🚨 ALERT! 🚨 This article argues that boolean logic is the villain of clear thought, as if *answering yes or no* is the root of all evil. 😂 Next, they'll tell us binary code is a conspiracy to limit our creativity. 🙄 #DeepThoughtFail

TL;DR? It’s an analog modular logic synthesizer built in a wooden knife box. It is a “logic synth” because everything is based on boolean logic. There are no filters, no envelope generators, and all the oscillators are square waves

Three-Valued Logic: AND - OR With NULL?!

SQL has THREE truth values: TRUE, FALSE, and UNKNOWN (NULL)! AND/OR with NULL creates logic that breaks everything! Watch!

AND/OR With NULL Breaks Logic!

SQL boolean logic with NULL creates chaos! AND/OR operations with NULL give results that make NO sense. This is why queries fail! Watch now!

I just published a post on an interesting MSc thesis I supervised. Arvid Rydberg and Selina Sand Engberg took on the computational challenge of level-p-complexity (D_p(f)) of Boolean functions.

They optimised the algorithms using hash-consing & normalisation, and developed tools for exact calculations using algebraic numbers.
