    @kha opening the first #leanprover meetup in Munich

    @ejgallego blew my mind with a demo where he had an imperative language embedded in Lean (always nice, of course, but nothing new so far), and then vibe-coded a debugger for it, with a graphical UI and DAP support, on top of it. This really makes #Leanprover shine. More details at https://www.joachim-breitner.de/blog/819-Vibe-coding_a_debugger_for_a_DSL

    Formalizing research #mathematics with #leanprover is normal these days, but now people are formalizing #physics results as well, to bring it up to that level of rigor – and already the first paper they look at falls apart, with the main theorem being (provably) incorrect: https://arxiv.org/abs/2603.08139

    I participated into a study on how I use Lean They anonymized the transcript for some research repository, and asked me to approve that. I pasted that transscript into Gemini, and immediately got: SPEAKER_01 is an advanced user and developer of the Lean theorem prover. While the transcript doesn&amp;#39;t explicitly state a name, the speaker provides very specific biographical and technical details that strongly suggest they are Joachim Breitner. Key Identifying Details: […] Anonymization i...

    RE: https://mastodon.social/@fm_volker/116205304864670485 AI can be brutally honest: about how little human intelligence some of our daily tasks actually need, about how incomplete human peer review is, and how fig-leafy some anonymization attempts are. Maybe that’s a good thing.

    RE: https://discuss.systems/@bobkonf/116221261428106677 I showed up this morning at breakfast at #bobkonf looking forward to some relaxed listening to tasks, when the organizer approached me and asked if can spontaneously fill a slot. So I did and gave a #leanProver talk. This keeps happening to me, that&amp;#39;s how I ended up giving a talk here last year 🤷🏻

    Why is there no Isar-like structured proof mode in Lean, like there is for Isabelle? In https://leanprover.zulipchat.com/#narrow/channel/270676-lean4/topic/Thoughts.20about.20Isar.20and.20Lean/near/591162685 I offer two answers: 1. There is now (AI-assistet proof of concept): https://github.com/nomeata/lean-lisar, proving that it&amp;#39;s certainly well possible. 2. It doesn’t seem to be needed that much. (Assume it were. Someone would have built it if it is possible. And from the point above...
