Hilbert's tenth problem Updated +Created
Once you hear about the uncomputability of such problems, it makes you see that all Diophantine equation questions risk being undecidable, though in some simpler cases we manage to come up with answers. The feeling is similar to watching people trying to solve the Halting problem, e.g. in the effort to determine BB(5).
Ciro Santilli's hardware / Park Tool BBT-22 Updated +Created
To remove and install Shimano and ISIS Drive splined 20-tooth bottom bracket cups.
Bought: 2020-11-07. Also getting a park Tool PAW-12 adjustable wrench to use with it.

They seem to do some cool stuff.
They have also declined every one of Ciro Santilli's applications for software engineer jobs before any interview. Ciro always wondered what does it take to get an interview with them. Lilely a PhD? Oh well.
In the early days at least lots of gamedev experience was enough though: www.linkedin.com/in/charles-beattie-0695373/.

Discrete logarithm of the cyclic group Updated +Created
This is the discrete logarithm problem where the group is a cyclic group.
In this case, the problem becomes equivalent to reversing modular exponentiation.
This computational problem forms the basis for Diffie-Hellman key exchange, because modular exponentiation can be efficiently computed, but no known way exists to efficiently compute the reverse function.

Immune system Updated +Created
A cool thought: bacteria like E. Coli replicate every 20 minutes. A human replicates every 15 years. So how can multicellular beings possibly cope with the speed of evolution of parasites?
The answer is that within us, the adaptive immune system is a population of cells that evolves very quickly. So in a sense, within our bodies there is fast cell-level non-inheritable evolution happening daily!
