so true

me: ugh god you know how you make plans for friday night but then friday night gets there and you don't want to do it and it feels sooooooo good to cancel?

my liege lord Daimyō Nobunaga (unsheathing katana): even a dog understands loyalty. She whose word is not bond does not deserve to live

that’s a really beautiful theme

yeah i feel like a lot of “types with baggage“ is just some simple case of dependent types

WOOOOOO what is it :0

best of luck!

part of my resentment towards LLMs is to do with them crowding out anything else we could be talking about. there are so many things I could be reading to get better at my craft but I'm presented with "you should actually get worse at it on purpose because nothing matters any more"

kinda wild he was talking about verification at an algorithms and architecture conference though

actually I was at SPAA last week and one of the keynote talks was a professor talking about how LLMs were going to be the future of coding and how it's really important to work on verification for LLM generated code 💀

Didn’t want to believe this was true. It’s true.

congratulations !!!!

meant to say smt queries not set sorry

pulse: fstar-lang.org/tutorial/boo...

they also do some stuff with eliminating quantifiers (but I think that may be standard?)

okay so ive been thinking about this a bit more and one thing that is interesting is that pulse allows for introspection when writing proofs by having very targeted set queries, rather than discharging proof obligations all at once. idk if this is something that you looked at but maybe interesting ?

I see I see, makes a lot of sense!!

something I thought was interesting was that the guards that you mention already exist in verus :0 they have a pretty neat trigger system that they expose in the language which prevents a lot of the stability issues mentioned here. might be something to look at?

but why even accept that you HAVE to get mediocre output? this is one thing i never understood with vibe coding, like why not get it right the first time? why not actually put in the time and effort to make it good. if it’s something you want to make shouldn’t it be something you’re proud of?

A guide to programming paradigms:
Imperative: functions can have side effects
Functional: functions must be pure
Reversible: functions must be pure and bijective
Analytic: functions must be pure, bijective and infinitely differentiable
Agile: functions must take part in daily standups
