My latest in @quantamagazine.bsky.social: a new algorithm solves the classic single-source shortest paths problem faster than ever before — by finding paths out of order:
New Method Is the Fastest Way To Find the Best Routes | Quanta Magazine
A 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.

The two most common questions I get asked about AI are “which AI should I use” and “how do I start using AI?”
I wrote a short guide attempting to answer both questions. www.oneusefulthing.org/p/using-ai-r...

An observation is that managers and teachers are often much better at “getting” LLMs than coders.
Coders deal with deterministic systems. Managers and teachers are very experienced at working with fundamentally unreliable people to get things done, not perfectly, but within acceptable tolerances.

Eating too much cake is the sin of gluttony. However, eating too much pie is okay because the sin of pi is always zero.
