New Hashing Algorithm — A breakthrough for competitive programming?

Revision en2, by gupta_samarth, 2025-02-12 08:10:32

Something really cool just popped up in my feed, thought I'll share it here — Cool Article

Research Paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/2501.02305

Although I haven't read through the details of the paper, I feel quite excited by the fact that an undergrad student was able to come across this innovation -- although I may be reading too much into the fluff of the article

Poses a few questions in my mind

  1. Is this going to affect competitive programming, is it useful at all?

  2. How long before there's a neal blog about blowing up this map / table?

  3. Given the current AI rush throughout the world, it makes you wonder when / if at all AI would ever be able to achieve feats like this?
