My cousin
who is young and angry
tells me at this point
she is waiting for the crash,
she is hoping for the crash,
she can only see a better world
built on the wreckage of this one,
so sympathetically
I try to remind her
that many of us
will be buried in that wreckage.

I feel like the brainwashing delivered by our Advanced Functional Programming course has gone pretty well, given two students turned up to the exam with Agda T-shirts.

@MartinEscardo
I had a question about univalent mathematics and I was told you'd be the one to ask. I hope you don't mind

Reading the HoTT book I noticed that they defined universes to be cumulative. This surprised me because in theorem provers such as Lean and allegedly Agda (I was told), this is not the case. In the book itself they mention a downside of having cumulative universes being that a term no longer has a unique type, but they don't mention any advantages of constructing them this way.

Therefore, my question is: what is the advantage of having cumulative type universes?

When Signal was designed, our threat model was protecting the communications of civil society, journalists, just regular citizens ...

The threat model of military operations & sharing your hate of Europeans was not what Signal was designed for. Ephemeral messages and cryptographic deniability are not fit for communications that require accountability.
But I appreciate their effort to make government more efficient by adding journalists to the chat instead of requiring to go through FOIA.

Should you wish to find a permanent (tenured) research position in France.

It's now too late to apply to the 2025 positions at CNRS or INRIA, but it may be a good idea to start chatting with groups about a 2026 application.

Dear American friends, I know for a fact that many of you were as horrified as I was over the shameless display BLOATUS put on in the Oval Office yesterday.
I decided this morning that rather than seethe about it, I'd do something meaningful with my anger.
Below is the URL of Ukraine's official fundraising page. Maybe you could chip in a small amount, and/or give this a boost to spread the word? Thanks, and remember, there's still many more of us than of them!
