Even after its pullback, this quantum computing pure play trades at a hefty premium.
One would imagine that an AI capable of solving the hardest Olympiad problems would naturally produce novel scientific breakthroughs, yet this has not been the case.
For decades, the solution to harder problems has been ‘build a bigger computer’— but ...
The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. In 1939, upon arriving late to his statistics course at UC Berkeley, George Dantzig—a first-year graduate student—copied two problems ...
The leading approach to the simplex method, a widely used technique for balancing complex logistical constraints, can’t get any better. In 1939, upon arriving late to his statistics course at the ...
We are moving from a world of institutional dependency to one of personal responsibility. The question is no longer, “What can we do for people?” but, “How can we equip people to do more for ...
