I don’t want to downplay the role of computation in contemporary culture. Striphas and Manovich are right—there are computers in and around everything these days. But the algorithm has taken ...

Researchers have developed a new algorithm that vastly reduces the computation of virtually any computational model. The algorithm may be thought of as a shrinking bull's-eye that, over several ...

The most widely used algorithm is slow and not all that clever ... of deep connections that tie together the hardest problems in computation. The ambiguity over its truth or falsity also reveals ...

Even within those limitations, however, there have been regular claims that the hardware can perform in ways that are impossible to match with classical computation (one of the more recent ...

These issues also concern natural selection. Algorithms should facilitate competent, or even near-optimal, computation. Theoretical engineering tools can help us to appreciate constraints on ...

I have long been a fan of the fluctuating work week (FWW) method of paying overtime to non-exempt salaried employees. This computation yields a half-time calculation, i.e. a lower calculation than ...
