Reddit toplevel comments are drowned out by comment replies Updated 2025-04-15 +Created 2025-03-20
This is the fatal flaw of Reddit for aQ&A website. If you are not early on replying to the thread, your comment very quickly disappears due to replies to other comments. This greatly amplifies the fastest gun in the West problem.
They don't have an actual online judge system, all problems simply have an integer or floating point solution and they just check that you've found the value.
The only metric that matters is who solved the problem first after publication, e.g.: projecteuler.net/fastest=454. The "language" in which problems were solved is just whatever the user put in their profile, they can't actually confirm that.
Project Euler problems typically involve finding or proving and then using a lemma that makes computation of the solution feasible without brute force. As such, they live in the intersection of mathematics and computer science.
List of just the solution values:
Code solutions by individuals:Basically no one ever had the patience to solve them all. What we need is a collaborative solution.
Problems are under CC BY-NC-SA: projecteuler.net/copyright
How problems are chosen:
projecteuler.net says it started as a subsection in mathschallenge.net, and in 2006 moved to its own domain. WhoisXMLAPI WHOIS history says it was registered by domainmonster.com but details are anonymous. TODO: sample problem on mathschallenge.net on Wayback Machine? Likely wouldn't reveal much anyways though as there is no attribution to problem authors on that site.
www.hackerrank.com/contests/projecteuler/challenges holds challenges with an actual judge and sometimes multiple test cases so just printing the final solution number is not enough.
They do some really fun hardcore mathy stuff over there!
Ciro Santilli interned at Inria Centre at Université Côte d'Azur in the early 2010's. It was a disaster, largely his own fault, but also due to our broken educational system. But they do have awesome things as well.
This is a small fork of activatedgeek/LeNet-5 by Ciro Santilli adding better integration and automation for:
- extracting MNIST images as PNG
- ONNX CLI inference taking any image files as input
- a Python
tkinterGUI that lets you draw and see inference live - running on GPU

Raised $1B at $5B valuation on September 2024, then $2B at $30B on March 2025. Lol!
