May 28, 2025 What does "Undecidable" mean, anyway An explainer for people who don't know computer science and are mildly curious Systems Distributed I'll be speaking at Systems Distributed next month! The talk is brand new and will aim to showcase some of the formal methods mental models that would be useful in mainstream software development. It has added some extra stress on my schedule, though, so expect the next two monthly releases of Logic for Programmers to be mostly minor changes. W

Matt Godbolt, of Compiler Explorer fame, is awesome and you should scour the web for every single bit of content he puts out. That is exactly what I was doing when I watched Correct by Construction: APIs That Are Easy to Use and Hard to Misuse. After 20+ years of working with C/C++, this theme resonates a lot with me. While watching the talk I kept thinking "Yes! And that's why Rust does it that way." I came out at the end thinking that this talk was actually a great way of getting the intuitio

A new poll out this week shows that roughly half of all Americans are uncertain about several myths surrounding measles and the highly effective vaccine used to prevent it. KFF released the poll Wednesday, which surveyed a nationally representative sample of over 1,300 adults. The respondents were asked questions about the ongoing measles outbreaks a

April 21, 2025 Propositional Parlor Puzzle I've recently been playing Blue Prince, which is a great time if you are a fan of puzzle games like Return of the Obra Dinn or Outer Wilds and also a fan of roguelike games like Slay the Spire. One of the game's rooms, the Parlor, features a logic puzzle that is different on each run. In this post we'll be doing some modelling and analysis of these puzzles. Some people might consider that a spoiler! In the parlor, there are three boxes, a blue box,

With all the buzz online and among my friends about GenAI Genesis 2025, a generative AI hackathon hosted at my school, the University of Toronto, I decided to apply even though I was pretty busy that weekend, hoping my schedule would clear by the time the hackathon came around. The sequence of events that followed led me into finding a vulnerability that let me accept my own hackathon application, before applications had even officially closed. After making my account on the site at 3 o’clock i

In Brief Meta is phasing out its third-party fact-checking programs in the U.S. while it reintroduces a bonus program for creators, which pays them for viral content. The timing of these changes at Meta could intensify the prevalence of misinformation, according to ProPublica. In the past, content creators could not monetize posts that fact-checkers deemed false; but now, these policies will no longer apply, since Meta is deprioritizing content moderation. Instead, founder and CEO Mark Zucker
