I've always thought theorem proving to be about proving equality of the function and the result.

Lean to me is not only obscure but unapproachable by someone from a non-mathematical background.

Take this snippet for instance

theorem nat.add_comm : ∀ (n m : ℕ), n + m = m + n :=
λ (n m : ℕ),
nat.brec_on m
(λ (m : ℕ) (_F : nat.below (λ (m : ℕ), ∀ (n : ℕ), n + m = m + n) m) (n : ℕ),
nat.cases_on m
(λ (_F : nat.below (λ (m : ℕ), ∀ (n : ℕ), n + m = m + n) 0),
id_rhs (n + 0 = 0 + n) (eq.symm (nat.zero_add n)))
(λ (m : ℕ) (_F : nat.below (λ (m : ℕ), ∀ (n : ℕ), n + m = m + n) (nat.succ m)),
id_rhs (n + (m + 1) = nat.succ m + n) (eq.symm (nat.succ_add m n) ▸ congr_arg nat.succ (_F.fst.fst n)))
_F)
n

If we want to democratise formal methods and theorem proving, we should lean towards natural language expressions of proof and not mathematical expressions and greek characters.

This is the path that languages such as Idris https://www.idris-lang.org/ have taken

Writing programs requires an education. You can sort of fake it with training, if you're a machine that can train on a billion examples and reliably retain something from each one, without understanding any of them.
The real problem with 4 is that OpenAI are having trouble keeping up with the demand.

> There are plenty of people who cannot admit they don’t know something and will just spout bullshit. We call them “bullshitters”, not “liars.”

> It’s important because of motive. A lie is told with intent to conceal a known truth. It’s not just LLM agency that’s in question, it’s human malice.

That is not a distinction that matters to me with humans or AI. "Bullshitting" is just a specific form of lying. "Lying" doesn't imply malice to me. But a lack of malice is fairly irrelevant: mostly when people say they didn't intend any harm by lying, it's true, but it's just a way to minimize the fact that they lied. Intent is not as important as you seem to think it is: intent has little to do with how much harm is caused by a lie.

Intent is particularly irrelevant with AI, because AI doesn't have intent. Contrary to your statement, LLM agency isn't in question: we know AI does not have agency.

> Co-opting the term “lie” is a rhetorical tool used to shift the conversation from “this person/LLM is saying things that aren’t true” to “this person/LLM is acting maliciously and needs to be punished/sanctioned”

That's a pretty big leap. I'm not saying that AI should be punished or sanctioned. In fact, I'm not even sure what it would mean to "punish" something that can't experience suffering. What I want isn't to punish/sanction AI, what I want is for people to not trust AI.
IMHO Palm was killed by endless M&A activity and other finance shenanigans, which resulted in a lack of long term focus and stability to migrate from the original cramped architecture.

Flatcar is a host OS to run containers. It is not a base OS to build containers.
At least in NYC, nearly all of these have corresponding taxes, levies, or outright bans. For example, the city charges additional taxes against both taxi operators and riders to compensate the public for the congestion they induce[1].

Similarly, 53’ trailers are outright illegal in NYC (because they destroy the road surface, as you mentioned, and can’t navigate the city safety). Enforcement is currently poor, however.

The point is this: using city streets to trial-run experimental technology is something new and distinct, and it isn’t immediately clear to me why the public shouldn’t be compensated for the bother.

My company does periodic refreshes of laptops, and we get an option of a Windows PC or a Mac. I do most of my development on cloud-hosted dev boxes, and minimal "local" development (though I do most of my code-reading locally).

The primary reason I switched to selecting a Mac is that it is extremely quiet. The fans rarely turn on in the M1 MBP. There's no coil whine. Back while I was working in the open-plan office, I woudn't notice the noise from the machine next to me over the generally loud office environment with its air handling, people walking by, etc. But while working from home, the near constant fan noise from the Windows machine randomly spiking the CPU to 100% was maddening.

Next time I replace my personal laptop (XPS 13 9370), I'm strongly considering getting a Macbook Air. I really appreciate having a completely silent machine.
Yeah, I get that. I think I'm more bothered by the gross sweeping generalization that not a single individual would be convinced by him. I'm guessing you probably found a bit of an aversion to those kind of simplifications in your faith-shedding process too.
>But the Apple II is mostly so iconic compared to other systems of the general era because Apple as a whole became so iconic.

I don't disagree that had Apple gone bankrupt in 1997, there wouldn't be as much Apple II nostalgia today. But it's not true that Apple's iconic status is a modern-day phenomenon. From the very beginning, Apple had the je ne sais quoi that its rivals didn't, and I say that one who did not own an Apple II. Read this 1984 BYTE piece <https://archive.org/stream/byte-magazine-1984-12/1984_12_BYT...>, for instance.

Looking back, it's some combination of

* Jobs and Woz being the symbols of the company

* VisiCalc

* Disk II

* the slots

* color

* the focus on industrial design

That special something is what made Mac work. No other company in 1984 could have released a non IBM PC-compatible computer and had it go anywhere in the market, or inspire substantial third-party support from large vendors. Atari and Commodore followed only a year later, with superior hardware, and failed.

I’m the tech guy in my circle and despite my wishes most of my friends and family get the standard 8GB models. Beside one friend that had a crazy memory link, most of them don’t bat an eye. If Safari, Word, and Excel open they don’t mind too much.

8GB is fine at the moment on MacOS. The standard is still 8gb for most non-performance laptops and there are legions and legions of corporate HPs and Dells with 8GBs.

Build a ventilation system for your soldering area, it's more than worth it if you're going to be doing much soldering (and is also useful for many other purposes). The best option is a fan connected to vent tubing leading outside, I doubt 'smoke extractors' are that effective, e.g.

In short it’s called a call stack - returned value (not the variable) is what is left of the function for the “outer” function.

We also know how neurons work, interconnect, and communicate.

Occidental Plans to Suck Carbon from the Air–So It Can Keep Pumping Oil
The death of the mathematics I knew
If you could dock a phone and use it with a keyboard, mouse, and monitor, and it had all the software you used, whorls you still be worried? Microsoft did this with Continuum in windows phone 10, and iPadOS is trying to grow up to support more multitasking and a keyboard+mouse. It’s not too far of a leap that the iPhone could do the same thing. This would also be a lot cheaper than also purchasing a laptop.
I’m still using a 15” MBP from 2012 for my personal computer! Waiting to see if a 15” MacBook Air gets released soon, as per the rumors.
The typical Mac owner was not buying a new machine every year or 2 before this either. I'd bet most people were using them for 5+ years for quite a while before this.

I bought a late-2013 13" MBP when starting university in 2014, used it all the way through to graduation, and didn't upgrade from it until the 14-inch Pro came out in 2021. Even then, it was still a passable machine for a lot of non-demanding workloads, but it no longer had software support and I'm a nerd that wanted to try the fancy new Apple Silicon for myself. I think my sister got like 8 or so years out of her 2010 MBP as well.

Macs have had good, long lifespans before this too (with exceptions for some budget configurations that were questionable value at the time of purchase)

The rate cards we use are tied to market rates. Consulting (and services businesses in general) aren't super-profitable.

I think probably you're just pulling numbers out of thin air.

Now if you think that the value of consultants is overrated, I tend to agree with you in some - but not all - cases. As an example, it makes little sense to hire FTEs for a short term project that has to happen on a discrete timeline.
I'd argue the [US] federal government has failed at all levels of utility based on the amount of funds it consumes.
I do most of my back-end development inside WSL (C#/C++, some JS). There's a way to run GUI Linux apps from WSL as well (for example GitKraken which I use on both Windows and from WSL) which is awesome - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/tutorials/gui-....

Docker Desktop on Windows has full support inside WSL and integrates seamlessly i.e. can access running containers on your Win install from WSL without issues etc.

One thing I have to highlight is that you shouldn't do dev from WSL inside windows folders (my main work folders are under WSL's /home). File access is very slow, If you want to do that I think you can go for WSL 1, not 2, but I won't bother honestly. Just use WSL2 and do your work on Linux folders.

For Windows I use PowerToys extensively to bring window layouts and stacking the way I want via FancyZones. It's not exactly like the window tiling managers you'll find on Linux, but it does the job well enough.
The Bing app isn't as responsive as ChatGPT. I asked it a slightly question about my taxes and it "binged" something weird and gave me a non-answer generic response.

I dominated a base-model m1 13" for almost two years, pushing it through startup engineering workflows. It handled everything admirably despite "just" 8gb of ram. I still have it but upgraded to the 16" for the bigger viewport and high refresh rate, but the 13" is no slouch. I could see it having lasted another couple years for my web-dev workflows, although the display size/refresh improvements for the 16" were what I needed.
The linked article's title is pretty open-ended, so I looked at it with just a scintilla of hope that it might include a Graffiti emulator for iOS devices, especially iPad with Apple Pencil. Sadly, no joy.
Working with the healthcare system is like a marriage, it requires 100% from both sides.

I've had friends with relatively common illnesses like high blood pressure just not take care of themselves via diet, medicine, and exercise, then blame the medical system when their conditions got worse.

At the same time I watched my sisters health degrade over years while she fervently tried to do everything possible to make it better and saw many specialists when they said nothing was wrong and she was being a hypochondriac. It was finally after very effectively documenting everything about her condition and keeping it in a binder and keeping daily charts of her vitals, that a doctor stated "You have some very rare condition, now we have to figure out what it is".

Healthcare is deeply personal and individualized at the end of the day. The problem is we don't have the trained doctors and systems to give the level of care needed. And on the other hand, a lot of individuals don't put for one reason or another, the needed work to ensure they have good health outcomes.
Your comment that the rich "siphon that much wealth out of the global financial system" is wrong and is an argument often made by people with limited knowledge of economics. The pie is not fixed.
> In the limit, the market becomes completely detached from reality

One could say this happened anyway in the aftermath of the QE (a.k.a. money printing) response to the '08 crisis.
True, but the point of giving a "value" to 0/0 is to use it somehow.

For example in the context of limits you define a whole lot of number like values like 0+ or 0- that are useful wrt operations on limits.

I was trying to give an example of how ℝ ∪ {Θ} has almost no advantages compared to just ℝ
The ideas are simple and not particularly unique, but sometimes a list of simple but not unique ideas, which many of us already know, but nicely articulated in one place, can spark thought.

A large number of unsoundness bugs only work if you have access to the stdlib, because they're flaws in stdlib types and functions that use `unsafe` internally, and are supposed to present a safe interface around it.

If you a) don't have access to unsafe, and b) don't have access to the stdlib that lets you do powerful things without unsafe, then you're very limited in what you can do.

https://smallcultfollowing.com/babysteps/blog/2016/10/02/obs... discusses this further. Conceptually, you can think of "entirely Safe Rust" to be a very limited language, which you then progressively add "capabilites" to by exposing safe interfaces implemented with unsafe code. For example, Vec and Box (which require unsafe) grant safe code the ability to do heap allocations.

It's true that this is not designed as a security boundary. As I note in my comment above, the PL/Rust devs also make that clear. That doesn't mean it has no value as part of a defence in depth strategy.
Absolutely, most of that is just gone. You have to really misbehave to get kicked out (i.e. violent crime against neighbors or constant partying over months will do it, but that's about it), and they're not looking for profit maximization. They'll do modernizations, but rents increase very reasonably, and they're very accommodating around special needs (e.g. for someone who had an accident and ended up in a wheelchair, they created a paved path from the parking lot to his balcony where a 1m lift will take him up).

But on a personal level, would you prefer a landlord always looking for ways to raise rents, or a paranoid drunk guy hammering on your door at 2am accusing you of spying on them and yelling that they'll cut your fingers off? I'd take a rent hike to avoid that.
I think you might be confusing the GPT software (a generative pre trained transformer) with the finished product, an LLM (large language model.)

A GPT has no training until you give it materials. I do believe Google released the code for theirs ages ago. Even without source, you can run a GPT against your own data locally, or on a cloud service setup for that purpose.

This is how Bloomberg, for example, created a financial LLM. They used a GPT to train on their own financial data.

where do you get the claim $1 produces more than $1 in tax reduction? every company looks to lower their tax liabilities. if they make charitable donations, they can use that as a deduction towards that goal. so they can not do the donations and loose out on a deduction, or they can do it without affecting their profits from sales because customers are giving them extra for the purpose.
Their thesis is based on measuring productivity as patents filed. If I remember correctly, there was like a six month period in Google's history where they decided to care about filing for patents. If WSJ focused on that time period, then big tech productivity would be like a supernova.
