    Precisely! The reason I mentioned trees and forests are because they are probably more familiar. The Bipartite graph class is also a bit silly in this case, since it's by definitio…

    For those not familiar: K-Coloring is the property that a graph can be colored with k colors such that no two neighboring nodes get the same color. The K-Coloring problem is a deci…

    You don't understand the statement. A bit of mathematical maturity is needed, sometimes, to parse a theorem statement. In any finite set of points, either there is a line hitting a…

    A record for EV sales in Norway was set in 2025: 95.9 percent of all new passenger cars sold were fully electric, up from 88.9 percent in 2024.

    > Why would you factor in salary Say that it turned out that the total cost of the proof of the Erdős unit-distance conjecture was $50 million. Then the question really becomes: ye…

    Well, to be fair, with Lean proofs, that's the only thing there is (unless I'm missing something).

    No, the correctness isn't for the "inside the Lean proofs", but for the translation of "human language math" and its formal Lean variant.

    I wonder what the total cost of this research was, including the salary for their mathematicians and engineers.

    Since she doesn't use anything clever to find the index of the rightmost-not-at-end, she could use doubly-linked list which would give O(1) reversal of sublist. Also, she doesn't r…

    AAAI 2026 had a record breaking 27k submissions. It doesn't scale.

    I don't know if you know what you're talking about, but in my area, this could easily result in losing your job. You probably don't want to throw someone in jail for one plagiarize…

    That's correct. And 4–5 is low-balling. I was forced to review 7 papers. Now, how are these papers chosen for you? You get to bid on which to review. Bid on 30 papers out of 30,000…

    I use Perlin noise in all games I make, and in my research. It's marvellous! +1 to Perlin.

    Great work. It looks as the space in "No. 12" is too large. Is it possible to distinguish between space and sentence-end-space?

    Proof of work doesn't help if the abuser is massively decentralized and is using other peoples moneys.

    There's really no good proof system mature enough to do advanced graph theory. The leading library in Lean is Graphlib, and it's really not ready for research level theorems.
