OpenAI says a logic shortcut leaves P versus NP open
The company has put both files on a public repository and asked complexity theorists outside the company to examine them.
Gifts to doctors track with heavier prescribing
The review combines randomized trial data with non-randomized, observational comparisons, a mixed design that lets Cochrane describe associations rather than proven cause and effect.
