I think the parent's argument is that, since they only evaluated their algorithms on sorting arrays of 32-bit or 64-bit integers, it is fair game to compare against integer sorting algorithms for which we have better complexities than

Could not agree more, it was fun playing it.

The problem is not the cost, it's the experience. You _could_ be carrying multiple laptop batteries with you also. It would make the laptop itself lighter and thinner, but it would be a larger hassle overall.

That's an arbitrary over-generalization. I'm sure first class was carrying blackberries long after 2007.

It seems like you've been burned too many times with these issues. I'd be curious to know what you have built / brought to market and what you think about this rule of the retail price being 3 ton 4x the BOM.

Services may be at 30% but their profit margin for them is >70%, more than double of what they have for hardware.

Given that these are ~60 years old by now, can someone that knows both the fields they cover and has gone through them explain what, if anything, they are missing ?

Eytzinger layouts are great, but they require more space if one is not allowed to touch the original sorted array. Then again, if you are allowed to use extra space, binary search can be implemented in worst-case constant time for integer a

There exists a 2022 CPPcon presentation covering efficient binary searching, which includes Eytzinger layouts [1]. [1] https://github.com/CppCon/CppCon2022/blob/main/Presentations...

This looks like a less efficient version of skip lists.

Reads like a great summary for the hash map ideas that work in practice. I would have loved to see flat_hash_map<> thrown into the benchmark mix.

GPT4 is way off the mark for me as well: As an AI language model, it is impossible for me to provide a comprehensive list of all soccer players whose names contain a 'Z', as there are thousands of professional and amateur players

Can't you take a moment and appreciate the great technical achievement before you ?

I wonder if the three laws of robotics are already weaved into the LLM. Seems like a necessary step for this kind of usage.

Expensive notebooks have the opposite effect on me. When I pick one up, I appreciate the effort that went into making it and the fact that it was designed counter to a bottom-barrel cheap philosophy. This puts me in a mindset to do higher q

The course seems to advocate for vi, but when I Google: "vi", the response is: "Did you mean: emacs" I don't know what to make of this. :-)

It seems that revenue-wise, Yahoo is growing from ~$5bn circa 2016 (Mayer times) to ~$8bn now. That is impressive. It is also a bit sad to see the Yahoo buildings, which Google bought in 2019, just sitting empty and unutilized.

GitHub would not be happy with Google cloning all repos, and many of them at a high frequency, in order to circumvent a robots.txt restriction.

That book is indeed fascinating. It also has a title warning about the risks to the species of a globally spread virus, right before COVID-19 .

The burden of proof lies with the accuser(s). The argument cannot be that he's fraudulent because he could be fraudulent. What has this particular scientist done ?

hey riskable, thanks for making these vids and for sharing knowledge about your 3d-printed hall-effect keys; keep them coming! :-)
