> reasoning about program correctness is not possible

Not possible for all problems. We cannot decide correctness (ie adherence to a specification) for all programs, but we can definitely recognize a good chunk of cases (both positive and negative) that are useful.

The Halting Problem itself is recognizable. The surprising result of Turing’s work was that we can’t decide it.


Maybe in your corner of the world but not mine.

Amaze, amaze, amaze!

Loved the Project Hail Mary quote from one of the mission controllers. :)

This bright spot in world news has been good for my mental health and general motivation. Thank you NASA!


You didn’t even look at what the tool does, did you?

> If the issue is that people write bad floating-point expressions, a code-writing tutorial would be a better solution.

Yeah you are just criticizing this without even looking at it. Shame.


> You didn’t even look at what the tool does, did you?

On the contrary, I did exactly that. It proactively intervenes where mathematical knowledge would be a better remedy overall. It shields programmers from their ignorance.

If floating-point code is correctly written, it can't possibly serve a useful purpose.

See above -- don't jump to conclusions.


They're not on God's green earth anymore, now are they?

It’s also blue, not green.

touche!

The poverty mindset is that you still need to check your mail while riding around the moon. Style would be no email at all.

Please imagine the luxury of being SO FAR AWAY from all the crap happening on our planet right now, only to be spoiled by some lousy marketing emails from Microslop hawking their latest Copilot incursion.

Most don’t seem to think about morals or quality at all: https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/03/introspection-andr...


This is cool!

I use Zotero [1] to manage/read/annotate all my papers and it's got a built-in PDF inverter that works pretty well. I'll take Veil out for a spin some time and see if it works well in places where Zotero's algorithm fails.

Thanks! I'm curious to see how the comparison goes, especially on papers with lots of images and color charts. Let me know how it goes


You can have private repositories. It's discouraged because Codeberg is meant for FOSS projects, but it's totally possible.
