Oh hey, Asterisk has an article on theorem provers, LLMs, and autoformalization (i.e. automatically turning math papers into formalized proofs). I still think this task is significantly more difficult than what some people seem to think, but who can really tell anymore at this point.

My PhD student Sára and I are looking for people to participate in a study on usability aspects of interactive theorem provers. Please consider signing up!
Who? anyone who uses or has used an interactive theorem prover for whatever purpose
What? 90 - 120 minute interviews (possibly including a small think-aloud programming session)
When? interviews will be scheduled starting September 2024
Where? online (participants from anywhere are welcome)
We are hoping these interviews will help us determine how you interact with your theorem provers and to gain insights on how we can improve the user experience. We are interested in all aspects of interactive theorem provers, including but not limited to their design, their tooling, their libraries, and their documentation.

There are some (seemingly obvious) real-world applications of interactive #TheoremProvers like #lean that honestly have the power to change the world, we just have a broken social system that wont properly invest in them. For example, I imagine that carefully crafted curricular mathematics teaching languages ala #HTDP for K-12 (with perhaps a scratch-like interface for the younger kids) created in lean would be a game-changer for mathematics education.
I was lucky enough to be sent to a decent public school for #autistic and #ADHD kids growing up, because I had consistently done terribly at math in school because I couldn't sit still, keep my mouth closed, and was constantly in ISAP, but I always scored in the top percentage of standardized tests. There I got to do mathematics self-study, with a teacher to help when needed, and that was truly liberating, and I graduated early with an almost 4.0 grade point average, and went on to do an (unfinished) philosophy doctorate, much of which involved category theory. I feel like if kids had an environment to independently explore #mathematics, one that grows with them, many kids that are bad at it now would succeed.
