SIMD-friendly algorithms for substring searching (2018)

news.ycombinator.com Wojciech Muła 2025-09-18 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.

The 5 Best Griddles and Flat-Top Grills of 2025, Tested and Reviewed

wired.com Matthew Korfhage 2025-09-18 12:36:00

Photograph: Matthew Korfhage Griddle seasoning is, quite simply, protection for your griddle. When a thin layer of oil is heated above its smoke point and allowed to cook off atop the griddle and then cool, it forms a polymer that protects the top of the griddle and leads to better cooks. (Some think that griddle seasoning is to help food not stick to the metal. It may or may not add some nonstick properties, but the main purpose is to protect the griddle against rust and other wear.)

Last fifty years of integer linear programming: Recent practical advances

news.ycombinator.com François Clautiaux 2025-09-18 12:15:08

Mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) has become a cornerstone of operations research. This is driven by the enhanced efficiency of modern solvers, which can today find globally optimal solutions within seconds for problems that were out of reach a decade ago. The versatility of these solvers allowed successful applications in many areas, such as transportation, logistics, supply chain management, revenue management, finance, telecommunications, and manufacturing.

This New ‘Superman’ Spot Tells Us the Movie’s Gonna Cut to the Chase About Clark and Lois

There might finally be an answer about whether or not Lois Lane (Rachel Brosnahan) knows if Clark Kent (David Corenswet) is really the caped superhero in red trunks, and it’s slipped into a quick teaser DC Studios just unleashed for Superman. While previous iterations of Superman’s love interest may have fallen for the glasses trick, the idea that being bespectacled could hide the Man of Steel’s true identity has always been a ridiculous notion.

New paper pushes back on Apple’s LLM ‘reasoning collapse’ study

Apple’s recent AI research paper, “The Illusion of Thinking”, has been making waves for its blunt conclusion: even the most advanced Large Reasoning Models (LRMs) collapse on complex tasks. But not everyone agrees with that framing. Today, Alex Lawsen, a researcher at Open Philanthropy, published a detailed rebuttal arguing that many of Apple’s most headline-grabbing findings boil down to experimental design flaws, not fundamental reasoning limits.
