Unique games conjecture and matmul <= 2.25. What the hell.

Yeah, I am kind of freaking out at some of these. I called a math friend to bring me down to Earth and he is freaking out even harder.

FFT BELOW NLOGN

  • Specifically, (n log n)^{1 - 10^{-13}}). There are likely no practical industrial problems of a size that would benefit from that specific reduction, but just breaking the nlogn barrier suggests that there may be more and better fruit here in the future.
