So this conjecture was validated up to 4,000,000,000,000,000,000. And this project has increased that number to 4,000,010,000,000,000,000. Increasing the limit by 0.00025% Not totally sure this is a good use of the compute/brainpower... | |||||||||||||||||||||||

It's a better use of compute/brainpower than dissing someone's passion. | |||||||||||||||||||||||

I thought the same. The resulting UX is really nice though, and the stack is interesting. If the author does publish other blog posts about the technical side, this project may help other people start their own distributed calculation project on more fruitful issues for the society, and I guess that'd be a win. | |||||||||||||||||||||||

Not that it changes much... but 7*10^13 instead of 10^13. I don't know about making a judgement call on what a good use of computer or brainpower is, it seems like a fun enough project in many ways, but in terms of claims worth headlining about the project I agree wholeheartedly. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
