> Where is this exponential thing coming from? That's what you get from a constant failure rate per unit of time. It's saying that hardware fails in the same way that Carbon-14 dating works.

You can't hallucinate a working lean proof.

Maybe! But I suspect you can write a little LLM assisted helper to at least make your prompts sound more like Tao's. (Your ideas won't necessarily be better, but you can probably 'imply a weighting towards an extremely abst

I don't think you need object orientation for that. Haskell and Rust solve these problems also just fine, without any OOP in sight.

For mathematical research, you can just run until you have a computer checkable Lean proof.

The free market is mostly the glue that binds lots of tiny and not so tiny planned economies together. (I mean companies and even family budgets.)

I've used Kimi K3 for my (hobby) Linux kernel work recently, because unlike the offerings from OpenAI and Anthropic it didn't flatly declare everything to be a cybersecurity issue. (And, yes, I know we should blame C. C turns eve

Increases in productivity are deflationary, all else being equal. (And that's good, that's how it's supposed to work. See eg prices for transistors or hard disks or solar power over the last few decades.)

As an advanced technique, you can also sell high and buy low.

I guess the problem is that they don't charge for these parking spots, hence they are underprovided?

We won't be running out of hard problems to attack anytime soon, even if we produce a bunch of counterexamples to some of them.

It was easy to reproduce. It's no longer so, because the web search part of what you described is 'poisoned' now. Partially by this very discussion we are having here.

The original author works for Anthropic. And even without that, Anthropic might find this important enough to dig up the trace?

Can confirm, Claude is flabbergasted. Gemini just checks the web first it seems, and already references the news. Kimi doesn't quite believe it.

by eru 3mo ago
I'm not so sure. People had been trying to use brute force to find counterexamples before.

Thanks! I wonder if Claude has something similar?

> Like, we don’t say Rust isn’t robust since it doesn’t add dependent types and general purpose static verification that can do more general proofs. Give it a few years! I've noticed an explosion in interest in formal verification

Yes. And in addition, Claude and Kimi and friends will happily do version control and write tests etc. They'll even volunteer to do so and recommend.

Of course. But it's close enough as a reply to "your algorithm for multiplication involves doing multiplication?"

What's their track record for other state sponsored high tech work? I remember a few high profile failures; but perhaps on average these things work out?

I suspect this is where our AI agents will really come to shine: helping people who might have a technical bend but are not programmers do cool things.
