  1. Indeed I am playing, as I e-mailed Michael early last week. In the meantime, I've been at the center of a tech story surrounding a claimed proof by Dr. Vinay Deolalikar of HP Labs of "P != NP", which is the big open problem in theoretical computer science. The story has become not so much the claimed proof as the orderly scientific discussion of it via Internet centered on the weblog of Professor Richard J. Lipton of Georgia Tech, on which I'm the chief consultant. I've co-written several of the highly-followed posts on this blog, and wrote (all but the first "page" of) what aims to be the capstone description of the paper's technical issues, which he posted just now here.

  2. Chess Enthusiasts,

    It's great to see the Buffalo connection to
    this outstanding problem continue with
    Ken Regan's great expertise and renown.
    The famous original formulation of
    this open question of P != NP was done
    by Steven Cook, who grew up in Amherst
    and subsequently became a professor at
    the Univ. of Toronto.

    Very interesting (though I understand
    almost none of it :) ) so thanks for
    posting, Ken !

    --Vic.
