The "small amounts is cardioprotective" is most likely false, the new recommendation simply reflects this. I recall reading about this in research more than 10 years ago. (Sorry for not citing, I'm on mobile rn)

Yes, the point is that the user only has to write an interpreter, not a compiler, the compiler is automatically generated. See also GraalVM's Truffle interpreter or Souffle Datalog.

Futamura projection is an entirely standard concept in staged compilation. The hand-wringing is unwarranted.

What you say is kind of interesting but I get the impression that we are talking past each other. id(X): ==(X, rec_0(0, X)) Sorry, what's this supposed mean, is it a definition? The propositional equality type has two or three argument

A type system cannot be TC. What you seem to talk about, is that if a type checker can simulate arbitrary TM's through an encoding of its input, then the type checker is necessarily non-total. This is correct. But the Idris checker i

I don't see that "normalization implies consistency", which I'm aware of, relates to my previous comment in any relevant way. ZFC and MLTT do not differ in that decidability of proof validity is not related to logical ex

Incorrect. Whether the language as a logic is capable of expressing undecidable statements, is orthogonal to whether type checking is decidable. Type checking is analogous to checking proof validity in logics. Commonly used proof systems fo

OpenAI should have never been open, named "OpenAI", or advertised itself as being open. At the time of OpenAI's inception, much of the AI risk community deemed it as harmful, although that wasn't spoken out a lot, becaus

This tutorial seems to miss the level-based generalization optimization, which is crucial for production-strength HM inference. For, that you can look at: http://okmij.org/ftp/ML/generalization.html

Usually it's not possible to form such a predicate. If we have impredicative base universe, then it's possible to form a predicate over all types in the base universe (which may or may not be all types in the language), includin

Immutability is an implementation detail with no inherent value. What we actually care about is referential transparency, encapsulation & tracking of effects, performance, abstraction, thread/type/memory safety, etc. The State

I agree that storing a reference besides an Entry is probably safer than #touch. It's also similar to arrays slices, where we store reference to the array itself + offsets. The ST-like region typing can be still useful though, because

You need something which decreases on each step. You could try to recurse on the number of unvisited nodes in the graph. You can try well-founded recursion if this does not work for some reason.

Awful comment. The OP, while not pedagogically ideal, demonstrates proof writing along the Curry-Howard correspondence, an extremely deep topic which predates popular functional programming and OOP by decades. To liken this to "tool fe

Within EU, immediate local demand is barely relevant compared to labor and manufacturing conditions, for setting up a factory. A Tesla factory in Germany will obviously supply at least the whole EU.

The only feasible way to have cars and trucks in a zero-net-emission economy is to make them electric. Unless you want to scrap all cars and trucks, the electric versions must eventually be developed and mass-produced.
