So, did LLM (namely Gemini-Flash) helepd with the combinatorial optimization process? I'm sure not all of their discoveries (one on kissing numbers, etc.) have previous solutions in some other form, but yeah these findings looks more like very large combinatorial optimization tasks.

multi-layer perceptrons are more complex than that lol

same. its hard to write on reddit these days. even 'pulp' alternatives like 9gag is a lot more welcoming somehow.

sometimes o1-preview start hallucinating halfway through a good solution. it can get the intuition and the 'main' direction for a problem wrong too. but then problem solving is just a series of rephrasings and translating into different math domains is used by mahtematicians for solving problems.
