    Not sure about Idris, but in Lean `Fin n` is a struct that contains a value `i` and a proof that `i < n`. You can read in the value `n` from stdin and then you can do `if h : i < n…

    This is crazy. It's clear that these models don't have human intelligence, but it's undeniable at this point that they have _some_ form of intelligence.

    Lean defines a != b as a = b => False, so it seems that we have a function from proofs of a = b to proofs of False. I guess this being bijective means that there are no proofs of a…

    This really sounds like it was generated by an LLM. "X isn't a Y. It's a Z", examples that don't make any sense (why would it think you're a farmer?), etc. Perhaps not the most sur…

    I don't believe so. I worked out the permutations for n = 3 and, accounting for rotations, you only get 2: [0, 3, 4, 1, 2, 5] [0, 5, 2, 1, 4, 3]. Of course, you get the expected an…
