I am not fine with that. I have ranted about this before, but until recently the sota models were not intelligent enough for most of my work. Yesterday Fable 5 finally solved a non trivial problem I had (after working on it for a few hours)

Cool! Yes, we are getting there. Being a theory builder more than a problem solver I am excited for the future. Also excited for fully formalised mathematics to hit main stream!

I have Qwen 3.6 27B and 35B running locally and and coming from Opus it feels like talking to an imposter. Someone who pretends to be competent, but really isn’t. Results are always disappointing. Sonnet is better, but I have given up on as

No one is expecting that! I expect _kb was sarcastic/making a point. Recently (last couple of months?) these models are becoming useful tools for mathematicians, because they can solve easier problems more quickly, meaning that one can

Hey, stop asking to see my nuts! My nuts are private – okay? (Joking aside, see sibling threads.)

I don’t care to share my exact problems. Mostly because gpt -5.5 hallucinates false solutions, and I would rather not have people reply with "Oh but ChatGPT solves it!", because it takes expert knowledge to debunk them. To their c

Not these. I wonder if the well is poisoned there. The models know that these are "unpossible", so it might not solve them just because… Maybe some day. I am just testing it on stuff I know intimately myself. I would probably not

The medium ones are results where one needs to construct some object, which my intuition tells me should exist. The difficult ones are typically to show that certain objects can not be constructed. These are not Fields medal type problems,

Still does not crack my hardest nuts. Gave it one of them and it blew through my entire allowance on thinking about one question, with no apparent answer in sight! I see a lot of people saying they are happy with weaker models, but I am the

Do you mean that role based access control (RBAC) should be replaced by something else? Or that just the specific RBAC models in use are broken? I personally think the, perhaps confusingly named, capability based security models are the way

While a formalised proof is guaranteed to be a correct proof, the question is “What is it a correct proof of‽”

We dont have to put up with it. At some point the collective “we” could consider using some other machines with other, more free, operating systems.

I don’t think we have the right mental models of LMM security yet. The lethal trifecta identifies many of the dangerous situations, but only describes the negative space of a solution. Speculation: I think we must accept that prompt injecti

Sure. These toposes are well known, and proven to be consistent (relative to set theory). For instance Hyland’s effective topos, or Johnstone’s topological topos. The ideas are that these toposes either require everything to be computable,

If this space of possible structure is real, but seemingly immaterial, how does our matter brain access it? I think we create mathematics as thought structure in our mind. We can agree on things when we create the same structures. But this

Where does this mathematics exist before we discover it? I know of no realm where mathematical objects live except human minds. No, it seems clear to me that mathematics is a creation of our minds.

It could be that RH is independent of current mathematical axiom systems. We might even prove that it is some day. But that means we are free to give it different truth values depending on the circumstances! This is also true for establishe

Math is not based on science! Maths follows logical (or even mathematical) rigour, not scientific rigour!

I use Haskell because purity and strong typing gives so much control over what each part of the program does. This has huge benefits when it comes to security, and just general lack of bugs. Also, it makes the code easy to write, once the t

People seem to use these tools very differently from each other. I value intelligence over speed any day. My programs are written in Haskell, so there are rarely any tasks which require thousands and thousands of lines to solve. Just intell

I heard that air quality on planes was better back then (maybe someone who was alive then can confirm). Because of smoking they had to ventilate the whole aircraft much better. While these days I feel like they are just starving us for oxyg

Haskell is a good language for LLMs! Claude knows it really well, and the type system catches so many mistakes. Just make sure to tell it to model the domain in the type from the start. Also, Haskell can be really performant and low level,

I have used LLMs a couple of times to get started on something. I don’t have ADHD, so this is not a regular occurrence for me. But when I have tried this, I have always found the LLM solution so horrible that it instantly inspired me to do

I love how this is done in Software Transactional Memory (STM) in Haskell. There, the transaction code happens in its own type (monad), and there is an explicit conversion function called `atomically :: STM a -> IO a`, which carries out
