A while ago, when the whole Deolalikar thing was blowing up, I started thinking about some of the more interesting solutions in math that I’d witnessed (in a sense). As I was refreshing my memory on the subject I came across an article in The New Yorker about the story behind the solution to the Poincaré conjecture. I don’t think I’m particularly great at storytelling, so...
“If I look back I can see the big gaps between records were just fear. I didn’t...”
Just because it’s moot doesn’t mean it’s not true.
