From 2007 (now fixed).
These are some of the hardest papers to write and make visible; I was disabused of a few beliefs and the treatment of number theory didn't upset me so this was great, particularly the Fourier bit at the end.

- stablemap 9y ago@GordonS It's an HN convention for the title. If you would delete your comment then I think I would be allowed delete mine and would gladly do so now that the submission has been "fixed". Of course an algorithm like this is evergreen.

- edanm 9y agoNo, it's also a handy way to show readers that this isn't something new. E.g. some readers will love to read anything new that Scott Aaronson writes, but wouldn't necessarily want to read something old or that they read in the past.
