There are lots of things to do, but the actual mechanics are for doing them are shallow. The best example of this is the trading system; the way trading works is there are 7 economy types a star system can have, which determines which goods

Obviously the latter - this fact is betrayed by how the page lists the S^6 complex structure result, which was released as a 100 page barely readable mess (in fact even this might be too charitable), as still "unverified". Clearly

I mean, my reaction to God coming down and saying they were bored of being God and instead they would just sit around and answer all of the mathematician's questions would largely be the same, so yes, who cares if its God's book o

I cannot quite share your enthusiasm. The clearest analogy that I can think of to try to explain why I feel this way is that it seems there will eventually be a phantom textbook of all of mathematics contained in the weights of an LLM; ever

I believe D. A. Jimenez and C. Lin, "Dynamic branch prediction with perceptrons" is the paper which introduced the idea. It's been significantly refined since and I'm not too familiar with modern improvements, but B. Gra

Vector operations are widely used in common software. Java uses AVX512 for sorting. glibc uses SIMD instructions for string operations.

I am somewhat surprised issues of scripting and trading even exist in the registration system. Staggering enrollment times over a few days, with new waves every 20 minutes or so, mostly solves scripting issues since you are only competing w

You can just drop the course - pretty much every university (in the United States, at least) allows students to drop courses one or two weeks into the semester without any record (on say, a transcript). Otherwise students cannot possibly pl

One application I like is the use of the Seifert-van Kampen theorem to prove that the fundamental group of the circle (S^1) is isomorphic to Z. While category theory is not strictly needed to prove this (you can compute pi_1(S^1) using R as
