🧮 Terence Tao on AI-Powered Breakthroughs in Mathematical Proofs
A remarkable step toward AI-assisted mathematics, where human insight and machine reasoning combine to produce formal, verifiable proofs.
Mathematician Terence Tao reports that AI tools are now a regular part of mathematical research. In one case, a mathematician proposed an argument for Erdős problem #367, Gemini Deepthink generated a full proof, and another researcher verified it in Lean with Aristotle, confirming its validity.

🧠 Show HN: Hide Text from LLMs Using Invisible Unicode Characters
An inventive response to the rise of AI text analysis, spotlighting the balance between data privacy, authorship control, and AI training ethics.
Gibberifier is a clever web tool that inserts invisible zero-width Unicode characters into text, making it unreadable to AI models but unchanged for human readers. It aims to prevent AI plagiarism and data scraping, with tests showing systems like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Meta AI fail to process the modified text.

💻 Build a Compiler in Five Projects — A Hands-On Learning Journey
An outstanding educational resource that bridges theory and practice, empowering learners to build real compilers with clarity and confidence.
Professor Kristopher Micinski’s ‘Build a Compiler in Five Projects’ offers a practical roadmap to compiler design via a graduate course using Racket. Students progress from simple stack interpreters to a complete x86-64 compiler, exploring loops, mutation, and closures, supported by incremental projects and thorough testing inspired by ‘Essentials of Compilation.’
