The stated inputs are integers between 1 and 100,000, so if you're generating 1 million inputs, then you have 0.99999 ^ 1e6 = 4.5e-5 chance (roughly e^-10) of missing any given number, or roughly double that for missing any pair of val

Am I misinterpreting the prompt, or did the LLM misinterpret it from the get-go? Given a list of 1 million random integers between 1 and 100,000, find the difference between the smallest and the largest numbers whose digits sum up to

Shortest path between two points still depends on your metric. For instance, if you're constrained to travel along the surface of Earth, your shortest path is going to travel along a great circle, rather than pass through the interior

In general, this isn't even a JS problem, or a JIT problem. You have similar issues even in a lower-level language like C++: branch prediction, cache warming, heck, even power state transitions if you're using AVX512 instructions

Perhaps some more generous explanations for the rapid tuition growth between 2000 and 2010: - UC Merced was established in 2005, so I buy the argument on that point regarding investment in infrastructure. - In 2009, the state's general
