Re-deriving the start of the art cleanly with fewer postulates is good!

I agree with you in general. However: > If Einstein derived them, who is "Lorentz"? You can (re-) derive a lot of existing stuff.

Well, a kernel bug gets write access to everything. A bug in userland is a bit more constrained in what it can do. That counts especially for accidental bugs and denial of service. To make a userland bug exploited adversarially not impact

In an OS kernel that instinct is also true: 'we want to put as little as possible in the OS kernel, because that stuff can bring down the machine.'

Yes, the analogy might help. Though as far as I know the common OS kernel reply 'we have to stick it all in the kernel to achieve performance' doesn't apply to proof assistants.

What's wrong with replacement? That's how you get economic growth. We didn't augment horses or human computers either.

ChromeOS is a Linux, and you can run anything Linux in them, including all the command line apps you like.

Fortran used to be the only programming language (and even cutting edge by default). People went off and created new ones anyway.

If you say 'provably', you should offer the proof. In Lean perhaps? But in English is also ok.

Of course, being a total novice and claiming to produce a super secure gadget are not to things you want to go together.

I wasn't forced to use anything. This was in the mid-2010s when the first ARM Chromebook came out; I bought one out of curiosity. But I learned about it at work. Independent of that: some of the modern higher end Chromebooks can be q

Also: writing this stuff in C just begs for bugs. LLM agents are cheap and good enough that you can write in eg Lean or whatever. Or at least write it in Rust.

Agreed. No one minds when I credit a fuzzer for finding a bug. I hope we can use the same pragmatic attitude for LLM help.

Yes, that's what I'm doing, when it's available. But it's not always an option, so a password manager is still a good idea.
