30:55

A secret field that summons lightning. A massive spiral that disappears into a salt lake. A celestial observatory carved into a volcano. Meet the wild—and sometimes explosive—world of land art, where artists craft masterpieces with dynamite and bulldozers. In our Season 2 premiere, guest Dylan Thuras, cofounder of Atlas Obscura, takes us off road and into the minds of the artists who literally reshaped parts of the Southwest. These works aren’t meant to be easy to reach—or to explain—but they just might change how you see the world. Land art you’ll visit in this episode: - Double Negative and City by Michael Heizer (Garden Valley, Nevada) - Spiral Jetty by Robert Smithson (Great Salt Lake, Utah) - Sun Tunnels by Nancy Holt (Great Basin Desert, Utah) - Lightning Field by Walter De Maria (Catron County, New Mexico) - Roden Crater by James Turrell (Painted Desert, Arizona) Via Podcast is a production of AAA Mountain West Group.…

2:10:12

In this episode we continue with our conversation with David MacQueen, he is an Emeritus Professor from the University of Chicago, and has worked at Bell Labs for 20 years. Bell Labs began as the research and development section of the American Telephone and Telegraph company, aka AT&T, which originally hold exclusive hold of the telephone patent. Once that expired in the 1800s they needed to develop new technology to prove that it was still the best company, and hence Bell Labs was born. Over the course of the years this fascinating institution has registered more than 26 thousand patents, among of which we have the transistor, the laser, the solar cell and communication satellites. Over the course of the last 88 years they were awarded a jaw dropping amount of 10 Nobel prizes and 5 Turing awards. In this interview David MacQueen shares with us how was it like to work in such an incredible institution during it’s golden age. He shares insights about the technology, the space, the people, the management style, and much more! Links David's Website David's Github…

In this episode Conal Elliott gives a more concrete presentation on what is Denotational Design is and how to use it in practice. It is a continuation of episode #17 , in which we had an in-depth philosophical conversation to explain why he believes that Denotational Design is a superior form of reasoning in the realm of computer science. We also continue a discussion raised by Dan Ghica on the last episode on the need for Operational Semantics and the role of elegance in reasoning and design. Along the way we also address the questions sent by the listeners in these last episodes. Links Conal's website Play/work with Conal Conal's twitter: @conal The simple essence of automatic differentiation Compiling to categories Generic parallel functional programming Denotational design with type class morphisms Quotes "A theory appears beautiful or elegant [...] when it’s simple; in other words when it can be expressed very concisely in terms of mathematics that we’ve already learned for some other reasons." - Murray Gell-Mann, Beauty and Elegance in Physics . "In Galileo’s time, professors of philosophy and theology—the subjects were inseparable—produced grand discourses on the nature of reality, the structure of the universe, and the way the world works, all based on sophisticated metaphysical arguments. Meanwhile, Galileo measured how fast balls roll down inclined planes. How mundane! But the learned discourses, while grand, were vague. Galileo’s investigations were clear and precise. The old metaphysics never progressed, while Galileo’s work bore abundant, and at length spectacular, fruit. Galileo too cared about the big questions, but he realized that getting genuine answers requires patience and humility before the facts." - Frank Wilczek, (The Lightness of Being: Mass, Ether, and the Unification of Forces) "We must make here a clear distinction between belief and faith, because, in general practice, belief has come to mean a state of mind which is almost the opposite of faith. Belief, as I use the word here, is the insistence that the truth is what one would ‘lief’ or wish it to be. The believer will open his mind to the truth on the condition that it fits in with his preconceived ideas and wishes. Faith, on the other hand, is an unreserved opening of the mind to the truth, whatever it may turn out to be. Faith has no preconceptions; it is a plunge into the unknown. Belief clings, but faith lets go. In this sense of the word, faith is the essential virtue of science, and likewise of any religion that is not self-deception." - Alan Watts (The Wisdom of Insecurity: A Message for an Age of Anxiety)…

A John Backus quote (from his Turing Award lecture ): “Many creative computer scientists have retreated from inventing languages to inventing tools for describing them. Unfortunately, they have been largely content to apply their elegant new tools to studying the warts and moles of existing languages. After examining the appalling type structure of conventional languages, using the elegant tools developed by Dana Scott, it is surprising that so many of us remain passively content with that structure instead of energetically searching for new ones.”…

In this episode me, Eric and Nitin continues our conversation started in the last episode. This time we move our attention to the cool projects happening in Coq, in particular commenting through the projects mentioned in Andrew Appel’s keynote “Coq’s Vibrant Ecosystem for verification engineering” that took place in CPP’22 which is colocated with POPL and towards the end we also talk about agda, idris and Kind.

In this episode I gather with two good friends Eric and Nitin to randomly talk random subjects that pops up. Among them we talked about POPL, Scala, Isabelle, Parametricity, Dependent Object Types (DOT, for short) and more!

#13 C/C++, Emacs, Haskell, and Coq. The Journey - John Wiegley 1:39:30

منذ 3 years1:39:30

1:39:30

This episode is about the journey of a programmer that converted himself into a Haskell developer after working with C/C++ for more than 10years. Here are a few questions that you'll find the answer to in this episode: What does he find so compelling about Haskell? Why did it make him dive deeper into the Theoretical Computer Science? Why did it make him learn Coq and Category Theory? How does Coq compare with ACL2? How do both Coq and ACL2 compares to TLA+? Did learning Coq make John a better programmer?

Talia Ringer is an Assistant Professor at University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. She did her PhD at University of Washington with her thesis on Proof Repair. She’s very active on twitter @taliaringer . And in this episode we will talk about her transition from PhD to Professor, her work on diversity, her ADHD and how it has affected her career so far, and we also touch on the delicate topic of sexism in academia.

In this episode we have talk with Alejandro Serrano Mena, he works on 47 degrees and is a published author of two books about Haskell: The Book of Monads and Practical Haskell. We talk about many interesting features behind functional programming such as adts, pattern matching, impredicativity, monads, effects, hacking the ghc and how all this comes together to grab industry attention to adopt functional programming features over the past decade.

#10 Classical Logic vs Intuitionistic Logic - Thorsten Altenkirch and Anupam Das 1:16:30

منذ 4 years1:16:30

1:16:30

In this episode we host a discussion between Anupam Das and Thorsten Altenkirch on the role of constructivism in mathematics, logic and computer science. Anupam is a lecturer in the University of Birmingham in the UK, and Thorsten Altenkirch is a CS Professor at the University of Nottingham. We discuss why constructive content in proofs matters, the law of excluded middle, the axiom of choice, category theory, and much more!

#8 Cedille - Chris Jenkins 1:05:42

منذ 4 years1:05:42

1:05:42

In this episode I have a nice conversation with Chris Jenkins to talk about the Cedille theorem prover, based on a very concise type theory called CDLE. The main selling point of Cedille is that the theory is so small that the typing rules fit one page. And yet it is strong enough to do relevant theorem proving. This is probably the most technical episode so far. Links Leroy Jenkins Cedille Cast The Iowa Type Theory Commute Cedille Page Github Page…

In this episode we dive into Isabelle, the interactive theorem prover based on Higher Order Logic directly from someone who spent quite some time hacking on its internals. Me and Daniel also talk about Mizar, Isar, the seL4, and how it is formalized. Torwards the end of the episode we also talk a little about his current work on the binary analysis of Aarch32 Arm Archtecture at Galois.…
