May your high horse buck you off

@FabianGloeckle Very cool work. I used Opus 4.6 to *formalize* all 1179 Erdos problems from erdosproblems.com ($200 Max subscription on one VM in GCP), but human PR review is still the bottleneck! github.com/google-deepmin… Would love to do more with it. github.com/ryantuck/erdos…

A new milestone in automatic formalization: We translated an entire graduate math textbook into Lean using 30K LLM agents. Open-source, large-scale multi-agent inference that actually works > Blueprint+Lean: faabian.github.io/algebraic-comb… > Codebase+preprint: github.com/facebookresear… 1/7

I've successfully formalized over 800 Erdos problem conjectures in lean using Claude Opus 4.6, completing the whole set. It's been a very cool experience working at the edge of what frontier AI models are capable of wrt batch processing. Deepmind PR here: github.com/google-deepmin…

lol, got up to about 100 erdos problems formalized with gemini CLI, lots of good mileage out of gemini-3-flash actually without even going pro, hitting unresolvable 429 quota errors, have tapped in claude to bring the remaining 600 or so home x.com/ryntck/status/…

"I have successfully formalized the next five unformalized Erdos problems" says Gemini 3 running in a teeny 4-core codespace, bringing today's total to a dozen lean conjectures heading into the DeepMind repo. The future is nuts.

All of this inspired by Terrence Tao pointing out that AI is sufficiently good and lean formalization is rigorous enough that frontier mathematics research can be automated to some extent: "Mathematical exploration and discovery at scale" arxiv.org/abs/2511.02864

Got a lean environment set up for proof formalization and gemini CLI is formalizing erdosproblems.com/13 - has parsed a PDF with the solution, has formalized the conjectures, and is now plowing ahead formalizing the proof, edit, run, debug, all autonomously. So crazy.

Today I whipped up the beginning of "DEMIGODS", my collection of adventures in generative AI. ELI5s for millennium math problems, formalized (I think?) a lean proof for Erdos Problem #13, and included the system prompt for machines to behave like machines. Bonkers stuff.

Latest work-in-progress AI agent project is building out simulations and learning resources for understanding / solving the millenium prize problems. Gemini CLI pumped out 3D fluid sims for Navier Stokes in like three prompts. The singularity is nigh.

This was inspired by reading about the books entering the public domain in 2026 standardebooks.org/blog/public-do…

I published a copy of Moby-Dick on the Apple books store. This was a fun project and it's pretty easy. I used nano banana pro to generate the cover art, uploaded an existing epub (public domain), and otherwise made a free publisher account on apple books.

Had to do all this stupid shit in the first place because the twitter archive only includes user IDs for the following list, and trying to scrape the html from the following page is a nightmare because twitter wants to keep it obfuscated

Screengrab of trying to run maximum procs for xargs shows 990 simultaneous tesseract processes spawned, ultimately choked on a M4 Mini. Toning it down to 32 made it fly.

Hacked together a list of the handles I follow on twitter: 1. Screen recording of scrolling down the list of followers (~7min) 2. Use ffmpeg to get all frames (~27k) 3. Use sips to crop 4. Use tesseract to run OCR on every ~5 frames, xargs to parallelize 5. grep, tr, sort, uniq

Attempted ID verification again today, re-took ID photo 5x times, submit button is perpetually grayed out and page unresponsive. Next step is engaging with a lawyer to contact @facebook or @meta about this, so crazy.

Wow, this original post went viral among bots suggesting a few bot accounts that could help me hack back into my original account, twitter is one hell of a place

Facebook account lockout odyssey, day 1000: Lost 2FA device, tried recovering account, rejected because I had changed my facebook birthday to avoid all the half-hearted 'happy birthday' messages on my birthday, and now it doesn't match my license lol - @facebook please help lol?

Oh god it won't even let me do the forgot password flow now lmao: "It looks like you were misusing this feature by going too fast. You’ve been temporarily blocked from using it."
