well, a bug in the Lean kernel was discovered last week by way of an LLM tricking itself and its handler into believing it had found a non-constructive proof of the existence of a nontrivial Collatz cycle, see https://infosec.exc

the unit distance problem's paper was human-summarised and condensed significantly from the initial LLM output, so it seems the model did do some theory-building there (possibly providing motivation for the clever trick as a natural de

i hate every time i hear about spaghettisort. it is still O(n) weight to transport, so O(n^2) amortised; if you liken having a stronger hand that can carry more spaghetti to parallelisation, it's beaten by O(log^2 n) sorting algorithms

this is explained by the symbolic method ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symbolic_method ); in the language of exppnential generating functions, we say that bell(n) = A000110(n) = [x^n/n!] exp(exp(x)-1), since exp()
