news.ycombinator.com King'S College London 2025-11-23 05:13:12

In a new study published today, scientists discovered that keratin, a protein found in hair, skin and wool, can repair tooth enamel and stop early stages of decay. Unlike bones and hair, enamel does not regenerate, once it is lost, it’s gone forever. Acidic foods and drinks, poor oral hyg

How randomness improves algorithms (2023)

news.ycombinator.com Ben Brubaker 2025-11-20 22:43:53

Since the very first days of computer science — a field known for its methodical approach to problem-solving — randomness has played an important role. The first program to run on the world’s first general-purpose electronic computer used randomness to simulate nuclear processes. Similar approaches have since been used in astrophysics, climate science and economics. In all these cases, plugging in random numbers at certain steps in the algorithm helps researchers account for uncertainty about th
