Sorting algorithms are a common exercise for new programmers, and for good reason: they introduce many programming ...

We use heuristics to solve computationally difficult problems where optimal solutions are too expensive to deploy, hard to manage, or otherwise inefficient. Our prior work, MetaOpt, shows many of the ...

TL;DR: Although often labeled a "dark web" associated with criminal activity and illicit marketplaces, Tor is an invaluable tool for protecting online privacy. Developers are now working to make the ...

TimeSplitters is one of those weird series that I look back on quite fondly despite never having owned a single one of the games as a wistful youth. I think I've got one kicking around somewhere these ...

As the world races to build artificial superintelligence, one maverick bioengineer is testing how much unprogrammed intelligence may already be lurking in our simplest algorithms to determine whether ...

More than 800 U.S. TikTok users shared their data with The Washington Post. We used it to find out why some people become power users, spending hours per day scrolling. Each circle in the chart ...

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 ...

Gearbox has developed a sorting robot for sweet pointed peppers for the Dutch Harvest House cooperative, in collaboration with cooperative member Frestia. This project-part of the NPPL-R program in ...
