He could have been paid by Anthropic to run a brute-force computer search. The counterexample looks short enough that, given a portion of Anthropic’s computing power and a sufficiently smart algorithm, it could be found by brute force.

Is there any evidence that the discovery was made by Claude and not by Levent Alpöge himself? The only sources listed in the wikipedia article are an X post and a news article that references the post.

From what I can tell, DuckDB is more focused on huge-scale data analysis than simple data persistence, so I’m not sure if it fits my use cases. Otherwise, it looks good.

I find Go’s version worse in that it does not allow you to elide the index (which is not needed most of the time). You have to write `for _, s := range vec`, as `for s := range vec` makes s the index.

Cursor based pagination only works if the items are sorted in strict chronological order. Otherwise, the problem remains. Consider the list [A B C] D E F G H … where the brackets represent the first page. If the user clicks the next
