Typechecker Zoo

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-11-16 15:11:16

This is a pet project of mine I’ve been working on for a while. We’re going to create minimal implementations of the most successful static type systems of the last 50 years. This will involve making toy implementations of programming languages and the core typechecking algorithms. These obviously have evolved a lot over the years, so we’ll start with the simple ones and proceed all the way up to modern dependent types. Basically a fun romp through half a century of programming language design.

Block Reels & Shorts on Instagram, Facebook, Reddit, YouTube. Set scrolling limits on any app with antiscroll mode. No Ads, No Reels, No Shorts, No Distractions. iOS has some limitations,so it’s not technically possible to block Reels and Shorts the same way as on Android. Although it can't be done the same way, I’m building an iPhone app with a different approach to help cut down on scrolling addiction. Drop your email and I’ll let you know when is launched!

Liver King Accused of Breaking Blood-Bound Contract He Insisted Upon

Liver King, the very red gentleman who receives what is perhaps the most liberal interpretation of the title “health and fitness influencer,” is in the middle of what can mostly be described as an extremely petty and deeply stupid lawsuit over a supplement. And while the case itself might not be super noteworthy simply because the guy has been in court a lot lately, it has produced this incredible detail: The Liver King had his partners sign a contract in blood.

The circular economy could make demolition a thing of the past

Most of us are already quite comfortable recycling our household waste. In Spain, for instance, millions of tonnes of packaging are processed every year, but did you know that buildings and their materials can also be recycled, or that an entire building could be completely dismantled and reassembled? Formula 1, often a laboratory for innovation, offers us a real-world example of this in the form of the Red Bull team’s “pit box”, known as the F1Holzhaus – literally, “the wooden house”. It made

A few weeks ago, I was on The Compound and Friends, and there was a debate about why we were seeing 2021-like meme stock activity and money market funds holding record assets at the same time. For context, both of these things are true. If we look at the performance of the 100 most shorted stocks compared to the Russell 1000, that performance spread is nearing 2021 levels: It’s like a bunch of mini GameStop short squeezes all over again.

Why we should thank pigeons for our AI breakthroughs

technologyreview.com Ben Crair 2025-11-20 18:00:00

People looking for precursors to artificial intelligence often point to science fiction by authors like Isaac Asimov or thought experiments like the Turing test. But an equally important, if surprising and less appreciated, forerunner is Skinner’s research with pigeons in the middle of the 20th century. Skinner believed that association—learning, through trial and error, to link an action with a punishment or reward—was the building block of every behavior, not just in pigeons but in all living
