AI agents are Meseeks. They clone them selves contantly annihilate copies of themselves when they complete a goal. Asking about their "Sentience" is an utter category error. Whatever they are, they aren't human or any kind of

A linked list is sparse by the metric of minimum maximum degree (2). A maximally sparse connected graph by mean (degree edge/node ratio) is any tree (mean degree ~ 1), not necessarily a linked list.

More important is that the new algorithm has a multiplicative factor in m (edges), so it's only efficient for extremely sparse graphs. If m > n (log n)^{1/3} Then this algorithm is slower. for 1 Million nodes, if the average de

Getting the work done faster for the same money doesn't make the work more expensive. You could slow down the inference to make the task take longer, if $/sec matters.

It's 2 because there cannot be just one. There must be 2. Same as with magnetic poles and Siths. (and not same as with Highlanders.) It's not infinite, because if you add more, you get a different space of numbers. j and k are not

It depends on what that "other way" is, and if it has a different structure, making it a different thing. What's special about C is that it's almost a completely unified and uniform view of algebra of analysis, but not
