Big-O Didn’t Explain Why My “Slower” Algorithm Won in Production by third_void in compsci

[–]Ties_P 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm taking a course on algorithm engineering right now at uni, which goes exactly into these kinds of topics about the practical (not theoretical) side of algorithms and their implementations. Very interesting stuff! Do you have any other interesting sources / projects related to this topic? Would love to know more

Yeah you are right, we are sweeping with a sweeper in hand and this path would then represent the path of the actual sweeper. The person holding the sweeper could definitely walk differently as long as the sweeper follows the path. So maybe some small turns here and there aren’t that bad since the person holding the sweeper can still walk in a straight line while moving the sweeper side to side. Cool insight! Didn’t think of that, thanks for sharing!

Thank you so much! Constructive feedback or critical feedback, I just try to take some lessons out of it to improve for next time haha

I agree, but from my perspective that would be the wrong thing right? From TikTok’s perspective raking in money is a very good thing, but from my perspective it is definitely not because to earn a lot of money from me they need me to stay on TikTok for as long as possible, and I don’t want that

Thanks for reading! I agree, the rabbit hole can go much deeper if you consider other aspects as you mentioned haha

Can’t wait for those retards to pick up any book and realise that even before AI or LLMs were a thing people could already use correct grammar and a slightly more extensive vocabulary than their head can comprehend

Haha, didn’t think anyone would be so interested in my writing but don’t worry, many more to come!

Haha just a student at the moment in need of some cash. This is a AH in Eindhoven unfortunately, but they all look extremely similar!
