Algorithms really do create political polarization—and this AI tool let users avoid it

People often blame social media algorithms that prioritize extreme content for increasing political polarization, but this effect has been difficult to prove. Only the platform owners have access to ...

New Sorting Algorithm Breakthrough is Better than Dijkstra

There is a new sorting algorithm a deterministic O(m log2/3 n)-time algorithm for single-source shortest paths (SSSP) on directed graphs with real non-negative edge weights in the comparison-addition ...

A fast, in-place, non-auxiliary sorting algorithm that discards original sort order context.

sort_a_unstable_ascending() and sort_a_unstable_descending() are the unstable sorting functions that sort elements in either ascending or descending order while discarding original sort order context.
