TikTok explains issues with its algorithm. TikTok users in the U.S. reported feed and content issues over the weekend. Issues followed the creation of a separate U.S. TikTok entity, as ...

One day in November, a product strategist we’ll call Michelle (not her real name), logged into her LinkedIn account and switched her gender to male. She also changed her name to Michael, she told ...

(THE CONVERSATION) Among high school students and adults, girls and women are much more likely to use traditional, step-by-step algorithms to solve basic math problems – such as lining up numbers to ...

Bio-inspired computational methods have gained popularity recently. These methods mimic the seemingly complex behavior of organisms to tackle difficult and often overwhelming problems. For example, ...

This PR adds an implementation of Kadane's Algorithm, an efficient dynamic programming approach to solve the Maximum Subarray Sum problem in O(n) time. Initializes current and global maximum values.

Children as young as 4 years old are capable of finding efficient solutions to complex problems, such as independently inventing sorting algorithms developed by computer scientists. The scientists ...

Bug: A naive solution may try all subarrays using nested loops (O(n²) or worse), which is too slow for large inputs. Expected: Use Kadane’s Algorithm (O(n)), which efficiently updates the running sum ...

John Peterson does not work for, consult, own shares in or receive funding from any company or organization that would benefit from this article, and has disclosed no relevant affiliations beyond ...

A key question in artificial intelligence is how often models go beyond just regurgitating and remixing what they have learned and produce truly novel ideas or insights. A new project from Google ...

AlphaEvolve uses large language models to find new algorithms that outperform the best human-made solutions for data center management, chip design, and more. Google DeepMind has once again used large ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. For computer scientists, solving problems is a bit like mountaineering. First they must choose a problem to solve—akin to identifying a ...
