The vast majority of my posts about random number generation have focused on looking at the properties of different generation schemes. But, perhaps surprisingly, the performance of your randomized algorithm may hinge not on the generation scheme you chose, but on other factors. In this post (inspired by and building on an excellent recent paper by Daniel Lemire), we'll explore a common source of overhead in random number generation that frequently outweighs PRNG engine performance.

You don't need to hike into the wilderness to feel closer to nature. Sometimes, all it takes is a simple bird feeder and putting it in the right spot. Whether you're living in the suburbs or just got access to a backyard after years in the city, attracting feathered friends can bring surprising benefits for your mental health.

Great Tits Sometimes Break Up, Bird Researchers Find

We’re talking about the birds. Great tits are small, yellowish songbirds common to the woodlands of Europe. Tit pairs are known to be monogamous during breeding season, splitting up after fully raising their offspring. But new research suggests that this “tit divorce” may be the product of complex social relationships formed during and after the breeding season. Published July 30 in Proceedings of the Royal Society B, the paper reports that not all tit pairs separate in late summer when breedi

Recently, “the bitter lesson” is having a moment. Coined in an essay by Rich Sutton, the bitter lesson is that, “general methods that leverage computation are ultimately the most effective, and by a large margin.” Why is the lesson bitter?
