Clicking around a bit, I ended up reading https://arxiv.org/abs/1903.08570 https://arxiv.org/abs/1903.08570.
It's describing an apparently faster way to identify prime numbers.
Looks pretty legit to me, but still, reading the website, there's something... not quite off, but still... quirky, in a way I can't put my finger on. :/
TL;DR, what do others think of this paper?

- exikyut 7y agoOooh, nice. Thanks very much :) Followed that to attendee recordings of the talk, and was not disappointed.
- mattkevan 7y agoDunno about the paper, but the design is trying way too hard. All those faux-meaningful graphics, the 3D rendered vitruvian man, that the company is called ‘Crown Sterling’ and the logo is a metallic griffin, means that it’s likely that they’re at least 80% woo. Similar to a company that peddles pain relief patches which use the power of quantum harmonic energy to transmit healing bio-activated energy or whatever. Funnily enough, the people behind the former also sell the latter.
