Note 1: On Tower of Hanoi Solutions and their Complexity. I chose the Tower of Hanoi puzzle (Lucas, 1883) because of its almost mythical status in computer science and discrete mathematics communities. It’s a staple in AI education and typically the first encounter with elegant doubly recursive algorithms for CS undergraduates. And, I chose the search algorithms mentioned in Section 1 because they constitute the core of the “state space search” paradigm in most AI textbooks (e.g., Chapters 3 and

No Clicks, No Content: The Unsustainable Future of AI Search

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-12-19 15:37:24

AI companies are causing a content drought that will eventually starve them. In a recent article, The Economist didn’t mince words: “AI is killing the web.” Published last month, the piece raises urgent questions about how artificial intelligence is reshaping the internet as we know it: ChatGPT, Google, and its competitors are rapidly diverting traffic from publishers. Publishers are fighting to survive through lawsuits, partnerships, paywalls, and micropayments. It’s pretty bleak, but unfortun

Replacing a Cache Service with a Database

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-12-19 14:41:15

Replacing a cache service with a database I’ve been thinking about this: will we ever replace caches entirely with databases? In this post I will share some ideas and how we are moving towards it. tl;dr we are still not there, yet. Why do we even use caches? Caches solve one important problem: providing pre-computed data at insanely low latencies, compared to databases. I am talking about typical use cases where we use a cache along with the db (cache aside pattern), where the application alw

Why haven't quantum computers factored 21 yet?

news.ycombinator.com Craig Gidney 2025-12-19 11:14:26

In 2001, quantum computers factored the number 15. It’s now 2025, and quantum computers haven’t yet factored the number 21. It’s sometimes claimed this is proof there’s been no progress in quantum computers. But there’s actually a much more surprising reason 21 hasn’t been factored yet, which jumps out at you when contrasting the operations used to factor 15 and to factor 21. The circuit (the series of quantum logic gates) that was run to factor 15 can be seen in Figure 1b of “Experimental real

"This telegram must be closely paraphrased before being communicated" Why?

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-12-19 11:39:47

It appears that it was US military communications doctrine to not send the exact same message twice using different encryption ("none" counting as one type of encryption), and the term of art for changing a message to avoid that was indeed "paraphrase". I managed to dig up a US Army document on Cryptology from roughly that era that appears to discuss paraphrasing. The document in question is Department of the Army Technical Manual TM 32-220(pdf), dated 1950, titled "BASIC CRYPTOGRAPHY". It appa
