caughtinthought··on The Exponential Time Hypothesis Is False [pdf]
I mean P!=NP kind of is a core belief
caughtinthought··on The Exponential Time Hypothesis Is False [pdf]
And interior point is regularly outperformed by an exponential time algorithm (simplex) lol
caughtinthought··on The Exponential Time Hypothesis Is False [pdf]
Which is a separate issue than the one you commented originally
caughtinthought··on The Exponential Time Hypothesis Is False [pdf]
Basically 3SAT algo isn't sub-exponential enough to absorb the arbitrary poly cost for the reduction

So 3SAT+poly reduction ends up being exponential

SETH is a much stronger claim than ETH

I'm stating the conjecture as requested
caughtinthought··on The Exponential Time Hypothesis Is False [pdf]
It basically just says that NP is not the same as EXP
caughtinthought··on The Exponential Time Hypothesis Is False [pdf]
3SAT can't be solved in sub-exponential time

Fwiw never thought it was a well-named conjecture

How do the best humans do against the LLMs?
caughtinthought··on The gap in shared understanding of LLM capability is widening
Even if the model is simple, it is happening at a scale that is producing alien results. You understand the basic principles, but that doesn't matter: you, well rather no one, understands the final product.

Does Karpathy ever talk about how LLMs are supposed to help humanity? Starting to think this guy is just a Twitter addict like every other lab employee
caughtinthought··on Navier–Stokes Lost in Translation
Yeah, I was surprised some people think LLMs are reasoning in Lean directly... all their training data is in NL.
caughtinthought··on Navier–Stokes Lost in Translation
The example in Figure 1 should help understand why... the NL version is much more approachable for humans.
caughtinthought··on Navier–Stokes Lost in Translation
That makes some sense. Given that the vast majority of math in its training data is going to be in NL/latex, I just assumed that the core reasoning happens in NL with occasional LEAN checks to ensure validity.
caughtinthought··on Navier–Stokes Lost in Translation
If the lean proof doesn't match the natural language one (which is the one the AI generated to solve the problem), it sounds like the lean proof isn't verifying the intended claim?

From the paper: "A third possibility is that the NL proof provides stronger statements than what the formal proof actually establishes, with (of course) different proofs. The latter happens in OpenAI’s announced proof of blow-up of Navier Stokes equations."

Sounds like a great use case for an LLM

Basically no new info here, not really sure why this post needed to be written tbh.

This is the part that's funny to me. How much different is this vs. Claude just running a loop responding to itself?
