Lean is a currently-niche programming language / proof-assistant. A proof assistant is basically a tool to construct mathematical proofs, which verifies that the proofs are correct like how a compiler verifies types in your programs. I

Way before @noamraph put it up on in pypi it was internally available in our company. To my knowledge he didn't yet make it 30 years ago, but if he did then probably at least not for Python!

Facebook runs a lot more political ads than Google and it’s commercial ads that are halting.

Do folks generally keep with the regular secrecy in this situation? (regarding ANA's "More than 50 years ago, the FDA approved a drug. Today, we’re evaluating that drug as a treatment for COVID-19")

Imho her blog is a valuable resource. Can be used to point out "here's what could happen if you do X" in specific cases and in general as "here are a lot of examples for why things should be done in a non-messy way"

Is there any other plausible explanation?

> exceptionally good education. Is that so?! I’m an Israeli and I assumed that it’s the really bad education that is responsible for stronger skepticism and Chutzpah.

In the example it is called "NonEmpty". There's the "Stream" nominal type, shown below in Haskell-like text syntax: newtype Stream a = () -> (Empty | NonEmpty { head :: a, tail :: Stream a }) To construct

It's not a known color scheme. For a while we had an ugly color theme, and then I sat with a designer friend and we fixed it. I agree that it's pretty now :) Apparently colors needed to have consistent saturation levels and stuff.

But the context is that the tooling does type it for you.

I think that you and Peaker are merely interpreting the term "blindly manipulating symbols" differently. Here's an explanation of what the term means: http://blog.absentdesign.com/2013/05/blindly-man

It's a custom one that we made for Lamdu using GLFW and OpenGL (via [graphics-drawingcombinators]( https://hackage.haskell.org/package/graphics-drawingcombinat... ). It's been clear to us that we need animation

It is using OpenGL indirectly via the graphics-drawingcombinators library ( http://hackage.haskell.org/package/graphics-drawingcombinato... ). Indeed the fonts may not be as pretty as with Cairo etc but on the other hand

I don't think that I am confusing things with value, but perhaps I did not explain my meaning well enough. The problem with cheap AI and robots is not that people will not want to create things for each other and do stuff - sure they will s

by yairchu 14y ago
That's because we haven't yet produced a general-purpose quality AI which can do everything humans can do and more cost effectively than they do it. But when this happens, pretty much everything, even creative work like graphical design -

They can't, because the people who own the robots also own a robotic police force. Two years ago when Mubarak told the Egyptian army to spray protestors with bullets, and the soldiers refused. That's because he didn't have a robotic force.

You are correct, Nobel prizes are not awarded to the dead, unless they die just after announcing the prize and before the ceremony ( http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/2011/oct/03/nobel-prize-aw... ). Gandhi was denied the prize for this rea

Doesn't it cause a "Javascript eval injection" vulnerability? I don't know Javascript so I may be wrong here, but: * Suppose someone uses this library to create a "MariaSQL Explorer App", where you give the app connection credentials and it
