You're also wrong

"Math is something humans invented"

Majority of mathematicians are platonists and believe arithmetic was existed and was discovered and was not "invented".

"There is no logic per se"

There is logic to it! Most logicians are mathematicians at heart. See Russel, Godel, Hilbert, etc

"no beauty of Mathematical Logic"

Mathematicians do focus on beauty. Entire books have been written on this. G.H. Hardy in A Mathematician's Apology even said math MUST be beautfiul

"Proofs are religious things"

What are you going on about...

throwoutway··on Tech employment now significantly worse than the 2008 or 2020 recessions
did we just invent that or does housing-based cpi exist ?
throwoutway··on An Update on Heroku
Could have just said we will Keep the Lights on
throwoutway··on Microsoft open-sources LiteBox, a security-focused library OS
No mention of starting with a design specification & then tied to formal verification the whole way?

It sounds interesting and a step forward (never heard of library Os itll now), but why won't this run into hundreds of the same security bugs that plague Windows if it's not spec'd and verified?

throwoutway··on Disrupting the largest residential proxy network
If they said "could" then I would agree but they said it did happen. those actors DID do it, not could. So it's not a think of the children excuse. Unless they are outright lying but I doubt the security team came up with a business type excuse
throwoutway··on Disrupting the largest residential proxy network
> Malware in random apps running on your device without your knowledge is bad.

And ones that have all the indicators of compromise of Russia, Iran, DPRK, PRC, etc

throwoutway··on Oral microbiome sequencing after taking probiotics
Thank you both for the anecdata!
throwoutway··on Oral microbiome sequencing after taking probiotics
I agree, but if one has ever taken an antibiotic then they should replace the bacteria that they lost? Strong antibiotics completely destroy the gut biome
throwoutway··on Oral microbiome sequencing after taking probiotics
I would love to see this same analysis with a gut probiotic! I am never convinced if I'm wasting my money, which strains are best, should I do refrigerated or shelf-stable, etc.

throwoutway··on Hammersmith Bridge – Where did 25k vehicles go?
> Six years later, Hammersmith Bridge remains closed to vehicles. The solution proposed by local authorities costs £250m and has no funding.

If this is not a failure of Mayor of London Sadiq Khan, then who? Where I grew up, new bridges were paid for by tolls until the building cost was paid then taxes covered occasional maintenance.

throwoutway··on Netflix to Acquire Warner Bros

For a while... Eventually, you can expect that functions will be streamlined, compacted, and impacted

throwoutway··on South Korea's President says US investment demands would spark financial crisis
"require more or less the entire world's GDP to be invested in the US for several consecutive years"

Whoever wrote that is making stuff up now, even worse than Sam Altman asking for trillions of dollars to build data centers

throwoutway··on The EU Just Killed ARR
I agree the article seemed disingenous and almost felt like it was shady (can you believe the EU lets them cancel in a sane way?!). When I hear ARR, I don't think of an annual contract. ARR is equivalent to MRR*12 and can be a mix of contract types or even utility spend ($ per bytes). I understand that "committed spend" is when a business agrees to pay $XX annually, but that's not defined by ARR.
