RT @miike: I’ve done a lot of formal methods “technical sales” - trying to scope projects for Galois clients that solve their problem and f…

@RadioFreeTom Did you not look at the article? Urgency from Zeke Miller.

@kerckhove_ts Who actually uses an os with weird file paths like that?!

Some day we're going to wonder why "so-and-so got fact checked" was the phrase instead of "they foolishly believed" or "they lied". No one did anything untold to the speaker, the speaker did something to the listeners.

@satnam6502 Gees, I need to attend your lectures!

@4ngerman I was just there, guess I should have said hello.

@graninas @josecalderon Sorry but that was a human generative non-AI tweet for humor. I merely was suggesting we could document something providing refinement types, like or even exactly liquid Haskell, applied to proving properties about free monad functions in the abstract (vs instantiated types).

@TheAtlantic @juliettekayyem The Secret Service “had one job—to protect every major political figure from physical harm—and failed,”@juliettekayyem should have written

Why hasn't anyone built in haybale a simple tool to prove functional equivalence? This seems fun and beneficial, that and supporting more sat solvers.

My Muse mug broke. End of an era.

@veorq A friend of mine had an encryption problem in which the dev team kept modifying the crypto library to encode/decode io (ex hex) instead of doing it at the call site.

@jedisct1 A big problem is many languages make abstractions expensive so that "pays for itself"is a higher bar.

@sclv I tried to do some math to make this look better. Normalize to population, pretend it didn't include inflation. It didn't look good still.

Anthony Scalia must be turning in his grave over the immunity debate.

Opposing unpopular opinion: final binaries should be automatically formally verified for properties of interest.

Shower thought: could something like CryptoBap (on steroids) have detected the vulnerability in the ssh binary resulting from the xz attack?

@4ngerman Fifteen years ago I argued for c2hs to be the community focus because of hsc2hs cross compilation issues. This was when making Linux kernel modules in Haskell.

Since no news source cares to say: Oregon HB4002 making drugs bad again (illegal) would take effect 1sept2024. I had to read the bill to find the date. #Oregon
