To anyone who wants to "block spam" in email Please write down a function that takes in an email and returns whether it is spam You can't - but we block spam pretty well anyways. We don't need a full formal model to do a fairly good job at most tasks.https://twitter.com/balajis/status/1198727092835364864 …
Replying to @davidmanheim
It is fine for each person to have their own definition of spam. If two people disagree on what is spam, we can just give them different functions. A truth classification function needs to be globally consistent. If two people disagree, one of them must be wrong.
