  1. At CDIS at KTH and listening to June Andronick on seL4 and I'm left wondering how scalable relying on global axiom of choice is in the era of vibe coders. Perhaps nothing has changed? We just commit to to do MORE proofs by vibe proving? As Terrence Tao (@tao) has pointed out, in this era it is not important who produces an artifact, it is however important to ingest the artifact in such a way that we collectively can build trust against said artifact. Personally I feel that, in this era, it is time to outlaw weak programming languages and require formal verification for any operating software, vibe coded or not. #proofs #formal #verification #vibecoding

  2. We have created two mini apps: Fantastic Fractals and Triangular Geometry. The web versions are available at driota.xyz. Android versions are also currently in preview (see the webpage for information). Comments and suggestions are greatly appreciated.

  3. AI could destroy mathematics and barely touch it

    #AI challenges the "theorem economy" by automating #proofs while overlooking human intuition. Bessis argues that math's true product is understanding, not just results, which AI cannot yet replicate. The discipline's focus on theorems over concepts makes it vulnerable to machines that solve problems without building meaning. To remain relevant, mathematicians must emphasize the field's role in human sense-making rather than competitive symbol-pushing. Success depends on valuing the process of cognitive elevation and the creation of shared conceptual language.

  9. "How do we balance the creativity needed to discover new mathematical connections with the rigor needed to ensure that every logical step is undeniable?"

  10. @urlyman Others might hold that there is a confluence between the limits of Algorithmic Information; the modelling of digital and analogue processes and Information Algorithms; the reasons for the effective and beneficial processing of properties states. With no proof, are LLMs and quantum computers not just the projection and gaslighting of abstract relations and the reductionist predication of presuppositions? #Models #Proofs #Algorithms #Information #QuantumComputers #LLM #PhilosophyOfAlgorithms

  11. Phew, managed to read through the proofs of an article today. Was a bit tight, only had 15 mins of working time left. It always tends to take longer than expected.

  12. Blocked by person refusing to believe a #Mathematics #textbook and #proofs because of a random #Wikipedia article that doesn't cite any Maths textbooks, and in fact has proofs in it that actually contradict the conclusion! (the series 0.1, 0.01, 0.001, 0.0001,... never reaches zero, even as the series approaches infinity - it's a hyperbola with an asymptote of 0 - which you think would be self-evident, and yet here we are) Welcome to the #disinformation age! 😡

  13. This tome 📚, a veritable who’s who of the "I-can-prove-more-than-you" club, promises to transform your evenings into a thrilling journey through the land of functional data #structures, where even #algorithms get the royal proof treatment 🤓🧐. But don't worry, all #proofs are safely tucked away in #Isabelle, so you can finally find a good use for that 'Download PDF' button! 🤯💻

  15. Once again, my fascination with triangles is proving invaluable in completing the proofs of several well-known mathematical formulas/theorems.

  16. Reading the #proofs of a #paper during my vacation time.

    I'm not sure what is more irritating, being urged to do that within 48 hours when I'm supposed to be off, or seeing that they have inserted Oxford commas everywhere but don't use en-dashes except for ranges. 😄
