cointelegraph.com/learn/bitcoin-halving-how-does-the-halving-cycle-work-and-why-does-it-matter Happens every 210,000 blocks, aiming approximately at 4 year intervals. The historical dates were:
  • 50 BTC initially
  • 1st: 2012: down to 25 BTC
  • 2nd: 2016: down to 12.5 BTC
  • 3rd: 2020: down to 6.25 BTC
Each of these events prompts some commemorative inscriptions: Section "Halving messages".

arstechnica.com/ai/2024/11/new-secret-math-benchmark-stumps-ai-models-and-phds-alike/ mentions what the official website is unable to clearly state out:
The design of FrontierMath differs from many existing AI benchmarks because the problem set remains private and unpublished to prevent data contamination
So yeah, fuck off.
The expected answer output for all problems is just one single, possibly ridiculously large, integer, which is kind of a cool approach. Similar to Project Euler in that aspect.
The most interesting aspect of this benchmark is the difficulty. Mathematical olympiad coach Evan Chen comments:[ref]
Problems in [the International Mathematical Olympiad] typically require creative insight while avoiding complex implementation and specialized knowledge [but for FrontierMath] they keep the first requirement, but outright invert the second and third requirement

This field is likely both ugly and useless.
OK, in 2D they've achieved some cute rational number results. But still.

Pages seem to take some time after they say they have "archived it" to when you can actually see what was archived.
Their system is that bad unsurprisingly.
