What policies and programs can society implement to make a tangible, lasting impact on people’s lives? Social scientists have been trying to answer this question for decades by conducting randomized ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. If you want to solve a tricky problem, it often helps to get organized. You might, for example, break the problem into pieces and tackle ...

In this video, we explore why Spotify's shuffle feature isn't truly random and operates based on an algorithm. We discuss the reasons behind our preferences for non-random shuffle, the results of an ...

Researchers have successfully used a quantum algorithm to solve a complex century-old mathematical problem long considered impossible for even the most powerful conventional supercomputers. The ...

If you’ve ever shuffled a deck of playing cards, you’ve most likely created a unique deck. That is, you’re probably the only person who has ever arranged the cards in precisely that order. Although ...

If you want to solve a tricky problem, it often helps to get organized. You might, for example, break the problem into pieces and tackle the easiest pieces first. But this kind of sorting has a cost.

Abstract: Distributed detection over decentralized baseband architectures has emerged as an important problem in the uplink massive MIMO systems. In this paper, the classic Kaczmarz method is fully ...

The proposal suggests implementing a shared random algorithm to eliminate Maximal Extractable Value (MEV) at the block level and distribute block construction more equitably across the network. An ...
