The ETH-is-false meme: a breakup text mourning 27 years of lower bounds
anneouyang · x · 2026-10-28
A CS-theory meme formatted as an iMessage screenshot: the ETH (Exponential Time Hypothesis) gets 'disproven today,' wiping out 27 years of lower bounds people built careers on — then pivots into a breakup monologue about hitting one's own lower bound. 'If 3-SAT could turn out easier than everyone swore for 27 years, maybe we were easier than you decided.' Reposted with 'time to revisit our hardness assumptions.'
