    Not sure what your comment has anything to do with my comment, or the comment I replied to. But to answer to your comment: Opus 5 says that Nielsen's critique is nonsense.

    That's different though. Understanding the spec of Fermat's last theorem is simple. Here, you already need to know some mathematics just to understand the spec.

    Because it is more efficient, of course. Same reason why I use Codex/Claude Code for programming, and not only the chat window.

    That's fine. This is a statement about yourself, not me.

    No, something truly better does not exist yet, but that doesn't mean that it won't. Lean is young compared to Isabelle or Rocq, but actually quite old in absolut terms (and especia…

    Or we just don't use LEAN but something better.

    Which is still a case of the spec being simpler than the implementation (you are after) ;-) Very often, the spec is indeed just a very simple implementation. Often you can make the…

    I wouldn’t split it like that. Formal verification is useful in the case that the spec is simpler than the implementation. That’s it. Coming up with simple specs is not necessarily…

    There is nothing ambiguous about my sentence. Once you learnt thinking, read it again.

    Every "fact" you state really includes the opinion that the "fact" is indeed a fact. Is climate change man-made?

    The truth very much exists, see Gödel's theorems. People get confused by this created/discovered thing. Of course it is discovered. It was there even before you created it. ;-)

    I get where you are coming from (it's me, last year), and that's what I thought. But if you use Claude Code or Codex, you will blow through your pro plan quickly. If you don't use …

    What is a "normal" subscription? Are you using Claude Code, or just Claude??
