We’re blazing a trail in formal verification and auditing for complex cryptography, so we can ship Tachyon safely. The assistance of @zksecurityXYZ has been crucial for our team.

Verified compilers!!
I do not think this is the only answer, especially for scaling.

But it seemed to be the case with the Anthropic post and now DeepMind's about FV at assembly level for Signal.

I wish more people would understand this
The bull case for formal verification is "Here is a reusable library of properties/specs you can import in your code" not "Here is a few million LOC of Lean for you to go over, but the model passes!"

we are entering a renaissance in programming language and runtime research, and a golden age of software testing and verification

it’s time to rewrite all software

Kind of surreal to be cited in Anthropic's FlashProve release 👀 🫢

wtf @_CStocker @AndiBabler can we stop attaching to 19th century processes? of course 100 EUR is enough to check legality in 2026, at least on average given that most articles of association are pure boilerplate
Austria is concerned that notaries and registries would make less money: 3/9

Basically revisit any idea that was blocked on software-engineering complexity!

I think at this point I disagree that AI is not showing true signs of intelligence, or that AI is incapable of producing “new” things. I think similar to how we learned that we’re not at the center of the universe, or that we’re not at the center of the solar system, or that we have common ancestors with monkeys, we’re learning that there’s nothing special with our “intelligence”, and many people are in complete denial. This will be followed by acceptance.

Lean v4.35.0 is out, and it ships with verified kernels.

Run `lake check --paranoid` to recheck your project with every bundled kernel.

We hired @zksecurityXYZ to audit Ironwood's formal verification. Rather than looking for security bugs, they tried to *add* bugs to see if the formal verification could catch them!

Here's our summary, along with the report:

We are very happy to announce that we have formally verified the techniques of Liam Eagen's eprint.iacr.org/2022/596 in Lean 4, using only the standard axioms:

I don't think you're prepared to how fast Bend will evolve and how much better it will become over time. If you're judging it for what it is now (which is already kinda nice tbh) you're missing how I structured the whole thing to surf the exponential

It is amusing to me that the only high profile examples of "misaligned" agents come from the big labs themselves. None of the uncensored models seem to actually be doing any harm... to the contrary, they have been essential in creating secure software in the past 6 months.

Did you know that Clean has a website and a pragmatic introduction to formal verification for zk devs?

Thought I'd have some fun with bend by @VictorTaelin

Prompted Astra to port @pidotdev to bend 1:1, including all the missing primitives like `fetch`

This morning it started faithfully reimplementing JS objects with all their cursed semantics 😆
