Re:Can Neural Networks Crack Sudoku? on Monday June 12, 2017 @08:49AM (#14536876)
I'd say that using neural networks to solve sudoku-like puzzles is a bad idea -- a SAT solver, constraints program or integer program would be all quicker to run and quicker to implement.

Well, most of the work (asm.js compiler, github pages template) has been done by lean developers (and I agree, it's a marvel): https://github.com/leanprover/mkleanbook

My contribution is just the content. There are alternative tutorials available, but they all require significant time investment (weeks to months)

Well, have a look at the two tutorials to which I link in readme.md of the github project. The first is very suitable for programmers with minimal prior knowledge of maths, the second is aimed at the opposite audience (mathematicians without much CS knowlede) (and I think is actually even simpler).

By easier I mean there's a good tutorial and a low barrier of entry (you can learn to type proofs in the browser). When a couple years ago I decided to teach myself coq, I very quickly gave up, because there just wasn't any good entry-level resource available online.

Formal proofs are becoming easier. This proof was achieved in a couple days of intermittent effort, starting with no knowledge of formal proofs.

What about adblock, adblock+? Is it possible for it to work as a webapp?
