Writing a Truth Oracle in Lisp

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-11-07 10:50:53

This post assumes some familiarity with typed functional programming, Lisp, and formal logic. Today we will attempt to write a truth oracle in Lisp. By "truth oracle," I mean a program that can determine whether arbitrary mathematical statements are true or false. This might sound impossible, due to first-order logic being undecidable, but let's try anyway. Before that, though, we need to go over some required concepts.

SIMD-friendly algorithms for substring searching (2018)

news.ycombinator.com Wojciech Muła 2025-11-10 04:31:18

Introduction Popular programming languages provide methods or functions which locate a substring in a given string. In C it is the function strstr , the C++ class std::string has the method find , Python's string has methods pos and index , and so on, so forth. All these APIs were designed for one-shot searches. During past decades several algorithms to solve this problem were designed, an excellent page by Christian Charras and Thierry Lecroq lists most of them (if not all). Basically these al

Neanderthals Spread Across Asia With Surprising Speed—and Now We Know How

gizmodo.com Margherita Bassi 2025-11-10 15:00:29

Neanderthals and modern humans split from a common ancestor around 500,000 years ago, with Neanderthals leaving Africa for Europe and Asia long before modern humans joined them hundreds of thousands of years later. There, Neanderthals dispersed as far as Spain and Siberia. Our prehistoric cousins likely first reached Asia around 190,000 to 130,000 years ago, with another substantial migration to Central and Eastern Eurasia likely between 120,000 and 60,000 years ago. But how did they get there?
