Adjacency Matrix and std:mdspan, C++23

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-11-02 20:14:20

In graph theory, an adjacency matrix is a square matrix used to represent a finite (and usually dense) graph. The elements of the matrix indicate whether pairs of vertices are adjacent or not, and in weighted graphs, they store the edge weights. In many beginner-level tutorials, adjacency matrices are implemented using vector of vectors (nested dynamic arrays), but this approach has inefficiencies due to multiple memory allocations. C++23 introduces std::mdspan , which provides a more efficient

US Sen. Ted Cruz has introduced a bill, the Sandbox Act, aimed at giving companies developing AI technologies a way to bypass regulations by requesting a government waiver. According to the bill, the act would "establish a Federal regulatory sandbox program for artificial intelligence, and for other purposes." In introducing the bill, Cruz said it would allow AI tech to be unhindered by "outdated or inflexible federal rules." In addition to establishing a program for this, the bill, if passed,
