People routinely solve quadratic assignment problems (perhaps not provably optimal, but finding good solutions within a small bound of optimality) where the search space is greater than 10^3000 [0], using relatively simple heuristics like s

Wow, just learned from the post about OPOL [0], didn't know it was a thing, but at least in our case it worked for 3 languages. My wife and I speak different languages (French and Spanish), we each speak exclusively with that one to ou

A use-case that my kids would love would be something like: "Siri, please play Smell like Teens spirit in the voice of Barry White". Presumably it's just a matter of figuring out a scheme to figure out how to allocate revenue

Doing basic arithmetic with logarithms is a basic skill somewhat smart and civilized people should have... Calculators have made people dumber and lazier. I don't remember when I last multiplied two numbers using a calculator last time

When Ikea came out with smart home stuff, I bet that they would get it right, or at least not as bad as the others (I previously suffered through the enshitification of Samsung's SmartThings). In my experience their stuff has been flim

The simplest is probably WALKSAT-like heuristics, essentially local search: flip a random variable, evaluate, if you see an improvement accept the flip, otherwise try again. This can be surprisingly efficient on some SAT problems

It sounds to me like Neimann won (as in got a nice settlement). Statements by Carlson and chess.com emphasize that he'll be allowed back and didn't find evidence of cheating

Maybe it all came down to the decision to fuse python's Numeric and Numarray libraries into Numpy, providing a unified "fast" Matlab-like library, which ended up being a great fit to a lot of datascience use cases.

I don't disagree, but I think the above number is an interesting datapoint, I wish we had a similar way to compare range in airplanes (jet fuel vs H)

I think it's unlikely in this case. They seem to have gone out of their way to show a method that can achieve replication using very common materials and pretty much medieval-grade technology (except for the vacuum pump, maybe).

My local hackspace got a call from a dating show (Farming for love), looking to see if anyone was interested. They were quite insistent, somehow figured out that there might be a lot of overlap (hacking, fixing things, etc)
