Nice article, here is the direct link since no one commented on the HN post.
A tale of four theorem provers - https://blueberrywren.dev/blog/primes/
> Broadly speaking, both Lean and Agda are dependent-types based systems, utilizing the Curry-Howard correspondence to prove theorems via a complex type system, whereas Isabelle/HOL and HOL4 are LCF-style systems, with a small "proof kernel" containing base rules (e.g. forall x, x = x) that all proofs must be constructed via.
In all my years of reading - and I've written my fair share of dangling prepositions - this is the first time seeing "via" at the end of a sentence. Let me guess the author is German, Danish, or a mathematician.
These abbreviations were not defined before use.

- HOL: Higher Order Logic - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HOL_(proof_assistant)

That's what happens when you rent your intelligence from someone else.

It's fair use if it's done by corporations on a global scale.

Educate yourself on history before lecturing us on democracy.

Language models are trained to use "honest", "genuine", and "hand-written" - because they are known to confidently lie to your face. "Why would I deceive you?"
Another thing that irks me is they've started using "I", "me", and "my" - an attempt to prey on the psychological projection of its users, to create a fake emotional connection with a thinking subject.

"How would men benefit from women having equal rights?"
It's not about you, and you would know that if you've been paying attention to the progress of history and human rights in the past century.

What you're saying is that you support the state terrorizing the public as long as you are not personally bothered by it. Coward and a traitor. Wrong side of history, buddy.

The CEO posted in a company chat that pentesting newly written code before pushing it live is "bullshit and loser thinking".
Sounds so juvenile, worse than a teenager. Unfit for running a company dealing with secure mail.

Boohoo. What an ignorant take, a supporter of systemic racism pretending they're a victim of discrimination. Even elementary school children know their history better. You're not fooling anyone but yourself.
