New ask Hacker News story: I think I know why Collatz does that thing it does

I think I know why Collatz does that thing it does
2 by stuartriffle | 1 comments on Hacker News.
The normal term for this is "manic delusion of grandeur", so please help me out: 3n walks congruence classes +1 steps each one out of alignment /2 never changes that fact Accumulating co-primeness is the "memory" that stops n from repeating. This is invariant under 2^k, which allows it to make forward progress through the chaos. Exhausting congruence classes mod 3 forces n to a power of 2; game over. I asked AI to prove those things, and it did. I assume. The only question then would be if 1.5n can grow the residue vector quickly enough to outrun the exhaustive walk. I asked AI that too, and got back a one page p-word. I'm not even going to type it. I can sweet-talk AI into agreeing with damned near anything, so I'm stuck. This is the only forum I know with consistently thoughtful conversation, and I can't think my way out of this one, and I have real work to do. Is there a mathematician in the house?

New ask Hacker News story: Debian Testing/Trixie removes systemd-resolved

Debian Testing/Trixie removes systemd-resolved 6 by iam-TJ | 0 comments on Hacker News. Debian's systemd maintainer today removed both systemd-resolved and systemd-nspawn packages [0] from Testing/Trixie/Debian 13 - soon to be in feature freeze - due to disagreements with the Technical Committee [1]. For operators already using Testing/Trixie/Debian 13 this will lead to dependency version conflicts and/or loss of existing service; for upgrades from Stable/Bookworm/Debian 12 likewise. systemd-resolved package depends on the exact same version of other systemd packages. When they try to upgrade to newer versions the installed-but-orphaned systemd-resolved package will prevent it unless it is removed. New installs can use resolvconf.
