The choice of an efficient document preparation system is an important decision for any academic researcher. To assist the research community, we report a software usability study in which 40 researchers across different disciplines prepared scholarly texts with either Microsoft Word or LaTeX. The probe texts included simple continuous text, text with tables and subheadings, and complex text with several mathematical equations. We show that LaTeX users were slower than Word users, wrote less text in the same amount of time, and produced more typesetting, orthographical, grammatical, and formatting errors. On most measures, expert LaTeX users performed even worse than novice Word users. LaTeX users, however, more often report enjoying using their respective software. We conclude that even experienced LaTeX users may suffer a loss in productivity when LaTeX is used, relative to other document preparation systems.

O-oh, it's so disheartening! 😢

Реализуемость можно понимать как более слабую/обобщенную версию соответствия Карри-Говарда, т.е. идеи о том что логические доказательства можно интерпретировать как программы - в случае реализуемости не обязательно тотальные или даже типизированные.

The HoTTEST Summer School 2022 will take place online everywhere in the world during the months of July and August 2022. It will start with parallel introductions to homotopy type theory and formalization, and end with a series of colloquia introducing more advanced topics and exciting areas for further study.

This school is for everyone and anyone with some familiarity with abstract mathematics or theoretical computer science and an itching to learn about homotopy type theory.

SHAP (SHapley Additive exPlanations) is a game theoretic approach to explain the output of any machine learning model. It connects optimal credit allocation with local explanations using the classic Shapley values from game theory and their related extensions:

And now back to Scala 3:

Apparently there's at least two DOT calculi and they are not equivalent. Actual connection of either one to Scala 3 is unclear.
