    You can do it a bit faster by not quicksorting the entire array, as you don't really care about the order of the lowest and highest numbers as long as they are not close to the mid…

    For Opus 4.8, 142.3k input, 2.0m output for the entire project. No longer have access to Fable 5 to check.

    Corrected the dates, thank you! What are the other errors?

    Thank you. Of course the dates were out of order. The Java library (com.hp.creals) is 1999-2004, paper is from 2005. Unfortunate price of LLM-assisted development. Corrected.

    This is different from a CAS. For example, if you ask it to do exp(100)+1-exp(100), it does not rearrange and cancel out the two exp(100)s. Instead, it does exp, addition, and subt…

    Looks like it uses seven colors (including bodies of water). Can it be done with fewer colors? The four color theorem does not quite apply, as all bodies of water have to be the sa…

    Eskimo bowline is non-exploding, nevertheless I wouldn't use bowline (or eskimo bowline) while rock climbing without somehow securing the working end. Kalmyk loop (which is explodi…

    Kalmyk loop is exploding - pull to untie. Bowline is not. Bowline requires stopper knots when used on on modern ropes, otherwise it can slip. I've never seen kalmyk loop slip. Both…
