I'm enjoying reading TheoremA/challenge.lean But I can't wrap my head around this definition of white noise. Intuitively, how is it related to e.g. Brownian motion? It's not obvious to me that this is even non-vacuous! (luckily Scott gives a proof) Any analysts care to explain?

I have but one comment to add: It is getting f*cking dangerous
Holy cr*p! @kirancodes explains how to get formal program semantics that are provably equivalent to the executed assembly🤯🤯🤯 That’s a real dreamer in action. Just wait 10 years, every CS student will study her refinement theorem Only at #LeanNYC

Jack is pioneering a new era of academia imho
We need a fundamentally new system for evaluating academic work. How do I tell grad schools that I have 0 journal publications but have been cited many times for my open source contributions?

Awesome to see what looks like the first example of open source math being cited in an academic paper. Thanks to all of the contributors for making this happen

Thanks Meta FAIR for citing my Formal Conjectures PR fixing a Poincare Conjecture misformalization. Note: This wasn't a mistake by the FC authors, but in fact an issue with Mathlib upstream! I fixed the same misformalization in Mathlib last month github.com/leanprover-commun…
The Bitter Lesson for harness design and formal math! Instead of hand-designing how an AI should prove (decompose, plan, assign agents), what if we just give a frontier model good Lean feedback and let it keep working? We built h1. TL;DR: → SOTA on formal theorem proving benchmarks → can solve open conjectures → matches/beats hand-designed workflows → one long attempt can beat many retries [1/7]

Been thinking about this tweet a lot #LeanNYC
After all the agony in stony places about AIxMath, what have you actually understood? That's the only thing that matters in math. Can you actually give an impromptu talk about what you have understood to an audience of 5, on a whim? If you can't you're not a mathematician. Sorry.

If you haven't watched suckerpinch video on Nopert solids you're missing out youtube.com/watch?v=QH4MviUE… The proof is by exhaustion: Use interval arithmetic to eliminate every possible orientation Lean struggles to prove such results (without `native_decide`)--this proof uses rust
After 2 years and 1000+ hours of self-motivated research, I have finally finished my proof that the Rhombicosidodecahedron is Nopert (does not fit through itself), settling one of the main open problems in a 333-year-old topic. github.com/bence-hervay/nope…

Another banger from @scottnarmstrong I'm reading through the Lean repo now. They document some differences between the code<->paper. (e.g. take p<∞ instead of p≤∞) Question: Why wasn't the AI able to make the formalization match exactly one-to-one? Did it hit a block?

Today I released a preprint answering a 60-year old problem dating back to Bourbaki. I was originally motivated to work on this problem because it is needed to define differential forms in Mathlib. I will give a talk at NYU tomorrow presenting the proof. github.com/Deicyde/alternati…

To clarify, I still have not repaired one of the misconfigured proofs (but I'm working on it!) Specifically, there's an issue with `DefocusingNLS.lean` which can not be fixed by merely altering the solution. The challenge file itself will need to be changed to pass comparator.
Replying to @Timeroot
Jack McCarthy @Jack______M has fixed these, 6 were immediate and two had short fixes. github.com/Deicyde/math I never thought the proofs were wrong. But if you misconfigure your proofs, others can't trust them with extra work... like what Jack just did for free. (Thanks!)

I have re-run comparator without the `definition_names` hole. The "Alex's Cheat" is supposed to fail (the sanity test), and SpinAngle is maybe supposed to as well. From what I can tell right now, OccupiedOverlap is a slight difference that will need to be repaired. Updating soon

This fork now repairs all of the effected proofs except for DefocusingNLS. I need to sleep, but will hopefully be fixed by tmrw morning If anyone is reading this, I would appreciate if you also run comparator on these 10 challenges to double-check the results
