@Anthony_Bonato Wouldn’t reflexivity fail to hold whenever the underlying set is non-empty?

[Joshua Grosso @JoshuaGrosso]

@JDHamkins Silly question: Should “nicht” instead be “kein”?

[Joshua Grosso @JoshuaGrosso]

in which Google Translate* hallucinates an entire clause (everything between the em dashes, ironically enough)

*in the Gemini-based "Advanced" mode—going back to Classic mode fixes it

@aspiwack I gotta say, it took me a second to decipher "ftska", which makes me wonder how (in)comprehensible it would be to *always* omit devoiced consonants in rōmaji

Like, "shtemas" just looks extraordinarily cursed

[Joshua Grosso @JoshuaGrosso]

@aspiwack みんなのskiな食べ物、ssh

(I recall reading that devoicing is generally avoided in adjacent syllables and that it’s further penalized between sibilants or something like that, so I admit this is highly artificial)

@snoyberg (Sorry if I ended up preaching at you as some online rando*, this is just something that I've been thinking about a lot lately!)

*IIRC we briefly met at LambdaConf 2017, at the speaker's dinner—my 17yo self was hyped even just to shake hands with a titan of the Haskell world :-)

@snoyberg It’s the very fact that I *have* been permanently set free which should encourage a Christian like myself to follow God and His commands. It should flow from gratitude (and a transformed spirit), rather than a sword of Damocles–style compulsion. For I have been set free! (10/10)

Information flow is central to security & many other forms of reasoning. But information flow types can be complex in practice. At OOPSLA, Hemant presented a new foundation for information flow types: "Structural Information Flow: A Fresh Look at Types for Non-Interference"

@JDHamkins I picked this up at Caltech, of all places—when I first got to CMU, I had to put some conscious effort into always putting quantifiers at the front….

[Daniel Litt @littmath]

the best way to understand the Yoneda lemma is to think about how it relates to every other result in mathematics

[Type Theory Forall @ttforall]

Seems like Tao is actually pretty serious about using Lean these days. He's even making youtube videos using it now.

This is really exciting.
