Not peer reviewed, Lean proofs are 100,000 lines long and Lean has bugs: https://cr.yp.to/proofs.html Who is going to wade through this?

They've been hiring mathematicians to verify this stuff themselves. They're obviously not just throwing it out there without any human review.

And these mathematicians sink the comment to the bottom in 5 min?

It is not peer review if it is all in one company that wants an IPO.

This is not at the top as it is actively flagged by people that can't psychologically cope with the advances of AI. Hacker News is no longer a web site of an elite.

Jokes on him. I'm a peasant and I've been here for years

This makes no sense. To believe this you have to think that the models are somehow being overfit explicitly on academic mathematics and it doesn’t carry over at all to more practical software engineering. I wouldn’t make that bet.

Unlike math, software is constrained by the physical world.

In what sense?

Original submission (460 votes) two days ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49132058 For some reason comments got moved to this one.

Its visibility was diminished due to the flamewar detector and most of its front page time being during overnight hours on Friday night/Saturday morning USA time. I've created a new copy to give it some primetime exposure, because it seems like an important enough announcement to warrant it.
