Proof of stake is just a pyramid scheme with extra steps. Convince me otherwise. . .

I love when doctors say to "avoid stress" as if we can just unsubscribe from this shitty world

Actually. If this proof is correct, it means 3-SAT can be solved in sub exponential time. 3-SAT is NP-complete, so we can reduce other NP-complete problems to it (and then solve it in sub exponential time).
SATがsubexpで解けても任意のNP完全問題がsubexpで解けるわけではないので、暫くは色んなNP完全問題をsubexpで解く研究が流行るんだろうか?例えばハミルトン閉路とか。 (その前にOpenAIがSATを多項式にするかもしれないが)

P=NP but the polynomial term is too large to be useful is the funniest possibility so that’s my pick.
Still some time left to place your bets on P vs NP folks

Catastrophic flooding along the San Juan River. Farmington has surpassed its 1909 flood record. The river at Shiprock is forecast to crest at 23.17 feet just after midnight. If you live near the river, be ready to evacuate. Stay away from floodwaters. #NMwx

FLOODING along the Animas and San Juan Rivers in NM. Officials urge residents to EVACUATE NOW if water approaches their homes. Over 1" of rain has fallen in San Juan County, with another inch possible. Shelter is open at McGee Park, with RV parking in the RV1 lot. #NMwx

MANDATORY EVACUATIONS around Pagosa Springs, CO. Evacuations have been ordered along the San Juan, Rio Blanco, Navajo, and Piedra Rivers due to rising water levels. Another 1-3" of rain is possible through late tonight, increasing the threat of dangerous flooding. #COwx

Amazing how quickly we went from "oh no LLMs are going to flood the Internet with insecure code" to "oh no LLMs have discovered the internet was already flooded with insecure code"

by the way, the fact that they keep giving him these tests means that they are not trying to figure out if he has dementia. They already know that. They are monitoring the rate of his decline.
