2024-05-18 01:18:54 +0200 <dolio> I've been reading a book with some people, and it seems like most of the proofs are less believable than the facts they state.

2024-05-18 01:07:07 +0200 <talismanick> what are some instances with nontrivial proofs?
2024-05-18 01:02:36 +0200 <monochrom> Hell, in fact, we know in math of a lot of elementary proofs that only achieve being elementary, not furthering understanding, precisely because they avoid "advanced" structures that bring understanding.
2024-05-18 01:01:01 +0200 <monochrom> I would not take "prove implies understanding" religiously. When it works, it works. When it doesn't, it doesn't, or at most maybe look for another proof approach that brings understanding.

2024-05-18 00:49:03 +0200 <talismanick> just writing out the proofs for Reader, Writer, and State, I don't feel like I understand anything more for doing so
2024-05-18 00:48:31 +0200 <talismanick> but, in math, figuring out how to prove something is a big part of understanding it
2024-05-18 00:48:29 +0200 <talismanick> typeclass laws let us make intuitive assumptions about the behavior of any instance satisfying them, but you do have to prove it
