The new algorithm for directed cheapest routes "slices the graph into layers, moving outward from the source like Dijkstra’s. But rather than deal with the whole frontier at each step, it uses the Bellman-Ford algorithm to pinpoint influential nodes, moves forward from these nodes to find the shortest paths to others, and later comes back to other frontier nodes. It doesn’t always find the nodes within each layer in order of increasing distance, so the sorting barrier doesn’t apply. And if you chop up the graph in the right way, it runs slightly faster than the best version of Dijkstra’s algorithm. It’s considerably more intricate, relying on many pieces that need to fit together just right. But curiously, none of the pieces use fancy mathematics."

Quanta Magazine · New Method Is the Fastest Way To Find the Best Routes | Quanta MagazineA canonical problem in computer science is to find the shortest route to every point in a network. A new approach beats the classic algorithm taught in textbooks.

Update: got it, no further help needed.

I'm trying to publish a preprint of my paper for ICFP-2025 on arxiv.org. I need an endorsement to submit it to cs.SE category.

Can someone help me with that?

To endorse me, you need to have at least 3 articles published in cs.* categories for the last 5 years.

P.S. Got the endorsement, submitted the preprint for review. Kudos to @michaeldorner

@cstross “People who actually want a personal computer they can program are a niche market, albeit vastly larger than in 1982”

The roots of the #Mega65 lay in #CS #education with #students not being able to grasp the basics not because of lack of intelligence, but through the lack of exposure to basic computing hardware.

“By insulating new computer science and IT students from how computers really work, we may well be disadvantaging them, by preventing them from learning how a computer really works. It's quite the same idea as starting a mechanic on a simple old car, instead of on a nuclear submarine: make the important details visible so that they can be learnt.” — Paul Gardner-Stephen

Types of #Programmers in #CS and #IT:

• Theorist—seek new discoveries in computability theory, complexity theory, and type theory (Church, Turning, Kleene, Cook, etc.)
• Inventor—design, analyse, prove, and publish an original algorithm (Knuth, Dijkstra, Karp, Tarjan, etc.)
• Engineer—devise a correct, efficient implementation of a published algorithm (implementers of DSP, DIP, etc.)
• Translator—convert an algorithm's mathematical description directly into a programme (CS undergraduates)
• Cobbler—cobble together APIs into a programme that might, or might not, work (senior IT practitioners)
• Cutter—cut and paste existing bits of code into a programme that just might do something unexpected (mid-level IT practitioners)
• Cleaner—clean up senior team members' messy, buggy code, while leaving the existing bugs intact and adding a few new ones (junior IT practitioners)
• Generator—ask AI to write direct-to-production code that no IT practitioner in the team could be bothered to read (senior IT managers)

My old introduction was very outdated, so it's time to reintroduce myself:
#introduction

Hi 👋, I’m Laura.

I am a transfeminine person, somewhat in the middle of my transition. 🏳️‍⚧️ #trans #transbubble

A major part of my time I spend as a Postdoc in computer science, working on embedded AI and low-power IoT communication. #cs #TinyML #IoT #academia #science

Outside of work, I am active in the local #queer center (board member, GER: Vorstand), I enjoy playing board games, and I listen to too many #podcasts.
