I have found Isabelle very useful, and Dafny even more so. Amazon AWS uses Dafny to prove the correctness of some complex components. Then, they extract verified Java code. There are other target languages. Being based on Hoare logic, Dafny

I don't think this is the real problem. In R and Julia tables are great, and they are libraries. The key is that these languages are very expressive and malleable. Simplifying a lot, R is heavily inspired by Scheme, with some lazy eval

It does have a lively ecosystem in some niches. Formal verification is one of them. For example, https://opam.ocaml.org/packages/why3 is a little marvel of engineering.

Gadgetbridge has very limited aGPS support, right? Without aGPS updates, any GPS device is going to have terribly long lock times. Ideally, watches should do like Garmin's. Mount as mass storage devices via USB, and let the user downlo

We've done this, and it works. Our setup is to have some agents that synthesize Prolog and other types of symbolic and/or probabilistic models. We then use these models to increase our confidence in LLM reasoning and iterate if th

It's disappointing. It reinforces the cliché that most hardware companies don't understand software. The GPR-B1000 was promising, as it signaled Casio might be heading towards making watches with advanced features like GPS, yet a

The advantage of small purpose-specific models is that they might be much more robust i.e., unlikely to generate wrong sequences for your particular domain. That is at least my experience working on this topic during 2025. And, obviously, s

Mac laptop hardware is objectively better, but I am on the same camp as the parent post. For most development workflows, Linux is my favorite option. In particular, I think NixOS and the convenience of x86_64 is usually worth the energy eff

Zoho is interesting in the sense that it is one of the few email providers I know of that lets you use a custom domain with one of their free plans. Very startup friendly. Also free POP/IMAP, so you are not locked in.

What kind of library stack do you use? Julia has lots of interesting niche libraries for online inference, e.g. Gen.jl, which can be quite relevant for a hedge fund. If you can't talk about library stacks, it'd be at least interes

This is a very interesting area of research. I did something similar a couple of years ago using logic and probabilistic logic inference engines to make sure conclusions followed from premises. I also used agents to synthesize, formalize, a
