> >A does not require demonstrating doc-rank problems map to n-day problems > Of course you have to, that's pretty much the whole operation of reducing A to B. You may be doing it implicitly but you're doing it for sure.

Even if you believe B, that’s still not reducing document ranking to n-day vulnerability discovery; it’s “reducing some n-day discovery to document ranking”. A does not require demonstrating doc-rank problems map to n-day problems, since

> When this is true, solving A cannot be harder than solving B. "Harder" means having a higher estimate of the required computational resources in a given context (e.g., higher time complexity, greater memory requirement, expen

Wikipedia: “Intuitively, problem A is reducible to problem B, if an algorithm for solving problem B efficiently (if it existed) could also be used as a subroutine to solve problem A efficiently.” The article takes for granted that LLM-drive

The whole zero-sum, straw man depiction of DEI initiatives is intellectually lazy, even if we ignore the ideology. When I've put effort into it, it's looked like: * blinding candidate names from take-home or resumé reviews *
