### AI overview

This commentary reviews Jill Lepore's The Rise and Fall of the Artificial State, which examines how private technology companies, automation and artificial intelligence could challenge liberal democracy and reshape civilization. The writer remains uncertain whether Lepore's thesis is intended partly as satire, noting the book's cover reference to RUR.

### Source excerpt

It's done. Logic for Programmers is now 1.0 and available in print. Full announcement here, official website here, direct Amazon link here. If you got an early version of the ebook, you can go back to leanpub to download the 1.0 for free. This marks the completion of a project that took five years of work, six bookwriting professionals, fourteen domain experts, and fifteen public alphas. This has been, without a doubt, the biggest and most exhausting project I've ever done. The examples in the discarded drafts alone could make a second book. The cursed knowledge I've gained on LaTeX and typography could fill a third (or at least a couple of entertaining blog posts). Self-publishing was simultaneously the worst and best decision I made. Now excuse me I am going to sleep for a month.

### AI overview

The author announces four supplementary pieces for Logic for Programmers covering concurrent-process orderings, first-order logic and sets of functions, Liskov's history rule in subtyping, and orders on sets. The supplements contain roughly 2,000-3,000 words of math content and may be less polished than the book.

### Source excerpt

So I said there wasn't a proper newsletter this week, since I'm in Budapest prepping for a conference. But I still got a thing for y'all. There's a lot of interesting topics I wanted to cover for Logic for Programmers, but the book is dense enough as it is and many of these were too tangential or technical to fit in well. So I've been writing some supplements and uploading them here. I've got four so far: How we compute the number of orderings of multiple concurrent processes How first-order logic can quantify over "a set of functions", what a "set of functions" looks like, and how functions can be defined in terms of sets (plus a bit on currying and type theory) Barbara Liskov's "history rule" in subtyping Total and partial orders on sets. Now I'm going to caveat that these were written off the cuff and haven't gone through the obsessive editing of the book itself, so they may be rough and there might be errors in them. Still, it's like 2-3000 words of math content, so hopefully covers not having a proper newsletter this time. Seeya next week!

This means I've been re-reading my book. It's funny how much of the advice is easy to know but hard to do in the moment.

### AI overview

The article announces Logic for Programmers v0.13, a release exceeding 50,000 words and described as 20% larger than v0.12. It outlines rewritten chapters, a shift in the Alloy chapter toward domain modeling, expanded coverage of compatibility, testing, proofs, and answer set programming, and plans for copy editing, technical review, proofreading, and layout work.

### Source excerpt

It's taken four months, but the next release of Logic for Programmers is now available! v0.13 is over 50,000 words, making it both 20% larger than v0.12 and officially the longest thing I have ever written.1 Full release notes are here, but I'll talk a bit about the biggest changes. For one, every chapter has been rewritten. Every single one. They span from relatively minor changes to complete chapter rewrites. After some rough git diffing, I think I deleted about 11,000 words?2 The biggest change is probably to the Alloy chapter. After many sleepless nights, I realized the right approach wasn't to teach Alloy as a data modeling tool but to teach it as a domain modeling tool. Which technically means the book no longer covers data modeling. There's also a lot more connections between the chapters. The introductory math chapter, for example, foreshadows how each bit of math will be used in the future techniques. I also put more emphasis on the general "themes" like the expressiveness-guarantees tradeoff (working title). One theme I'm really excited about is compatibility (extremely working title). It turns out that the Liskov substitution principle/subtyping in general, database migrations, backwards-compatible API changes, and specification refinement all follow basically the same general principles. I'm calling this "compatibility" for now but prolly need a better name. Finally, there's just a lot more new topics in the various chapters. Testing properly covers structural and metamorphic properties. Proofs covers proof by induction and proving recursive functions (in an exercise). Logic Programming now finally has a section on answer set programming. You get the picture. Next Steps There's a lot I still want to add to the book: proper data modeling, data structures, type theory, model-based testing, etc. But I've added new material for two year, and if I keep going it will never get done. So with this release, all the content is in! Just like all the content was in

Radical Candor How to Get What You Want by Saying What You Mean Author: Kim Scott The general idea of the book is that great leadership means caring personally while challenging directly. When I started reading the book, I figured out it's not that radical at all. It's about feedback, mostly constructive: "Radical Candor" is about giving feedback that is both kind and clear-helping people grow while building strong, trusting relationships.
