Using AI agents and Lean 4 intensively for over a year we noticed a single edit would produce massive waste of compute with RAM scaling catastrophically when running in parallel.
Try github.com/th0rgal/turbo-lea…:
- 1000x faster edits
- 16x less RAM
- 20x less token
(log scale btw)
IMO this is the wrong approach, using human assumptions and feedback on a "lang for agents". Agents couldn't care less about 2 and 3, and already do extremely well on many languages. 1 is pure engineering.
Just use Lean
Casually speaking to my phone, 100k fts above ground, streaming my voice to a satellite, relaying it to my GPU in Portugal so I don't need to move my fingers...
What if instead of writing code, you just stated your problem, hardware and bandwidth limits… and an AI gave you the best possible implementation with a formal proof?
This weekend we launched EthLib, a Lean4 library for Ethereum!
The goal is to bring Ethereum's primitives, specifications and theorems into one place, building a shared foundation for formally specifying and proving things about Ethereum.

6 years ago, I bought the reMarkable 2 e-ink tablet. I took all my university notes on it: CS diagrams and math classes included.
Last night, I fine-tuned the @MistralAI OCR model on it to output PERFECT LaTeX from my shitty handwritting.
Keep your data preciously
In 2025, we published a bold proposal to use fusion reactors for gold production.
And now we’ve done it: Mercury transmuted into stable gold, using fusion neutrons, at 10x the record set by CERN in 2025.
We’ve reduced alchemy to a series of difficult but tractable engineering problems.
I used to do that amount of commits in about 3 months in 2019. And to be fair that's probably a good estimation of how much time it would have taken back then to do what "I" did in a sunday.
I think the bots that look for leaked LLM API keys on github are more reliable than github itself. It took 8secs between the push of my honeypot API key on gist and the first "What model are you" request
Less than a year after automating software, we've automated mathematical proofs. There is still massive short-term value in deploying this technology but I've changed my playbook. Rather than competing with AI at either (a waste of time imo) we need to:

Soon, research problems will just come down to "money in, output out". I want to be able to deliver an output so vastly superior for the price that it justifies a margin. I am still thinking about the best way to do it, but I have a few leads.
3/4
1. Develop expertise in deploying an unprecedented amount of intelligence
2. Securing access to better models (may be via government approvals)
3. Negotiating low-cost inference (excess capacity?)
4. Optimizing model choice (see scaling law veritylabs.dev/benchmark )
5. Building solutions to bottlenecks (i.e. more efficient tooling to verify proofs)
I wanted to give a flower as a gift so I was looking for the goat. I present to you Semper Augustus, the most expensive tulip of all time (~30 years of salary), whose patterns comes in part from a virus that disrupts its pigmentation but reduces its ability to reproduce. 1/2
Apparently a specimen still exists from which DNA could be extracted. We don't yet have the technology to recreate it perfectly, but that will come.
In the meantime a few Zomerschoon (also insane prices and infected by a virus) have survived to present day, I will find a bulb
Wow gemini notebooks is great actually. You can literally drag and drop a few slides and have it create a custom podcast for you with characters debating about the subject you want to learn
