No, you can not. Your example is correct only if addition is associative. And it is not always associative. Hence the need for higher abstractions, where you model commutativity and associativity of certain operations.

Reductions are painful because they specify a sequence of ordered operations. Runtime is O(N), where N is the sequence length, regardless of amount of hardware. So you want to work at a higher level where you can exploit commutativity and i

I hate articles like these. They get 10% right and the remaining 90% is just some random filler. I don't have time to write a lengthy comment but do note the LACK of SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE. There is no evidence that jacking kids cell phon

That echoes my experience as a much weaker player as well. I improved leaps and bounds by studying puzzles. Not so much by memorizing openings.

That was standard practice for much of recorded history. Surrender now or we will kill you all. Alexander the Great did it to Tyre and Sidon. The Romans did it to Jerusalem. The Israelis did it to Gaza. The orange madman and his henchmen ha

Does the data reject the null hypothesis? If you group people into hundreds of groups (occupations) and measure something (Alzheimer's rate) variance ensures that the means of the measurements will vary. Some groups will have low means

There are many researchers who already avoid US conferences. The risk of arbitrary arrest, being denied entry, or general asshattery from border guards who want to snoop through your social media is just too high. The needless and unjustifi

Last I read the strike price for offshore wind was about half of that for nuclear power (Hinkley Point). In other words the "huge subsidies" aren't going to who you think they are.

Microsoft showing 2FA down everyone's throat is quite painful. I don't for a second believe they are only using my phone number for authentication. They are storing the data and they are correlating it with other apps they force 2
