I mean P!=NP kind of is a core belief

And interior point is regularly outperformed by an exponential time algorithm (simplex) lol

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

It basically just says that NP is not the same as EXP

3SAT can't be solved in sub-exponential time
Fwiw never thought it was a well-named conjecture

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

Yeah, I was surprised some people think LLMs are reasoning in Lean directly... all their training data is in NL.
Re:Navier–Stokes Lost in Translation

The example in Figure 1 should help understand why... the NL version is much more approachable for humans.
Re:Navier–Stokes Lost in Translation
on Wednesday October 07, 2026 @12:42PM (#49995279)
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.
Re: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."
