ETH (which was commonly thought to be true) implies P≠NP.

sure, this proof itself doesn't settle the P/NP problem, but we've lost one of our core beliefs.

this stuff might be cargo cult, but there's also an interaction/engagement signal because you have to expand the comments so the post itself might be higher ranked when they do this

> I can't go to the cinema and decide I don't like the movie after 10 minutes to get my money back.

you, uh, typically can? not every theatre will comply but many will. I don't think you're understanding the concept here.

um, actually, one question must still be asked, as the Fields requires its recipient to be under 40 at some point in the year it is awarded

other than the fact that the headline is misleading (this isn't what anybody would think of as a font), the concept misses the point of emphasis.

adding emphasis to words in unformatted text draws the reader's attention in ways that are not implied by the text itself.

you cannot figure out which word to highlight with the raw text "I didn't say he stole the money", but the semantics are completely different depending on if/where they exist.

you already have a mental model of surprise. adding visual noise to destroy what is already part of reading just makes things bad. the reason why syntax highlighting is successful is that the semantics are rigid. natural language is explicitly not that.

> In Suits at common law, where the value in controversy shall exceed twenty dollars, the right of trial by jury shall be preserved, and no fact tried by a jury, shall be otherwise re-examined in any Court of the United States, than according to the rules of the common law

47/50 states also provide for this right in their constitutions. the remaining three don't have it in their constitution but still have legislation or rules supporting it

All of this text complaining about prices rising faster than other goods, but many of the listed ski resorts suffer from overcrowding.

If anything, ticket prices during peak times are too _low_. There's just too much demand.

Yes, that's exactly the point of their post and how cheap DeepSeek used to be.

something is wrong with your first simulator. it always responds YNYY if your queries are RRKK or KKRR on four different cards. "vibe" slop?

this AI voice is killing me. there might be something technically interesting in this blog post but it's so hard to read because the AI voice just completely distracts from the message
