in terms of attention vampire effects.

But a more flexible notification system would be really, really useful.
