What P vs. NP Means: Reversing Computation With Circuits

Polylog · Explainer · 18 min · 2024 · YouTube title: What P vs NP is actually about
Why it's here

Recommended as an intuitive, animated explanation of P vs NP framed around reversing computation.

What it covers

Polylog explains how algorithms can be turned into circuits and encoded as satisfiability problems, which lets you effectively run them backwards. It uses this to motivate breaking RSA, general reductions to SAT, and what P vs NP is really asking.
