I always find it funny how well coastal Americans diagnose the maladies that plague America while at the same time thinking they only infect inland Americans. Case in point: America is a racist country. But the racial quotas in Ivy League U

This was a question I gave as a post grad TA to third year physics students. In three classes totaling 43 students exactly one got it right and he was a double major from CS. This is Latex, it renders nicely to: https://arachnoid

And yet, give them something as innocuous as $$ \frac{\frac{a}{b}}{c \times \frac{d}{\frac{e}{f}}} \times \frac{\frac{g}{h \times \frac{i}{j}}}{k} $$ And watch 98% of them fail to bring it to normal for a simple fraction.

The issue is there to verify a program you need to have a spec. To generate a spec you need to solve the general problem. This is what gets swept under the rug whenever formal methods are brought up.

The same is true of computers, in fact it has been mathematically proven that it is impossible to answer the general question if a computer program is correct. But that hasn't stopped the last 40 years from happening because computers

The USSR was a totalitarian hell hole which had nothing to do with what communism was supposed to be. It was still better than what happened to the USSR between 1993 and 2000 when the West won the cold war and dictated surrender terms.
