The halting problem isn't binary; it's trinary:
Does not halt.
Halts correctly at the intended point.
Halts early/incorrectly with corrupted output.

Terence Tao on how math is changing, #formalverification as the enabler of scaled human-AI collaboration:
"The reason why scaling and AI and broad participation actually is a net win is because we have formal verification."

It’s the specification, stupid! (Seeking a significant shift in the traditional software development and verification paradigm). ~ Manfred Broy, Harald Ruess, Natarajan Shankar. dl.acm.org/doi/full/10.... #FormalVerification
Refinement types provide another powerful path to verification. Languages like Rust (Creusot), Dafny, or LiquidHaskell use them to add properties to existing types, often with less friction than full dependent types. #FormalVerification 4/6
Formally validating a Rust algorithm without really learning Lean brought surprises:
– AI hid sorrys
– Replaced proofs with axioms
– Produced 4,700 lines for 50 lines of Rust
And it still worked.

"Vibe Validation" I got AI to prove my Rust algorithm correct with Lean. The good news: it worked. The bad news: it took weeks, $50, and 4,700 lines of proof for 50 lines of code.
