i'm happy that leo de moura speaks like a competent and deeply interesting computer scientist with incredible knowledge of his field. it's such a shame that he seems to have completely given up on writing a single word of english ever again. his slides are slop materialized.

when i was growing up my mom used to tell me that one day i'd leave my country, and out there they'd be like me, and accept me, and i could live like myself. -- i am the only black person in recent memory in my 500+ employee office. it's not new, but it's been kind of surreal. crushing, in some way.

Follow up on dataflow soundness: lessons from compcert, featuring opengraph titles which i had forgotten to implement last time.

(this was both too much and also not-enough effort for a low quality shitpost)

any day is a good day to recommend fishmonger by underscores surely your day will be made better by listening to fishmonger by underscores and recommending it to all your friends.

xavier leroy i hope your pillow's warm on both sides tonight

the capability of some professors to mobilize information at the push of a (mental) button will always amaze me. i know it's years of work and dedication, and supposedly you get to a point where it feels attainable (per other grad students around me), but it's always surreal to see happen live.

heartbreaking: the big problem you were bashing your head on was the good problem you should keep bashing your head on. save me CMU lecture notes save me

speaking of random cyberk1d music, do yourself a favor and listen to tsubi club new album Absolutely Mental, super catchy. glad they're back

listening to bladee is crazy because every song is either the most lush soundscape you've ever heard in your life or a random mishmash of sound effects with the dumbest singing ever recorded on it, and the two songs will sound basically the same. true artistry.

i love opening a new lean file and stuff is just broken like wdym you don't know what set is anymore

as promised, the first "real" writeup on my website: on dataflow soundness. looking for all kinds of feedback and input!

job so niche within my department that my new task is "draft a writeup about what you're doing so we can understand you and why you're blocked" i love it here

want to prove soundness need to prove relation validity want to prove relation validity need to break functionality prove relation validity go back to soundness soundness requires functionality are you kidding me

chainsaw man is so fucking goofy I don't think there's a single story beat that lands how it's supposed to and it's great frame composition is CRAZY though. he does some shit with depth of field that makes characters pop it's super fun

writing proofs (documenting my code as proof i understand what i'm doing)

born to do type theory forced to do abstract interpretation when do the horrors end

downloading all of my music and cancelling spotify has done wonders on my listening activity (i may have the weirdest hodge podge of albums downloaded)

had two absolutely disastrous meetings today. got absolutely cooked today.

all is possible through the power of computer

lean feature proposal: allow arbitrary amount of ys in sorry tactic sorryyyyyyy

constructivist propaganda slop (proof as in evidence and not as in argument)

have we done any progress on this btw? lmk

trying to use claude for lean

thought i was done with my task wasn't done with my task 1:1 tomorrow and i need to cram this today bless my chummy bungus life

feeling weezy tonight.

working on an "intro to ITP for computer scientists" blog post and i have done nothing but unpack type theory for the past 6 pages. i think the "practical" in the title is starting to be a bit of a misnomer

toy example but I had to write this code for work and it makes me wish there was an idiomatic way to write all_goals with named cases i thought something like case _ would work but it doesn't, it could be fun to have

DOT sucks

no one has ever been this wrong about anything anywhere actually pioneering work in stupidity

they're banning fun over on the Lean linter

typa shit i'm on

Friday archive rummage time: How’s this for a gorgeous High-Tech shed? ‘Darling, let’s have a romantic weekend break to Brittany where we can marvel at the cherry-red suspended structural steel masts. Just me? Oh, ok…’ 📍Fleetguard Factory, Quimper, Bretagne - Richard Rogers Partnership, 1979-81

so discord sucks and e-mail is old (though still very relevant imo). Is there like a good alternative (that isn't zulip (no one likes a slack))?

there is some sort of correspondence between rice's theorem and parametricity but i am not smart enough to formulate it

went to a café this morning before i catch my train and the couple manning the café just started making fun of my afro behind the counter? not to my face but just miming my hair and laughing to each other germans are so fucking weird if you have to be racist just call me the n word

i don't remember who on here suggested to read Witch Hat Atelier but i think i owe them multiple cold or warm beverages of their choosing, i think it's been a while since i've had this much fun reading manga. it's so cute and the characters are so good and it's so well written and asdjLJWIOajsòdkjAW

about this: i cannot believe that this was done for any reason that isn't "AI agents writing proofs like having more information on the code :)" i understand the idea of flagging this but I would definitely want it to be opt-in. my proofs are not less clear because of an empty line halfway through.

lean4-vscode rolls most annoying linter ever, asked to leave the config

she lean on my theorem 'till i prove she she prove on my theorem 'till i lean? she the on my rem till i rpove

y'all already know what the FUCK going on

in the spirit of sharing cool art i find, if you get the chance please listen to [So Much Country 'Till We Get There(www.discogs.com/release/3623...) by Westside Cowboy. The "britainicana" spirit is so light and punchy that listening to the EP is like listening to your loved ones say they love you.

this 22 year old researcher still does "reasoning programs" the old fashioned way

-- one film a day day 1 -- in un era di palantir, guerre, e decreti sicurezza, non c'è miglior film da vedere che Indagine su un cittadino al di sopra di ogni sospetto (1970). very prescient movie. hits every single talking point of recent years with freakish accuracy.
