Sublinear Time Algorithms Sublinear time is a daunting goal since it allows one to read only a miniscule fraction of the input. There are problems for which deterministic exact sublinear time algorithms are known. However, for most natural problems the algorithm must use randomization and must give an answer which is in some sense approximate. There is a growing body of work aimed at finding sublinear time algorithms for various problems. Recent results have shown that there are classical optim

With each Civilization title, we take great care to thoughtfully and authentically portray every culture on our roster of civilizations and leaders. During the development of Civilization VII, Firaxis Games reached out to Ben Barnes, chief of the Shawnee Tribe, to discuss the possibility of incorporating Shawnee history into the game. By chance, Chief Barnes is a longtime fan of strategy games, including the Civilization series, and these conversations eventually blossomed into an ongoing relati

mdq: jq for Markdown What is mdq? mdq aims to do for Markdown what jq does for JSON: provide an easy way to zero in on specific parts of a document. For example, GitHub PRs are Markdown documents, and some organizations have specific templates with checklists for all reviewers to complete. Enforcing these often requires ugly regexes that are a pain to write and worse to debug. Instead, you can (for example) ask mdq for all uncompleted tasks: mdq ' - [ ] ' mdq is available under the Apache 2

OpenAI researchers have admitted that even the most advanced AI models still are no match for human coders — even though CEO Sam Altman insists they will be able to beat "low-level" software engineers by the end of this year. In a new paper, the company's researchers found that even frontier models, or the most advanced and boundary-pushing AI systems, "are still unable to solve the majority" of coding tasks.
