This is NOT a formal job posting, just testing waters. I have a year of post-doc money. Esp. int'd in formal methods + applied cogsci + diagramming. If you do work tied to my research, reach out (see my page). Must have US work auth, sorry. Please feel free to share/boost!

I feel like this product is dead on arrival because the type of person who would use such a product is the same person who would find a faithful reproduction of Jesus based on scripture very frustrating.

To be fair I can’t do math either and my wife says I’m largely sentient.

As a side effect maybe we should stick to refinement as much as possible when we’re talking about equivalence for the sake of clarity / avoiding ambiguity

As far as I can tell all of the responses so far can be interpreted as instantiations of the “less detail” intuition which is a useful contrast to what we mean when we say abstraction in terms of equivalence which is “a superset of important behavior” (vis a vis the refinements subset of behavior)

Honestly this is the approach of the standard abstract + intro + section 2 of well written papers. Basics first and then ugly details which most people can come back to when they need it.

I claim that if you lose them with interesting complexity (eg equations, proofs, deep reasoning) after the intuitive value proposition is conveyed you’ve largely achieved 3

I do feel bad for this person but the apology to Claude has launched me directly into the sun.

I can’t tell if they are repeating the same mistake by assigning too much agency to the LLM or if they are a genius for deflecting responsibility through said assignment of agency?

if you are in a position to act to harden society’s software infrastructure, you too should be very concerned about this and planning what actions you will take over the coming months

I don't think people fully appreciate how apocalyptic things are for US science. I haven't had any new funding since 2024, but I'm still ok since typical grants are for three years. This means next year I will be completely out of funding and will have to fire everyone in the lab. It's not great.

I don’t know Keynes ever heard of surfing but if he did I expect it made the cut for his utopia.

(practically speaking it’s probably best to get out there now before our society implodes from too much utopia 😅)

The NSF budget emerged mostly unscathed from the last rolling CR battle or whatever but what does it matter if they don’t (can’t?) spend it.
