Amazingly, this can be done in literally a bit over 6 bytes, shorter than an empty for-loop in many languages...

Last year I ported Loader's construction to Haskell [2] in order to better understand it, and managed to shrink the code down to under 232 bytes [1]. That work was also featured in a video that youtuber CodeParade made about the Quest

The real challenge, for humans as well, is to code an efficient solution. Which probably requires solving the first part.

Optimal aerodynamic efficiency on a 4 wheel car still requires a narrower rear, with a corresponding shorter rear axle to make the rear wheels roll in the slipstream of the front wheels. This can be seen on two of the most aerodynamic cars

I love everything about this design except for how much the front wheels stick out. Especially here in Europe where roads are narrow and parking spaces can be tight, I'd worry about those wheels hitting things or scratching curbs. But

> When BYD unveiled its 1 Megawatt charger, it said it could deliver 2 km of range per second and 400 km (249 miles) during a five-minute charge. How come the 300 seconds in 5 minutes cannot deliver 600 km of range?

How do you make sure that only the original owner of a P2PK can swap for the new coin, and not one who also found the private key? Isn't that private key the only thing that can be required for authorizing the swap?

With the current administration I expect that fierce loyalty trumps both competence and accountability. Sadly, I expect to see many more such examples of amateur hour.

One example would be a CA that takes an exponential number of steps to emulate n steps of a Turing machine. That allows you to predict exponentially far into the future by running the TM machine instead.

Cryptocurrency doesn't enables wealth hoarding at its philosophical core, as demonstrated by some that have a pure linear emission, like 1 coin per second forever, with no benefit whatsoever for their creators.

It's also strict rather than lazy by default. So it doesn't have the two things that make Haskell Haskell.
