I haven’t had time to fully read it yet, but glancing through, it looks pretty legit.
This is a graduate computer science student working with accomplished CS faculty at Rutgers and Carnegie Mellon, we aren’t talking about some rando making outlandish claims.
The thing about computer science is that, like math, it isn’t subject to the pitfalls of empirical science. It isn’t dependent on reproduction. The proof is provided in the paper, so either it indeed proves what it claims to, or the proof is erroneous, which can readily be refuted.
