What I’m saying is that you can’t just trust what the AI says because it produces a Lean artifact. The statement of the theorem has to be correctly translated from English into Lean code. It’s like translating user requirements into code.

"Lean-verified" is not some magical incantation that makes a supposed proof irrefutable. Even disregarding potential bugs in the kernel as others have said. Say that AI gives you a Lean proof and says it proves Theorem X . It cou

I think that would only follow if the rest of the world’s purchasing power also grows at the same rate (unlikely), or if you were to cease all international trade (uhh…).

This is already a thing? Just replace “robots” with “machines”. And yet I see videos all the time of Indians running contraptions straight out of the steam age in their shacks to make plastic straws or sandals. Or just doing it by hand. Bet

Sort of. For me it’s more like seeing out of a third eye (while also seeing out of your real eyes). Like how if you put your finger right in front of your face, you can see two images of it at once. With concentration I can ignore what my r

One thing you notice running NoScript is how prevalent Google is. Even if a site doesn’t monetize with Google Ads, there’s a decent chance it’s pulling a script from ajax.googleapis.com, and Google still knows that you visited the site from

If what you’re saying is true, what’s the use (or even meaning) of being “all in”? You’re a rock either way.

This is where I’m at as well. If it needs to change too much to do what I want, I take that as a sign to either (1) ask for a change that is easier to review, or barring that (2) pivot to refactoring the codebase until it becomes a change t

I’ve found it depends on where I connect from. If I’m using my home WiFi, it works. If I use 4G or a VPN, I get the login prompt. Still seems to work on my WiFi at the moment.

It’s not crazy when you consider that their customers are the advertisers, not you. They want to keep their customers happy and buying more ads.

In 2026, everything is server side. Serve your DOM updates encoded in JSON if you want. Personally, I find serving them in HTML to be less of a hassle.

It would be better to just give the students the money and let them spend it as they need. If I were a student living on a measly $1600/month I would be livid if the school gave me a $200 raise in AI credits, instead of money to buy gr

The search space for a naive brute force of three polynomials of degree <= 7 with integer coefficients <= 12 is roughly 10^500. I think it would take a little longer than that.

First party makes no difference, an API can be created for any website or desktop application and served over a network to anyone. It just takes more effort.

That ”but what if I win” is realistically what you’re paying for if you buy a ticket. Maybe the sum of enjoyment lottery participants get from daydreaming about winning is >= the cost of running the lottery?

The proof is not written in Lean, though. It’s written in English and requires validation by human experts to confirm that it’s not gibberish.
