Children as young as 4 years old are capable of finding efficient solutions to complex problems, such as independently inventing sorting algorithms developed by computer scientists. The scientists ...

There is a new sorting algorithm a deterministic O(m log2/3 n)-time algorithm for single-source shortest paths (SSSP) on directed graphs with real non-negative edge weights in the comparison-addition ...

If you want to solve a tricky problem, it often helps to get organized. You might, for example, break the problem into pieces and tackle the easiest pieces first. But this kind of sorting has a cost.

Advanced algorithms drive how music is discovered and consumed. Streaming platforms like Spotify, Apple Music and YouTube Music rely on data-driven recommendations to generate playlists from every ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. Computer scientists often deal with abstract problems that are hard to comprehend, but an exciting new algorithm matters to anyone who ...

For weeks, Kamala Harris supporters got an endless stream of content signaling her victory. The filter bubble has now popped. For weeks, Kamala Harris supporters got an endless stream of content ...

It is much faster, but the sorting is very different from Windows file name sorting so they do different things. Speed-wise the old VI might be improved though, I have not looked into that. NI also ...
