Opening the following page on my browser rises my CPU temperature to over 85ºC (and continues that way as long as the page is open): https://mathoverflow.net/questions/382270/reflection-principle-vs-universes. I am using void linux, and tested this both on firefox and on chromium. My friend using windows also noticed a high amount of CPU usage when visiting that page. What could be the cause of this?

  • Happening to me too. Weird! I don’t have an answer, but my guess is that the mathjax on the page has an infinite loop somewhere. Commented Jun 25, 2024 at 19:30
  • Could be just the large amount of MathJax. It all gets re-rendered on the fly on your browser. Commented Jun 25, 2024 at 20:03

    “My friend using Windows also noticed a high amount of CPU usage when visiting that page.”  So it’s probably not a Unix & Linux problem.  Maybe report it on MathOverflow’s Meta. Commented Jun 25, 2024 at 21:22
  • Can't reproduce. Opened the page alongside other 4 tabs, one being Primevideo, noticed nothing out of the ordinary. Firefox in Deepin Linux. Commented Jun 25, 2024 at 23:16

    I’m voting to close this question because it’s probably not a Unix & Linux problem.   Should be reported on MathOverflow’s Meta. Commented Jun 26, 2024 at 5:42
