Something weird here, why is it so hard to have a deterministic program capable of checking a proof or anything math related, aren't maths super deterministic when natural language is not. From first principles, it should be possible to do this without a llm verifier.

I think that mathematical proofs, as they are actually written, rely on natural language and on a large amount of implicit shared knowledge. They are not formalized in the Principia Mathematica sense, and they are even further from the syntax required by modern theorem provers. Even the most rigorous proofs such as those in Bourbaki are not directly translatable into a fully formal system.

In the end, the article says:

> writing functioning application code has grown easier thanks to AI.

> It's getting easier and easier for startups to do stuff.

> Another answer might be to use the fact that software is becoming free and disposable to your advantage.

For me, the logical conclusion here is: don't build a software startup!

Hey either it nailed it or it didn't.

Yes; they nailed the root case but the implementation is not 100% correct

Tested it on a bug that Claude and ChatGPT Pro struggled with, it nailed it, but only solved it partially (it was about matching data using a bipartite graph). Another task was optimizing a complex SQL script: the deep-thinking mode provided a genuinely nuanced approach using indexes and rewriting parts of the query. ChatGPT Pro had identified more or less the same issues. For frontend development, I think it’s obvious that it’s more powerful than Claude Code, at least in my tests, the UIs it produces are just better. For backend development, it’s good, but I noticed that in Java specifically, it often outputs code that doesn’t compile on the first try, unlike Claude.

I have the feeling that we are still in the early stages of AI adoption, where regulation hasnt fully caught up yet. I can imagine a future where LLMs sit behind KYC identification and automatically report any suspicious user activity to the authorities... I just hope we won’t someday look back on this period with nostalgia :)

I guess you're thinking of jpegli? Do you know how big a difference this actually makes?

MozJPEG, Guetzli and also Jpegli

I loved the article, but it overlooks one important point: although the JPEG format is frozen, encoders are still evolving ! Advances such as smarter quantization, better perceptual models, and higher-precision maths enables us achieve higher compression ratios while sticking to a format that's supported everywhere :)

What I like about mechanical watches is that, having survived a near-death experience when quartz watches were introduced, they’ve evolved into a completely different kind of product. It’s fascinating that, unlike most other businesses and products, people don’t buy them for their utility, and the less automated their production process, the better. Brands like A. Lange & Söhne even pride themselves on assembling their movements twice.

When inefficiency and craftsmanship are considered features rather than flaws, you have an industry that won’t easily be replaced by AI or robots.

In a quick web demo, this library was the only one that could handle interactive viewing and manipulation of a very large graph using its GraphGL component ! I don’t think it's a well-known visualization library, but it's quite interesting ...

Not sure if Michael Roth is related to Philip Roth, but it somehow reminds me of American Pastoral and that era of protests against the Vietnam War and its aftermath. I'm not entirely sure how those demonstrations compare to the ones we’re seeing today, but the parallels are striking
