    Scott Aaronson said he's changed his mind on P=NP and thinks civilization will need to be rebuilt from scratch very soon as a result.

    Scott Aaronson is a stupid fucking asshole.

    It took some time to show him their were serious flaws with the many worlds theory.

    yes
    >Shtetl Optimized
    reminder that even in the Ashkenazi community 100 years ago the people living on Shtetls in Eastern Europe were viewed as backward, superstitious idiots

    Scott Aaronson wanted to castrate himself so that he would stop feeling sexually attracted to his female colleagues.

    Just like many cult leaders (picrel is Do, Herff Applewhite, of Heaven’s Gate, the Hale-Bopp UFO suicide cult, who did exactly that)

    I'm talking funny, sorry. I'm watching op's right now.

    Scott Aaronson has said he thinks the chance of P=NP is now 5%.

    *yawn*
    i will give a million dollars to anyone who can prove to me that this "problem" has any practical relevance whatsoever

    learned about that recently

    Ah. Extradimensional Sciences KnowHow, Also Making WayHow. As it Stands For NonPolynomial.
    So Perhaps Someone Can Deduce Which Dimensional Number. That That Becomes That Correctness.

    P=/=NP is a quite relevant problem unlike a lot of others. It basically asking if computation is optional or not. However despite lacking a proof it is not really. 50:50 thing. There's like 99% chance P is not NP, it is the type of thing where we have had lots of attempts to solve it but also lots of optimization attempts which could have proven it by accident.for instance if you were a PhD student solving an obscure but but mappable to polynomial time problem and you accidentally optimized on layer too far one that may have proven P=NP. It ties into optimization something every computer scientist has been exploring of generations, even programmers without rigorous comp sci backgrounds. I think a more likely resolution to P vs NP will be more like the set theory crisis with Russel's paradox where we will have to admit there is a substantial portion of polynomial space we don't understand very well but there is a subset of P which can be made much more rigorous and encompass everything we care about in such a way people will wonder why we cared about p v np at all.

    That is kind of subjective so it depends on if being able to encrypt your information and have your bank accounts and other personal info protected by encryption seem practically relevant whatsoever. If someone secretly figured out P=NP, they could just take the million dollars from your bank and they wouldn't have to "prove" anything to you.

    if runtime grows as a billion-degree polynomial it would still be infeasible
