Google used a team of Gemini Carbon agents to formally verify the security of Signal, generating over 6 MILLION lines of Lean proofs.
I think we’re witnessing the early days of a paradigm shift similar to the rise of vibe coding, this time with software verification.
once formal verification becomes cheap enough and common, and new tools are built around it, the job of programmers could shift again.
coding agents already let us build a working app with a simple vague prompt, but this approach of formal verification could push us to be precise again, similar to how coding before AI required precision.
in this scenario, the agents would write the code and prove that it correctly meets your requirements, but the hard part becomes deciding what “correct” actually means.
Absurd kinda algo @nikitabier please give some break and have some chill pill to fine tune the algo it just gets worse and worse it looks like the loop is never ending??? Pls do something abt it 😩😩
On 12 January 1920, Srinivasa Ramanujan wrote to G. H. Hardy describing 17 mysterious functions he called “mock theta functions.”
Decades later, mathematicians recognized their connection to mock modular forms.
In 2012, Atish Dabholkar, Sameer Murthy and Don Zagier showed how related mathematical structures encode the quantum states of certain black holes in string theory.
Ramanujan was studying pure mathematics, not black holes. The physical connection emerged almost a century later.
@bindureddy They have the appetite since Transformer which made AI from Deepmind & the search engine makes them take that risk on a lighter Google has killed more products that they have shipped the biggest one being Stadia and Nexus but getting back into Hardware not sure why?
Der 9. November steht für die dunkelsten und die glücklichsten Stunden unserer Geschichte: für Antisemitismus und Verfolgung, für den Beginn der Demokratie und den Fall der Mauer. Freiheit und Demokratie sind nie selbstverständlich. Schützen wir sie – in Deutschland und Europa.
On 9 November 1989, the Berlin Wall fell, bringing an end to decades of division and marking the beginning of a reunited Europe.
Happy Freedom Day, Europe. 🇪🇺
