Hypothesis: an LLM capable of generating a correct proof in a formal language, not through random chance but through whatever passes for “reasoning,” should also be capable of describing the proof in a way meaningful to humans. Because LLMs have a limited context window and are trained on human behavior, they will generate solutions similar to what humans would generate.

We have already accepted some proofs we cannot fully understand, such as the proof of the four color theorem that used computational methods to explore a large solution space and demonstrate that no possible special-case combinations violate the theorem. But that was just one part of the proof.

I wonder what we know about proof space generally, and if we had an ASI that reasoned in a substantially different way than humans, what types of proofs it would be likely to generate. Do most proofs contain structural components that humans find pleasing? Do most devolve into convoluted case analyses? Is there a simplest form that a set of correct proofs could be reduced to?
I see your opinion but the fact that some people interpret things as they like doesn't mean the research should be stopped.

>To the people this is trying to convince, this will - rightfully - look like smartassery and dissembling.

If you assume they're trying to convince adults, sure. But instead, I think they're trying to convince low-level policy-makers. Educational professionals, mid-level bureaucrats, etc. And convincing those people are easy, they're already sold on this. Why do they want to convince them? Because those are the people who can indoctrinate. Not just school teachers... the bureaucracy is astounding in how well it works towards this end. Someone will need to navigate red tape, and they will be given very obvious hints that to fail to pay lip service to this narrative risks that which they want most from the bureaucracy.

From there, then people who hold contradictory opinions will start shutting up in all government offices, lest HR do its thing. And the final part is where the private sector starts imitating government because it knows which way the wind blows.

Martha Movie Review: A hard-working perfectionist who got unlucky
Why not both? In my career, I have met countless people who are experts in programming in general, but with relatively modest skills in database systems.

Which is fine! It's really hard to be truly expert in both. There's a reason why "programmer" and "database administrator" used to be two different professions. I'd like to think that I'm better than your average developer at flogging RDBMSes, but most DBAs I've worked with can still run circles around me when it comes to information modeling and database & query optimization.

As far as I can tell the show only got made because Netflix specifically developed it and funded it.

Of course it is “Korean” in that the employees and actors are all Korean, but the show seems to be entirely funded by Netflix. Which means Netflix obviously had a say in the content.
Doesn’t that conflict with Oracles brand?
IMO it was less a cliffhanger and more a hard cut
The representation would be _the_ runtime representation of those types - in the same way as TypeScript objects are just JavaScript objects with static analysis. The choice of representation is a matter of performance and statically-typed languages usually choose to compile every type to custom representation simply because it makes things more efficient, not because they have to. Unless you implement some baked-in reflection mechanism, there isn't really anything that ties runtime representation to its type, which is a compile-time concept.

The other problem is ensuring that such casting is safe, but that requires runtime checking even in dynamically typed languages.

PyPy's difficulty with invoking native code is not because of its tracing JIT but because the CPython C API makes it very hard to deviate from _any_ CPython implementation details, including e.g. choice of memory management and precise layout of objects in memory.

Moon - Private sanctuary for thoughts, captured in video and audio
Moon is being crafted to help you reflect and record your thoughts in the most personal way imaginable—by speaking to yourself. It offers a secure space to process, preserve, and revisit your internal monologues through private video and audio recordings.

Inspired by iconic space-based sci-fi movies, Moon draws from the concept of captain’s logs and personal diaries. Like those moments of clarity, chaos, and discovery, Moon provides a modern platform to capture the raw essence of your thoughts.

Powered by on-device AI, Moon offers subtle insights into your reflections—like recurring themes or emotional patterns—while keeping your data completely private and secure.

Still in development, we’d love to hear your thoughts! What do you think of this concept? Would you use an app like this? Your feedback could make all the difference as we continue building Moon.

That is true in some cases, but not Squid Game, which was specially produced by Netflix.
Personally I don't think there is such a thing as "creatives". All humans are creative - that's what we do, we solve problems by coming up with solutions. Whether that is to create a painting, or coming up with a joke/punchline or writing a novel, or creating a product with code - that's a matter of aptitude/interest and environmental exposure.

> Last time I had an Apple device the only way to backup was plugging it into a desktop with iTunes.

That hasn’t been true since 2011 with iOS 5.

I remember it well. I upgraded my iPhone 4 on AT&T with iOS 5 using iTunes. Shortly afterwards, I had an iPhone 4s shipped to me from Verizon.

I logged into my Apple account on my iPhone 4s and after it restored everything, it looked and worked just like my iPhone 4 with all of the settings and app icon positions bring in the same place.

I agree.

But this is the society we live in now. We don’t live in one where we take care of those whose jobs have been displaced.

I wish we did. But we don’t. So it’s hard for me to feel quite as excited these days for the next thing that will make the world worse for so many people, even if it is a technological marvel.

Just between trucking and rideshare drivers we’re talking over 10 million people. Maybe this will be the straw that breaks the camel’s back and finally gets us to take better care of our neighbors.

I'm not sure if this is meant to be read as "uppercase (letters and numbers)", but it is effectively what he's referring to.

Lowercase digits do exist[1], but there's no Unicode encoding for them and fonts typically have to choose to support one or the other.

Honestly, at this point I just wish SQL servers supported proper discriminated union types and nullable columns were implemented as some kind of MaybeKnown<T> and I could just have a normal Maybe<T> with normal equality semantics if I wanted.

SQL needs to join 21st century type systems... or needs to get replaced altogether. SQL is the FORTRAN of relational programming languages, but hangs around because every time somebody tries to replace it they throw the relational-theory baby out with the bath-water.

Then again, even an 'elegant' proof can be surprisingly inflexible. I've recently been working through Apéry's proof that ζ(3) is irrational. It's so simple that even a clueless dabbler like me can understand all the details. Yet no one has been able to make his construction work directly for anything else (that hasn't already been proven irrational). C'est la vie, I suppose.
For me, what is more common is the likelihood of doing something in the wrong environment (e.g. lab, dev, stage, prod). To help make things a bit more clear, our images now override the PS1 with a `(environment)` at the beginning, which is a different color, lab=green, dev=purple, prod=red. If it saves me once, it was worth it.

I'd say pay very close attention to who does what, literally write it down, what people say they do, what you observe them doing. Try to make no impact, as close to zero as possible. Two weeks later try again to assess who does what. Does it agree. Who changed? Why do you think something is different, why did some things stay the same? Repeat. You will naturally come into contact with most important people trying to get access to everything, where does it go fast, where does it go slow? Who didn't you come in contact with? Who gives bad information? Who gives useless information? Who gives good information, where is their source? Now based on that information you can try to suss out the overall dynamic and form a theory of impact. What are you trying to impact? Do you want to do the things you apparently need to do to make that impact? What is your exit plan if you find yourself in bad positions? What kind of bad positions can you imagine being put in, how do you today wish to see yourself handle it?

My point is that I rarely don't regret (for my careers sake) jumping in and delivering (obvious to me heh heh) value right away because I see the code I see where it ought to be and the new boss is really eager to see somethin, but I'm steamrolling toes and throwing elbows in eyes that I was entirely unaware of. I guarantee the people you will work with do not see you as a senior for some time, any misstep is a case against your status, its better to move slowly and thoughtfully with regard to politics than try to lightning strike some progress in the hopes it gets noticed 3 levels above you (they don't give one shit you already shot your wad can you do it again? and again? and again?)
They can't even have a tiny fraction of the world's books. Each edition of the book gets a new ISBN... if a book is released as a paperback, hardback, kindle edition, pdf, and epub then there are supposed to be five ISBNs.

The vast, vast majority have only been released as dead-tree versions. They have none of those. The books they scan may have an ISBN, but the scans do not have them. Like all Project Gutenberg books, their books have no ISBNs at all. From a strict point of view, they've released new editions of these books.

Hack Clubber here :)

I love Hack Club because it's truly one of the most radically kind & creative spaces on the internet. Before I found Hack Club, programming felt very solitary to me. It didn't really feel like it's something I could do with other people, yet alone myself. But since then I've found community, made friends, and pushed myself to build things I never knew I could make. Along the way, I've got to attend crazy hackathons like Outernet (which we ran on a campground in VT), and got to organize Canada's largest & biggest high school hackathon back in May (https://apocalypse.hackclub.com), and have all sorts of other adventures.

I'm really grateful for Hack Club :)
> You want people to be fine with immigration? Tell them why it is desirable for them personally

This is also problematic. Quite often surveys get results that on average people feel their life is improving and the average is sinking in an alarming way. I doubt Musk feels his income is threatened by an insufficiently Aryan immigrant in Germany.

(If I have to go "give onto him' on X to use facts like Musk is associated with German neo Nazis while he can make up whatever false narrative to power he likes then it seems to me like we have found his real goal. Look up his friend's meeting in Austria.)

WRT frameworks, I think that good frameworks have a staying power: see Spring Boot, Django, Rails, and, well, Express.

When a language evolves as quickly as JS/TS has been past 10 years, fundamentally better ways to do things spring up relatively often. They may be adopted by existing frameworks, or give rise to completely new, legacy-free ones. Sadly, the "legacy-free" tag very often comes with the "nor battle-tested, here be dragons" tag.
Then you have both the left and right being in love with cheap labor. Elon Musk might have been making a fool out of himself over his desire to globalize the labor market even further to his own benefit but there's no shortage of people across the political spectrum that love having cheap lawncare, food service, and agricultural workers. It's an addiction that western society seems completely unable to even recognize as a problem, much less able to kick the addiction.

I use syncthing to sync all my photos and a few other bits and bobs to my local NAS. Works wonderfully.

I also took that setup to allow me to sync some selected media back from the NAS to my phone.

That's kind of interesting that you say that, since multiple characters are raising money due to medical reasons.

Technically it's not debt (treatment hasn't occurred, no money is owed), but medical issues are still a big deal even in countries with more accessible healthcare.
I don't see it that way.

Squid Game is taking advantage of indebted people. It is an evil organization taking advantage of circumstances and human flaws. That is why gambling should be heavily regulated, and that slot machines shouldn't be appearing in convenience stores.

Just because someone self inflict a wound on themselves doesn't make it OK for an organization to make the wound worse.
Wait, that's not crossing your eyes, it's uncrossing them. Ordinarily if you look at something nearby, your eyes aim at a common spot. But when viewing a stereogram, you need to convince your eyes to aim at a spot more distant than the subject.

This is easy with practice, however IMHO it helps to be significantly nearsighted. Then you simply take off your glasses, and can look at something nearby with infinity focus, which is naturally associated with uncrossed eyes.

I don't know whether it's possible to train yourself to diverge your gaze, i.e. stereoscopically see images that are separated more than your pupil distance. Certainly I can't do that.
I'm not sure that this disproves my original point that self driving cars and flying cars don't belong in the same list because they are fundamentally different engineering problems.

> you don't need a verifiable DKIM signature to know if the message had a valid DKIM signature when it was sent.

You seem to be trying to say that "the fact that it was delivered proves it had a valid signature when it was sent".

That presupposes that the headers indicating when it was delivered are correct, or that it was delivered at all in the first place.

I don't think you understand the attack.

I sent Thomas an email admitting to something scandalous.

A few months later, Mallory pops the server Thomas's email is stored on, and extracts his mail spool.

Mallory wants to prove to a third party that the email is authentic and not a fabrication.

I know it's real.

Thomas knows it's real.

Mallory is pretty sure it's real.

Alice, a reporter for the Daily Bugle cannot verify it is real, rather than Mallory's forgery.

I can claim it's a forgery, and point out that Mallory could have made it up and generated the signature with the published key.

Now, I may have a problem if it were a crime rather than something merely scandalous because then Bob, an FBI agent, decides to subpoena some logs and maybe prove when it was sent, but even so, logs typically don't have message content or even a hash of the message content.
>But I think there's a reason that there's a growing sect of people leaving to do everything from farming, woodwork, and even welding

I think that's pretty much entirely because the compensation is good enough that a lot of people can retire by fourty even without having planned for it. Many people in other office jobs find them tedious or get fed up with office politics or whatever but can't reasonably just decide to start farming instead.
