It is not easy to make collective sense of democracy in America at this moment. On the one hand, many of the institutions that have long anchored our system of ordered liberty remain in place, e.g., ...

Abstract: Wideband beamforming serves as a critical signal processing technology in applications such as wireless communications, radar, and sonar systems. However, conventional tapped delay-line ...

Right now, the algo visualizer shows how the algorithm works step by step, but it doesn’t tell users how efficient that algorithm is. For beginners, knowing just the animation isn’t enough — they ...

One July afternoon in 2024, Ryan Williams set out to prove himself wrong. Two months had passed since he’d hit upon a startling discovery about the relationship between time and memory in computing.

Among the four of us, we spent over 300 hours finishing Factorio: Space Age from a fresh start. The expansion offers a full game's worth of content, justifying its price tag, which matches the base ...

Abstract: Today, making decisions in multi-parameter contexts requires long computational times and increasingly powerful computers. In addition, we are often interested not only in the final decision ...
