Classifying dense matrix multiplication and autoregression as a munition is equally as dumb as when PGP was classified as one

Clearly there are people who enjoy the slop though, otherwise it would simply get no engagement and then get hidden by the algo like 99.99% of YT videos

I do think this is true but I think it also reflects negatively on the general populace that this new technology is evaluated in terms of the negative effects on their consumption pattens Transformer models solved the Protein Folding prob

I think a lot of what's underlying this is just a big difference in general societal optimism/pessimism In polls 80-90% of Chinese say their country/govt is headed in a positive direction vs <30% in US

For columnar databases, I love Vortex' Dtypes which lets you attach semantic context in a logical type to what is essentially compressed Arrow https://docs.vortex.dev/concepts/dtypes#logical-types

Yeah I really dislike that you need neovim or VS to benefit from Infoview Haven't tried it but there's this community-made REPL https://github.com/leanprover-community/repl

Amit Patel's website is so good, some of the best explanations of concepts like pathfinding, perlin noise etc https://www.redblobgames.com/

This is not remotely true, it was designed as a general purpose functional programming language and the adoption by mathematicians only came later with the creation of Mathlib. It's not a DSL but has very powerful metaprogramming capab

I don't think issues like syntax and schema compliance are the level of problems where verification comes into play In this case it's more that the underlying declarative systems function as they should across any possible states

I think the gap is real and for it to be resolved, the spec language needs to be elevated to a source of truth and possibly do some degree of codegen, which is currently not well realized with Lean The analogy I'd make is to the idea o

I'd love to hear more about your workflow engine, I think the expressiveness of lean and the type system makes it extremely well suited for stuff like that I do agree that the lack of IO and libs in lean isn't really a drawback wh

This is valid and my take is that domain modelling becomes extremely important in this context More then theorem proving what attracts to Lean is that it's type system is insanely powerful, indexed dependant inductive and quotient type

This is really cool, I've been getting more interested in Lisp/Scheme as config languages so I'll give it a try

Bullshit. Domen is super legit and an incredible dev. I use his tools daily and nothing he does can be described as slop

I feel very strongly the first party harnesses don't make sense when essentially every month the Pareto frontier changes as new models get released I want to use the same consistent working surface across models in the same way I want

When it's a fast moving field that alleges to produce "AGI" and there are 8 near-identical options I'd argue it merits more innovation tokens

You're conflating 2 separate issues, plugin architecture is a valid choice for reasons that don't have to do with community plugins at all

I think Lovable is a very dumb product and that virtually anyone of any level of technical knowhow would be better served by using normal agents or perhaps Replit The fact that "1.2M projects" are made weekly yet seemingly none of

Gemini has gotten wildly worse in recent time, almost incapable of answering a question without a search, lengthy "thinking time" for trivial questions that no doubt is intended to mask waiting for inference resources

It's less that the error messages are just "good" with Rust, it's that more stuff gets caught at comptime, and many of them can be autoremediated by cargo fix or the compiler itself says exactly what should be changed. N
