What if natural language really is the new programming language? We’re designing the future of end-user programming, and now, we’re looking for curious #computerscience minds to join us in making it happen.

Back in May, we released the AlphaProof Nexus paper as a preprint. Following peer review, it has now appeared in @ScienceMagazine. science.org/doi/10.1126/scie…
I loved working on this project for many reasons. We clearly demonstrated the value of AI-aided formal methods and open datasets like Formal Conjectures in research math. I learned a lot from my excellent teammates. The greatest joy, though, was to see AlphaProof Nexus help mathematicians such as @GergelyBerczi and @MarioKrenn6240 in their work.
AI-for-math has come a long way since May. These developments only strengthen my conviction that formal proof assistants are an essential trust substrate for AI-for-math, and that meaningful progress in this field requires genuine collaboration with mathematical communities. Onward!
If computing is an experimental science, who checks the experimenter?
My talk at #LFCS40 last week.
My answer is logic!

My talk from the Haskell Ecosystem Workshop is out, and it’s already being quoted! Here, I make the case that Haskell is the best target for LLMs to generate (link below)
timely presentation from @tritlo: the LLM should generate Haskell, because
1. Haskellers structure their code to support local reasoning, so the LLM really can limit itself to a single component
2. the types act as precise API boundaries

In this episode we learn about @AndrewDGordon's work including the origins of (>>=), introducing lambdas in Excel, and delve into his current work at Cogna using AI to allow non-programmers to write apps using natural language.

A fabulous interview with the inspiring @AndrewDGordon where he makes a compelling case for developing software from natural language prompts, something he puts into practice at Cogna. An inspiring career spanning the Haskell bind operator; lambdas in Excel; to LLMs for no-code software. A great @HaskelInterlude interview by Sam and @tritlo.

Is a great time visiting the great @PLRG_bristol on Monday. Fascinating to hear about their latest research with LLM-based translations, provenance tracking in the Fluid language, Haskell, and much more!
Thank you to @AndrewDGordon for joining us on Monday, and treating us to his "Requirements are all you need" talk!

Astonishing musicianship tonight by Philip Glass Ensemble at @CambridgeCornEx Fabulous retrospective including Glassworks
Looking forward to the Philip Glass Ensemble in Cambridge: cambridgelive.org.uk/cornex/… He's been active since 1964!
