This is cool, I did something similar with a CoreText replacement I've been building recently.

My code can JIT + render to the atlas faster at p100 than CoreText can render without the JIT at p50, and with better quality (measured against an exact cover reference).

What he is calling "vibemathing" is actually just engineering.

Engineers don't have to know why something worked in particular in order to use it, they just do.

Science later tries to figure that out.

Both are valuable, but the idea that science must be "first" is, at best, unsupported by the evidence.

I do not encourage you to look at the diagonalization argument, it has similarly uncomputable elements (that take "longer than infinite" time because they are unconstructable).

It's science (understanding) before engineering (efficacy).

The most common Science™ failure mode.

I agree, if you mean he's prioritizing that.

But since when do we call for a stop to figuring out new things? We don't want a cancer cure unless we understand it?

N people should die because...math is cool for humans? Or?

It's not any more difficult to build and run a JAR, either.

And compared to Go, the production observability is very good.

I also use Clojure and can observe my running app with a full REPL.

Can you give some examples where Go is lacking and Java is great? (Ideally builtin things, and if not builtin, then things where Go doesn't have an externally developed alternative).

Does this work with other JVM languages, like Java, too?

Clojure can to some extent help you get a full/true REPL into Java and any JVM language, but only to some extent. You'll have to use Clojure to get the full observability and program runtime-mutability.

Eh, Lean was heavily developed based on feedback from mathematicians; it's not a side-effect but more like a "driving force."

"We want to be the only ones able to hack people at scale, and we don't want you to be able to defend yourself."

It's a bold strategy...

Need this done for DeepSeek, ideally one of the Flash models.

And GLM. Both Deepseek 4.1 Flash and GLM 5.3 Flash are quote verbose when thinking.

If you have the compute, I have the expertise.

This is laughable, it's not even remotely true.

It's a mystery how this exploit was found.
