Needed this. Thanks.

Let's see what the common denominator has to say about this!

I really think this gets at the heart of the distinction between language as it pertains to how we connect with others and language that records our observations of the world and its history. I think the ideal mode for engaging with LLMs sh

This is a very male attitude to have.

Perfectly safe. I would argue that it is the safest of the three, the least invasive both in terms of its design and in terms of privacy. The open source model of development has encouraged the correct incentives for people to become active

I would not go as far to say that they exist in a bubble. I quit my job as an engineer because this exact sentiment from my boss was ruining my life.

I'll take three hours instead and hop on a train to get brunch.

I agree that it is relative, but disagree with your conclusion. I think the relativity you have in mind is what we normally think of as a setting.

Yes: https://github.com/rj-calvin/sodium The bindings are set and have a monadic interface, but there's some abstractions that still need refining/iterating: mostly I want to be able to formalize keyboard inp

I've been iterating on sodium bindings in Lean4 for about four months, and now that I've gotten to Ristretto255 I can see why the author is excited about its potential. Ristretto is a tightly designed API that allows me to build a

I've been writing [libsodium]( https://doc.libsodium.org/ ) bindings in Lean4 and have ended up using `native_decide` quite liberally, mostly as a convenience. Can any Lean devs provide a more thorough interrogation of t

This is perfect. I'm currently creating a MUD and these are exactly the kind of fonts I want. Thanks for sharing!

Are there any experts that could help me bootstrap myself on the current literature on "world models?"

I'm of the opinion that formalization is the biggest bottleneck of current generation LLMs. However, I don't think that this necessarily suggests that LLMs don't benefit from formal methods. Given existing abstractions, Lean4

Finally I find this argument. Agreed, and I'm baffled that people think that AI is what's going to "solve loneliness." Loneliness has already been solved by YouTube/Twitch. The brain is easily tricked into thinking

As a playwright, I've certainly thought about AI impacting the art. In fact, it was the very eloquence of chatgpt's output that initiated all of this mania in the first place: not only was chatgpt able to explain to me gauge theor

Testing in general is quickly being outmoded by formal verification. From my own gut, I see software engineering pivoting into consulting—wherein the deliverables are something akin to domain-specific languages that are tailored to a client

Not necessarily. Theorem provers provide goals that can serve the same function as "debug text." Instead of interpreting the natural language chosen by the dev who wrote the compiler, these goals provide concrete, type-accurate st

Related to linear programming in theorem provers is this paper on Farkas' lemma implemented in Lean. It doubles as an interesting onboarding for working with some of the common abstractions found in Mathlib: https://github.

There could be merit to this. Proofs are generally computationally hard, so it's possible that a currency could be created by quantifying verification.

Speak for yourself. I've got $10mil riding on put options for Jane Doe's pizza that she bought for her child's birthday party last week. People like you spreading FUD is threatening my portfolio.

Never underestimate the power of shame on the human psyche. Many would rather double down on the "reality distortion field" than to admit wrongdoing or poor judgement.

I would argue there is merit in keeping a platform separate for the purpose of education. Humans shape their tools that in turn shape themselves. In a general purpose theorem proving environment, such as with Lean, there is a different atti

Oops, yeah, my bad. I've been doing a deep dive into lean4 and ended up conflating the use of the term computability from that context. Sorry, for the confusion!

I recall reading someone who proposed the need for what they dubbed "meta-science," and I think it's clear that this concept is becoming more needed as time goes on. Our publishing process, and the incentives therein, are obv

This is exciting news! Though, there is more than just the math that needs to be done here. Namely, mathematicians not only need to formalize a concise language to bridge the gap with modern conformal field theory, but they will also need a

The excitement of new horizons is necessary for innovation, and a substack article is a safe way to express that excitement. It's clearly understood by the choice of medium that this is meant to be speculation, so there aren't any
