It seems to be that most of the ball chasers are more concerned about messing up their hair and getting their pretty pink football shoes dirty than they are in actually trying to put the ball in the other teams net. Yawn football.

Theorem co-founder @diagram_chaser reveals the one-line change that took verifying real-world HTTPS code from 4,000 millennia to seconds: "The project that I worked on in my PhD was verifying the code that runs HTTPS in browsers like Chrome and Firefox." "You plot this beautiful graph that is an exponential in the number of bits in the prime, where you're like, it takes a couple seconds on my tiny toy examples, and on real-world examples, it would take over 4,000 millennia." "The thing that it's actually checking is that you wrote the same thing in two different ways. This should be very fast. It's doing the operations in the wrong order." "So you tweak one line, and then it drops down to a couple seconds." @theoremlabs

The film festival circuit is broken because of the horror nerds. These dopamine chasers now inflict their limbic system on every film, cheering for lizard brain human suffering. Combine that with one sided political gatekeeping, a filmmaker on a festival podium is like a town square Inquisitor - aiming to vivisect as entertainment under the guise of moral superiority. It's why naked old women humiliation rituals like The Substance are hyped up into Greatest Movie Ever territory while doing their circuit, attracting a combination of prosthetic fetishists, convoluted feminism, and theater laugh exhibitionists. Meanwhile, the movie that seems to work the best at TIFF this year is I PLAY ROCKY - a studio movie from Amazon that is not an indie needing distribution at an Independent Film Festival. While the independent filmmakers must placate gore junkies who perverted the culture into medieval public executions, the studios are free to make emotionally cathartic material. The irony is their movie is about a making movies when movies were good, and also an independent movie about a white guy that that triumphs over a scary black guy. Try to get that into TIFF in 2026. It's hard to get an honest audience out of these things anymore. The gore junkies perverted it with the aura of a public execution with the veneer of respectability. Everyone's lying.

Theorem co-founders @rajashree + @diagram_chaser explain why verified AI sandboxes are still months away despite the latest breakthroughs in automated theorem proving: Rajashree Agrawal: "The models just got good enough to prove these theorem statements, or they're still getting there. One of the costs is just tokens." Jason Gross: "Taking the recent Navier-Stokes news as a baseline, the models wrote something like 600,000 lines of Lean in about 17 hours. This works out to between one kilobyte and 30 kilobytes verified per hour." "The smallest version of Linux with a sandbox that we can make is about five megabytes. So that's still a handful of months away, even at the rate of the Navier-Stokes auto-formalization." "We need to build a pipeline from verifying the software back into RL-ing the models, so that if you want to verify all production software that exists in the world, it costs you less than $10 trillion." @theoremlabs

Sales tax is the unsexiest problem in ecommerce. It is also one of the ones that bites hardest as you scale. We've had clients come to us not collecting sales tax in states where they've had nexus, with millions of dollars in liabilities. Forget ambulance-chaser lawyers for ADA compliance and the California Invasion of Privacy Act; the last thing you want is State tax collectors breathing down your neck... they don't just go away. We've outsourced this problem for our clients to Numeral, who just raised a $100M Series C. The moment a brand starts growing, it owes compliance in every state where it crosses nexus. Registrations, filings, remittance, exemption certificates, plus physical mail from dozens of departments of revenue. Miss one filing and you eat penalties and interest. No founder or finance team should spend time on that in ecommerce. Numeral is the done-for-you solution. Registrations, filings, mail handling, product classification, handled end-to-end. Congrats to the entire Numeral team! Not having to think about sales tax ever again is a blessing for any e-commerce brand, and this latest round underscores that.

Theorem co-founders @rajashree + @diagram_chaser explain why formal verification could break cybersecurity’s endless whack-a-mole and stop reward hacking during AI training: Rajashree Agrawal: "Formal verification is asymmetric security. Currently you have this whack-a-mole problem. As the attackers get better, the defenders have to catch up. You keep doing this forever." "Once you prove this particular property holds of your program, you don't need to check that again. This feels like the asymmetric approach that you need if you're going to avoid this cyber apocalypse." "If you wanna move beyond one-off interactions, build a very complex world, lots of automations, you're going to have structured things coming out of models which looks like software. Being able to reason about software seems like a good hammer to have." Jason Gross: "If you can verify the RL environments and the graders that you're running, then the models won't have any reward hacks during training, and so you can potentially train them to not be as reward hacky in general." @theoremlabs

Theorem co-founders @rajashree + @diagram_chaser on how you actually prove an AI agent can’t escape its sandbox, and what happens when the proof exposes a way out: Jason Gross: "Anything that the agent does inside the sandbox will not result in some canary file outside the sandbox getting changed." Rajashree Agrawal: "We intend to have one by the end of the year. We've got a verified sandbox now, and the goal is to keep adding features in collaboration with the AI labs." Jason Gross: "If the AI can guess the secret root key of the package server, then it can do anything. Either I try to prove that the AI is not going to be able to guess that, or I design the system so that the channel just doesn't allow it to authenticate that way." "You also want to prove that on most inputs there's no change in behavior. Because otherwise it could make it inescapable by saying, well, sandbox just shuts down as soon as it starts." @theoremlabs
