Weird, they already had a PQ contest that ended in 2020: github.com/sweis/cacr-c...
One of the winners was rejected by NIST for weaknesses though.

Google had a similar claim in 2022 about sampling quantum circuits. They said it would take a classical computer 10,000 years and researchers showed it would take a few hours not long after:

Ordinary computers can beat Google’s quantum computer after all

TIL Zebrafish have three copies of the SLC6A4 gene that encodes a serotonin transporter. Some mollusks have two copies.
Do they have been feeding zebrafish drugs for a long time.
