@roboguy20 @joomy @Aron_Adler @alpha_convert Yeah, I can see that working. The next problem would be how to avoid introducing two kinds of ticks (one to increment the fst and another for the snd).

afaik, the CSLib folks are thinking about ways to automate the tick away

[George Zakhour @_typeable]

@joomy @Aron_Adler @alpha_convert CSLib has a monad that "counts" resources (time or memory) that you can prove a bound on.

Figures 3 and 4 of https://t.co/dmEf8DfiwQ have some examples.

Caveat 1: you need to manually label statements to count.
Caveat 2: I suspect it's not possible to do both mem/time together.

@gregnavis @antirez I love it, I visit it daily for the last 6yrs, but I've yet to meet anyone with an account who could invite me.

If it was up to me I would add an "adoption" page where people like me would write about themselves and benevolent users would send them an invite.

@ShriramKMurthi Almost all the slop papers have formulas/text that overflow into the margins.
A giveaway to being real was also the data-availability section some had that linked to a Zenodo artifact with the same title.
I never had to read the content to tell which is which.

@SandMouth Another place where I use these weights is in type inference: inference variables have smaller weights than types, so when I treat a new constraint `x = int`, int is always the root/canonical, so extracting `x -> x` becomes trivial and gives `int -> int`

Anyone whose explanations are more technical than mine is obfuscating with formalism to hide their underlying lack of conceptual clarity.

Anyone whose explanations are less technical than mine is a poseur who has failed to engage with the substantive content of the theory.

I caught an undefined bug in the @ACMDL citation export tool.

Sadly if you search for "Kundefinedhler" on google scholar (with quotes) you'll find many papers citing Kœhler incorrectly :(

@emnode @Anthony_Bonato I remember getting it as a student when I thought of it as "I'll do X when pigs fly". It's something I'd say if I don't want to say something false (I'll do X) so I don't lie.

/someone/ filled a bug report just because hazel let them write this perfectly unobjectionable syntax

Can LLMs actually solve hard math problems? Given the strong performance at AIME, we now go to the next tier: our MathArena team has conducted a detailed evaluation using the recent 2025 USA Math Olympiad. The results are… bad: all models scored less than 5%!

Idea to create a rival podcast to @ttforall that focuses on untyped programming languages like lisp and prolog

It would be called "Judgment Free Zone" and the logo would obviously be (⊬)

"The way I see code, and programming language therefore, is code is about allowing the humans on a team to understand what the product is and what it does. ... I think for the foreseeable future programming is a team sport and code is the interchange format between the players. So I think it's still pretty important." Chris Lattner on why coding by humans is still important.
