If you learned about NP-hard problems in university, your takeaway was probably this:
AI Has Ruined the Job Market
Maybe flawed people were better than brute algorithms.

WOW!! 🤯Among many jaw-dropping results, this proves NP-hardness of the Closest Vector and Nearest Codeword Problems for *polynomial* approximation factors, for the first time ever, and via a totally new approach (Reed-Solomon techniques). Amazing! https://t.co/3yh3scLX5R— Chris Peikert (@ChrisPeikert) August 1, 2026

i dislike this beyond being factually incorrect, it is also missing the core problem with Big Tech Algorithms: it is a matter about who controls attention, not the algorithm itself /1

I'll go against the discourse. 280 contributors to repo.npmx.dev in 100 days. We only used bluesky for social comms. We asked while welcoming folks, and most of them got involved after reading our bsky posts. Thanks for building and running bluesky. This network is a great place to do open source 💙

Wild to see that @npmx.dev was the fastest-growing emerging open source organization by number of contributors in Q1 2026 according to osscar.dev. What is even more interesting: it was the only non-AI tool in the top 10.
